This 37 minute interview with Paulina Borsook is terrific! Her prescient 2001 book, "Cyberselfish: A Critical Romp Through the Terribly Libertarian Culture of High Tech" is now on my list of books to pick up soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL-k...

So Noem was a diversity hire? Say it ain't so! Wait, is "diversity hire" different from a "patronage hire"? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why is this a debate? Why is this an analysis? Why are we discussing his motivations or the reasoning behind why he has it or why he kept it? (These are all rhetorical questions.) Nazi tattoo = you’re done. It’s literally that simple. There’s no nuance or further conversation needed.

Oh wow

Whaaa?!? I thought everyone (sometimes grudgingly) acknowledged the shooter was right leaning. apnews.com/article/char...

Paramount has been an abysmal custodian of the Trek franchise. Discovery, SNW, and Lower Decks really needed a better home.

IMO, this is one of the most under-acknowledged aspects of the freedom of speech discourse.

Think for-profit health care is impossibly unethical? Me tooll! Now, per Stacy Abrams via parkroseperma.bsky.social, tech companyies are being enlisted to create AI to evaluate Medicare claims with financial incentives for "cost savings" (denied care). www.youtube.com/shorts/fgaR0...

Question for people who are more plugged into DC elite circles than I am (so, everybody): if Stephen Miller were to disappear from the administration would it still maniacally pursue its deportation program?

Good riddance to bad rubbish www.joemygod.com/2025/08/hate...

Stephen Miller is shambling, shrieking crime against humanity. That is all.

Now that the tech bros are closing in on eliminating major chunks of white collar and other jobs with AI, they're less interested in maintaining a population of worker drones. So, how to get rid of the "excess population"? Let's let the climate take care of that!

I have no idea if this will amount to anything. Meanwhile, I just cancelled my Paramount Plus subscription. I can add it to my "businesses I no longer patronize" list. www.joemygod.com/2025/07/writ...

Rather than celebrate our nation's 249th birthday, I feel like we should hold a national wake for our democracy. Maybe it's just me. 🙁

SHOCKING! The Republican bill does NOT ban tax on tips or overtime. But it does snatch healthcare from millions of Americans to give tax cuts to billionaires! But go ahead, tell us again how Republicans are “pro-family” and “pro-worker.” Video: @repgreglandsman.bsky.social

The GOP budget slashes over $300 Billion from SNAP to fund tax cuts for Billionaires. With @demwomencaucus.bsky.social I called on the other side of the aisle to stop attacks on women and families and stand with moms, children, and seniors. Dump this extremist bill!

Is today "trying out material for my ill-advised standup debut" day?

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

After the scope of Musk's efforts became clear, here was my first big piece on Trump and Musk and pushing back, on Feb. 11:

“Of course [Trump] was pissed,” one of the officials, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told CNN. “Why should a multibillion dollar company pass off costs to consumers?” AYFKM? www.cnn.com/2025/04/29/b...

What the hell did John Roberts think would be the logical end point for a move to the "unitary executive" theory. Now he can enjoy the rest of his life as a political eunuch.

Desi Lydic taps in former Daily Show correspondent Olivia Munn to break down Trump’s tariff mania

In addition to every House Republican, Jared Golden (D-ME02), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA03), Henry Cuellar (D-TX28), and Ed Case (HI01) voted in support of the SAVE Act this morning. The bill would have passed with only Republican votes, but WTF?

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?" This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there. He has some thoughts.
