More money for cops, regardless of what it's supposed to be used for, is NEVER the answer.

It’s been a while since we posted a testimony but we still have many more to share! Make sure you’re following, or come volunteer with us to read the many stories we have printed out for volunteers to read in our space!

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.

When you find a good movie and then it ends with Tom Waits playing, that's an amazing moment.

I was happy for the few minutes I thought Jake Paul was just a really bad poker player.

OMG IT’S HERE! My first issue of the Baseball Research Journal as editor! I LOVE IT

NEW: U.S. donors are funneling millions to a group that describes itself as the AIPAC of Europe. Elnet, founded by AIPAC alums, has taken credit for key European pro-Israel policies since October 7, including securing the largest defense deal in Israel’s history theintercept.com/2025/12/15/e...

I'm updating my Politics of U.S. Health Policy (MPH-level) and Health Law and Politics syllabi. Let me know if you've written something in this space recently that you think would be good to assign (or otherwise have recommendations)!

I reject the idea that individuals or groups of regular people are responsible for the actions of powerful people in a corrupt system.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

It is possible to over do the opsec but using BCC on mass emails is about as basic as it gets. And yet....

Yes, she was breathing. I wish I could sleep this soundly.

On this day in 1970, Cesar Chavez was sentenced to an indefinite jail term for his work boycotting lettuce produced by farms that had used coercive tactics against the United Farm Workers.

Comparing al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes is certainly....a choice

This is truly hilarious, read the whole thing: “if your child will be staying after school for an activity, log it in your Ass (“After-School Stuff”).” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/our...

This is good. Stop the Burn. “Seeing it really put it into perspective for me,” Gauthier said Thursday, before the tour. “It’s about the incinerator, but it’s also about the injustice of all of these other cumulative impacts that no community should have to put up with.” whyy.org/articles/phi...

I will never take your political takes seriously if you describe fascist collaborators as "moderates"

I've spent my adult life voting for Democrats and feeling ill after and for what? I only wish I could say I'm surprised.

I'm sorry, who is "we"

Just a reminder that the ADL is a hate group and you shouldn't listen to anything they have to say.

How's Dersch this morning? Anyone checked? Lol.

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

My brilliant and talented wife can be seen carrying a coffin in this video. Medicare for All, now.

It is WAY past my bedtime
