An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

She propositioned us. I am not joking.

His people obviously briefed him well, and this is the first thing they said after the meeting. If you can make national statements like this without deviating for a second from the local message, you really know what you're doing. bsky.app/profile/zohr...

The head of health services in the United States, letting parasitic lampreys bite his arms for some godforsaken reason.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

@merriam-webster.com just released the first new print edition of its Collegiate Dictionary in 22 years — and it weighs five pounds! So of course, I had questions. :) In today's podcast, I talk with @petersokolowski.bsky.social about why print still matters. APPLE PODCASTS: bit.ly/3LMhwbL

I think it's under-reported how much Peruvians and South Americans generally consider the Pope to be fully Peruvian. They don't forget where he comes from, they just don't care. That is how well he integrated himself. He has all Francis's power in that world, and North America too.

Seems like a rather important story from #APNews apnews.com/article/immi...

It’s the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials, and some people could use a lesson on the “superior orders” question.

uh, what?

If you’re a conservative who’s triggered by the new Ken Burns documentary on The American Revolution, you’re a fragile punk-ass weakling. Go run home to your momma and cry on her knee. Don’t bother the rest of us with your insecurity.

In a stunning admission, prosecutors in the James Comey case conceded that the two-count indictment against the former FBI director was never presented to or voted on by a grand jury. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/due-to-...

The Trump Administration killed over 383 active clinical trials and directly harmed more than 74,000 Americans with lasting future impacts for the public at large. Trump' s war on scientific research and public health is costing Americans lives and livelihoods.

Criminal practitioners don’t astonish easily. This is astonishing.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

Good work. (gift link) “For many people living in the pedestrian death zones identified by The Post, walking is a matter of necessity. . . . Wherever we have these hot spots, these communities are not getting what they need. . . . Yes, it’s the design, but it’s more than that.’” wapo.st/4polhCJ

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

This. Every word of this. Click through, read the whole thing, then go ahead and subscribe because he's very good at this.

Nuzzi is boring & squalid & corrupt & a Nazi sympathiser - you can't say more - but it's important to read bad writing. Not her whole book. But give the garbage a look if you see it in your feed. Understand why it's bad. Understand the emptiness of those who employ her.

Please read.

Again, Nuzzi didn't make a mistake. She sought this out. It was well known. Back when @dicknixon.bsky.social was anonymous & there were rumors he was important, she - drunk - solicited him to come see her in New York. He declined, quit using her as a source, & kept her at arm's length.

Time was if you talked to a woman like that in public a man would tell you what’s what.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.

Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.

He really does find a new low each day, somehow.

you can't make me learn what "cloudflare" is. I shouldn't have to know these things. I have a sensitive artistic spirit
