As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

How can you say that? After all, Lutnick bought another house, in DC, for $25 million. In cash. From Brett Baier. Of Fox. Nothing says "in touch with average American working family" like that! /s washingtonian.com/2024/12/20/b...

if mamdani gets this in every interview, republicans should always be asked to respond to the 76% of Black voters who think their party is "very" racsist

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law. There must be consequences.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

okay so here’s the actual bad part of the article “oh it never affected my coverage” horse and also shit and what the fuck is Lizza doing sitting on this while RFK takes a buzz saw to American health so he can sell substack subscriptions ghouls, the lot of them

There are so many disgraceful features of the Trump Administration, but its embrace of Putin & betrayal of Ukraine is the very worst of them, and is likely to have the most dire long-term consequences. Why trust the U.S. any longer? www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

I thought Walter Isaacson had a great line about this on TV the other night: That line in the Declaration wasn't a fact, it was a mission statement

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

In a profession where the most prominent journalists are increasingly jockeying for position on the best-seller lists and talk show circuits, you'd think one of them would've figured out that punching the bully back would be the most effective way to distance themselves from the pack.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Weird. Nothing on the @nytimes.com homepage about the President of the United States calling for the execution of members of the opposition in response to their political speech.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York. Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

If Mike Johnson is going to suck Trump's cock like this in a public space he needs to report this to his son with that app they use to report to each other when they get freaky.

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way. -Ezra Klein, New York TImes

It would be tragic except that they voted for it.

Here you have Sec Lutnick as Commerce Secretary and his oldest son, Kyle Lutnick, involved in exactly the same AI data center deal. Dad as government official. Son as financial deal maker--earning the family-controlled company millions in fees. Both this summer.

CIR-CUIT RIDE, CIR-CUIT RIDE (In a carriage and with a per diem of $1.50, because originalism)

we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another

Massie: "I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is gonna get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island. That is what they have coming. In fact, they need to be on the other side of bars, a lot of them."

Hosting a man who (per the CIA) ordered the murder of a journalist, Trump berates a journalist who dares to "embarrass our guest" by asking about it and later threatens to take away her network's license for asking about Epstein files.

Why the fuck didn’t any other reporter on Air Force One that night call Trump out for his disgusting remark? Why the fuck didn’t any other reporter on Air Force One defend this female reporter? And why the fuck did it take 72 hours to hear about Trump’s disgusting & cowardly insult?

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

Oh hey, I found the war on christmas

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues? Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened! Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week. people.com/donald-trump...

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?” TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

The US is not a liberal democracy, and hasn’t been since January. Constitution, rule of law, checks and balances, individual rights — all not in operation. It’s now a mixed regime, autarky, competitive authoritarianism. Not at risk. Not could be. Is. Doesn’t mean that’s forever. But it is now.

It’s pretty simple. When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Dear God. “Why are you guys so obsessed with the President of the United States being part of a massive child rape ring?”

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

always worth noting that Longstreet was objectively the best corps commander in the CS Army but that he never had a post named after him (for the reasons noted here)- but Bragg and Hood, who had terrible track records, did.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Not great!

You'll ignore this, but every time you tweet angrily about crap like that Nuzzi piece you're confirming NYT editors' intuitions/incentivizing more of it. The entire intellectual/journo model here is, "Does this person get people angry? Yes? OK they're provocative/get talked about. Write about her."

The scale at which the President is profiting from his post is staggering. Perhaps past presidents and their self-dealing snuck out with a million or so — a briefcase full of cash. This time, it's billions, which you should visualize as a fleet of school buses filled with Benjamin Franklins.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

“Apple set the tone” when Tim Cook gave Trump an engraved, glass disc. This week, the Swiss delegation gave him a “special Rolex desktop clock” and a $130,000 gold bar. “.. It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it," an administration official told @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/11/14/t...

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.
