So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices? Fascinating.

been waiting and waiting and waiting for Andrew Patterson's follow-up to the brilliant Vast of Night, and finally it's here and it looks good!

Gen-X doesn't have definitive songs. We listened to our music from the end of a garden hose.

You know what I like? I like making spots for new TTRPGs on my office shelf. Just doing a whole objective-correlative thing with my love of the medium, the people, the promise of a new game, the reality that I'll likely never play it but that's okay because reading and thinking about them rules.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

Now let’s do economics.

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

What a week!

I cannot think of anything more performative than being mad about an Anita Sarkeesian consulting credit in the year of our lord 2026. These guys really are the most easily propagandized people on planet earth. "Brown woman scary because some guy on 4chan said so 10 years ago"

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

This is Ben Stiller. Right? Right?

This is amazing. Brilliant way for people to comprehend the enormity of the files with these visuals. Glad the survivors were acknowledged with the bright light of the candles 🕯️

An agenda for Supreme Court reform: - 18 year term limits - Expand the court to 13 Justices - Binding ethics rules - Congressional limits on what the Court can rule on per act of legislation We need to change the composition of the Court, but also its role. The Court has far too much power.

This has got to be some kind of trap.

May the fifth be with you.

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

I'm going on Master Chef, looking Gordon Ramsay dead in the eye while I pop this in the microwave, then staring at him unblinking for two minutes until it's ready.

This isn’t just about who gets a tax cut. It’s about who bears the long-run burden. Higher prices for basics plus temporary relief is a rotten deal for working households.
