someone please give me one of these professor's jobs, dear god. lithub.com/the-publishi...

i had a literal dream that somehow House Democrats prevented this. please, my brain, it is so innocent.

i unfortunately enjoyed this saga. what a moron

sometimes I wonder if the beautiful Dua Lipa has ever felt sad in her life

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*. The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

fun fact: if you watch the 2004 Adam Curtis documentary 21 years after it came out, you will probably want to jump out a window

i have once again written about Meghan Markle: www.jezebel.com/its-official...

oh you mean the Democrats? The disappointing party? They’re disappointing us again? Huh. Imagine that.

I have taken every single mode of municipal public transit in Berlin this weekend (u-bahn, s-bahn, bus, tram, and ferry) and I think I should get a celebratory sticker or something.

one of the thousands of suit guys (each campus is required to have one) and yet the one with the best timing and excellent poise—the young king of suit guys.

the classification of a galley delivery i'm getting today makes it sound like DHL is all in on the censorship game

this headline made me lol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

if I had a nickel every time an Andrew Garfield character yells in an American accent on an Ivy League campus about a position he feels he is due, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but…

Change in Headline

i occasionally still lurk on X, to see how people are reacting ot major news, and damn everyone is a FREAK on that site. even the normal people are having one-sided debates with strawmen they made up

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Mine and Zohran’s alma mater, @bowdoincollege.bsky.social, had not said a single word about his campaign & there’s an argument for that, but this as their announcement post about his victory is actually pretty upsetting.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Abigail to Zohran............ that is a great headline

truly, the people's mayor

Good morning to the democratic socialist republic of Manhattan

Mine and Zohran’s alma mater, @bowdoincollege.bsky.social, had not said a single word about his campaign & there’s an argument for that, but this as their announcement post about his victory is actually pretty upsetting.

the bush/cheney era has been (falsely) retconned into a gentler, more upstanding time thanks to trump. but you don’t get trump without bush and you REALLY don’t get trump without cheney

dick cheney? i hardly know her

Tremane Wood is facing execution on November 13. I revisited his case to investigate how a group of judges and prosecutors have secretly coordinated in ways that have undermined Tremane’s final chance to live. www.huffpost.com/entry/oklaho...

DUMB

can't help but notice that her public posting cadence has slowed significantly since this

My barometer for baking my own bread is “would I pay $7 to $9 for this at a farmers market” and today the answer is overwhelming yes

i don't care about hakeem jefferies <3

evil evil evil

the goodwill emanating from Zohran's campaign + marathon sunday = potent recipe for missing NYC

NEED a John Early for Zohran tee shirt, cc: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Next week, Tremane Wood will have the chance to make his case for mercy. Oklahoma's attorney general is fighting to ensure his death.

BILL DEUX BLASIO

this is among the great tragedies of the media industry falling apart; journalists whose failures used to be smoothed out by editors and balanced out by colleagues with more integrity are now forced to do weird stunts like this to get more eyeballs

some pls leak how many pounds of hair she has glued to her scalp and what kind of benzos she's rocking with

i see masks regularly on public transit in Berlin + everyone i know is sick at the same rate and same extremeness as my loved ones are in NYC + DC 🤷🏻‍♀️

for the fourth year running, i had the honor of picking @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social's scary story contest winners. read at your own risk! www.jezebel.com/10-spine-chi...

Me doing this quiz:

Rest In Peace Lia Smith. You deserved a whole, full, beautiful life.

inspired me to dig out this relic that the NAS handed out at the time lmao

i covered the report (for the student paper) discussed ad nauseum in here when it came out and i cannot emphasize enough how much of a punchline it is for alumni

i will give this guy $5 if he promises to feel sorry for himself somewhere soundproof. sometimes our choices today prevent other choices tomorrow! oh well!

so thirsty for Zohran criticism you talk to a fake de Blasio?? and have to pull the story??? that is so embarrassing www.huffpost.com/entry/bill-d...

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

who is going to write the essay about how yes it is bad to analyze famous women’s bodies in public, however many many famous women are disconcertingly skinny and it sets a bad precedent for everyone who sees pictures of them on a regular basis to pretend that it is normal

Steven J. Lockjaw

$15/hour in 2025??? they really do not want to win, do they
