Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

An update on that insane lease term where the landlord owns everything you create during the tenancy:

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Has the rapture happened in Asia and Africa yet.

Fascinating thread dealing with one of my longtime bugbears: how The Economist doesn't provide bylines for articles, to foster the impression you're reading some wizened British guy writing from his cork-lined study, instead of the true author, Jesse Singal, popping zits and farting on his couch

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

absoulely serious question: how many trump associates were primed for this dip and have already profited from trading on it?

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, as the nation’s largest private provider of scholarships to minority students works to raise $1 billion to strengthen all 37 of its historically Black colleges and universities. https://cnn.it/3IzW9Jf

the new york times doesn’t want to get pulled into any of tylenol’s defamation lawsuits

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Man the Olivia Nuzzi thing is just wild to me. It's the most blatant, theatrical example you could ever ask for of elite immunity from consequences ... but when I look on social media, all I see is people I thought I respected cheering her on.

we are governed by charlatans

Yup.

I get a kick out of this b/c she clearly is wearing makeup in this pic. Explain her lips, Bob. Just to start.

Now that’s what I call a pivot

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

I’d really like to see more of her colleagues backing her up when things like this happen too. They can’t stop talking about her in conservative forums. Fucking stand up for her please

#OpEd: "We can’t bury the deeper, driving forces behind why this is happening. This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents — ICE, police officers, prison staff — have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies." Read the full story here. ⬇️

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court will consider expanding Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning 90-year-old precedent.

My mother did this a few years back. There was a typo on her marriage license which had to be fixed first. Then she could get that and her other docs for real ID. Took about 3-4 months for all the paperwork. She had to send in a copy of her wedding announcement (!). Decades have passed.

Someone should ask Trump whether he agrees with an advisor using this language and displaying this disrespect towards a member of Congress. www.blackenterprise.com/jasmine-croc...

Love this energy from @404media.co: they're suing ICE to turn over information about their $2m spyware contract after ignoring a FOIA for a year. (Learn more and contribute at the link.)

i don't profess to understand too much of this stuff but does it seem like they're just cycling the money back and forth here to keep the scam going

Ten years after countries promised to cut climate pollution in the Paris Agreement, countries plan to produce more than twice the amount of fossil fuels that would be consistent with that deal. n.pr/46sDnvh

It looks like academia dot edu very quietly deleted this clause, today, possibly in response to the increased reporting and documentation on this, including here: dailynous.com/2025/09/22/w... Which is not *less* shady as hell, so i stand by my recommendation to leave that place 🤷🏾‍♂️

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order

Read the AAUP’s Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure newly published report, "On Title VI, Discrimination & Academic Freedom." The report addresses the issue of discrimination and the investigations opened by the Trump administration under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases. This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.15122

In addition to scraping your uploads for "generative AI" training, Academia dot edu is going to start claiming rights to your personal info— *including your signature & voice*— for anything they see fit. So now'd be a good time to remove all of your uploaded works, & then delete your whole account.

Does anyone know in Tuesday's Rapture if these folks get lifted right out of their cars or if the vehicles ascend with them? This is my first Rapture and I'm trying to plan my commute.

Every time I look at this, I see a different part (literally)

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

That NBC paid her nearly $70M to have thoughts like this on air

So much of now is people furious their children-property are "broken" be it queer, trans, autistic, etc. and exacting revenge on the parties they believe responsible and to make it so children have no more rights and an autonomy than a Build-a-bear does.

This is very good from E. Tammy Kim, the god. As annoying as folks may think we are online, it doesn’t change the fact that disabled people *are* one of the many groups routinely being fucked over by our current administration and political moment. www.newyorker.com/news/deep-st...

No idea huh? I wonder what the dragon's like. Is it a Grand Dragon, Stephen?

this Earth Wind and Fire special on CBS is pretty good!

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Stevie Wonder pays tribute to Earth, Wind and Fire's "September" during tonight's "A Grammy Salute to Earth, Wind & Fire Live"

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

Hearing that starting tomorrow there will be a sharp increase in 287g related immigration arrests/operations in the Orlando area. Possibly conducted by Florida law enforcement but ICE has been asked to assist to process those arrested. Please be cautious if you live in that area.

In addition to cancelling your Disney accounts, now is also a great time to delete academia.edu

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

They don’t seem very sad that he died
