I am not seeing nearly enough attention paid to this #rapture side hustle aftertherapturepetcare.com

IT IS TIME.

So, yeah aftertherapturepetcare.com

We agree with Stephen Miller

Sigrid Nunez in the TLS.

I feel that the proximate cause of this regime's demise will be their failure to earn the consent of the governed I think the process of removal will likely not be clean I worry is that the next Democratic government will lack the steel to do what must be done Typical Wednesday night for me.

Living in a Kundera novel

ALSO I can't believe a Jewish person is admonishing us to just be nice.

Really too bad about Ezra Klein. Honestly sad. Regardless, won't be reading or listening any more. I don't need an echo chamber; I just don't have time for someone with such poor judgement.

Oh hey y'all here's another one--Barefoot in the Park! Neil Simon script. Adorable

Robert Redford’s final act of art and service was creating a new news cycle.

Robert Redford knew when to get the hell out. RIP to a great one. Would give anything to go back to when people felt shaken by watching this movie 👇 (and also to when WaPo was heroic)

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands: You will have to come through me.

I still really miss The Millions. Who knew it was a brief golden age of book internet? Anyway, I'm glad this piece is still around: my thoughts on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. #booksky themillions.com/2011/09/seve...

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

My poor mom had a bad fall and is in the hospital, but this brilliant human-centered design is cheering me up a smidge

THESE THINGS

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name: we are deep into an effort to create an authoritarian cult around Trump and we must behave based on that reality. This is *not* politics as usual.

California and Florida are on opposite ends of the school-closure spectrum and the differences in test scores are a wash. Some individual schools and districts definitely stayed closed too long but it just isn’t the case that this is some huge, obvious, foreseeable blunder.

This is so lovely. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...

And what is it when the state demands a stake in private companies? The call is coming from inside the house?

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign,” Senator Bernie Sanders writes in a guest essay.

Ok NOW I GET IT

New York Pitchbot has attained its final form

Extremely disappointed in a prominent journalist I admired. Oh well

Boston will not back down from who we are and what we stand for.

(Guardian) - Household electricity bills have increased by 10% since Donald Trump re-entered the White House, a new report has found, with its authors highlighting the impact of the president’s datacenter boosterism .. as part of the cause. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A vote for Cuomo seems to rather literally be a vote for Trump

Oh I love them! Also it's "row to hoe," not "road to hoe" And "hear, hear!" not "here, here!" And you pore over the pages, not pour

Under totalitarianism, Nazi and Soviet, there can be no organizations other than the state. Even little biking clubs were banned under Stalin. Tractor sharing farmer co-ops under Hitler. This is a good reminder that our little organizations, meetup groups etc are a resistance to authoritarianism.

Jewish people constituted 0.75% of the German population in 1933.

Blue states: we're gonna redistrict to get even bluer! Massachusetts: that's cute

Trump sends armed ICE agents to taunt Gov Newsom. If you don't see the parallels between Trump's ICE and Hitler's brownshirts you simply don't know history. We need Democratic AGs to begin arresting ICE agents. They might have degree of immunity but let them prove that in court.

I hate that Gavin Christopher Newsom might end up making me go to the other place to read these posts

When we have the US military being used to police US citizens within the US, I think it’s safe to say we are living within an authoritarian and, in this case, fascist state. No more “approaching.” No more “resembles.” This is it. It might not be in its fullest form yet, but this is it.
