In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

I'm old enough to remember when the prevailing argument against affirmative action was that it failed to consider the "real" form of unfairness, which was income disparity

it turns out it is extraordinarily difficult to save the lives of millions without generating some soft power

Here is the formal letter the NIH sent today to UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk. “These projects are fully reinstated, and the letter dated July 31, 2025 is rescinded without conditions. Funds will be made available immediately and are no longer suspended, terminated, or restricted.”

I was trying to think of the name of that beer bar that used to be at the corner of West Tulane and N. High, and uh...

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:

BREAKING: Disney announces that Jimmy Kimmel will return to his show on Tuesday night! HUGE. This is a win against fascism. Here's the press statement:

Happy September 21, for those who celebrate.

Spent today in the Southern Orchards area talking to voters about Jesse Vogel for Columbus City Council. If you'd like to help, I am hosting a fundraiser with some neighbors on Oct 11 (flyer below). Join us, but if you can't make it, please send us a donation here: secure.actblue.com/donate/easton

Hey Hey RFK. How many kids did you kill today?

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone.

when you die in ohio this is what they do with your body

Gen X, finally roused from its ideological torpor, gathers outside the White House. the police are called, the fire hoses are turned on them but they start drinking it and only get stronger

Correction on our previous post: Taco Tuesday will be Tuesday, Sept 16. See you at El Vaquero!

I’m just here to make friends and keep up with friends I’ve followed across various internet homes for over a quarter century. All of the drive to go viral and “online is a place to win arguments” stuff is background noise I try to tune out as much as possible.

Honestly a great reminder of how we take the visual coherence of sports television direction and camerawork for granted to see a rare instance where they completely fuck it up

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is to watch Hiroshima Mon Amour and Last Year at Marienbad back-to-back.

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country? TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Trump Take Coffee. In all seriousness, I've started buying big boxes of inexpensive loose-leaf tea from Saraga for day-to-day use to save a bit of money.

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

The press: “Kamala, what is your position on updates to section 420(c)69 of the internal revenue code? Too slow, you dumb bitch, never gonna be president.” Also the press: “mr. Vance you’re so dreamy, tell us more about Ohio.”

Amazing how many articles there were about “Kamala Harris, what does she do? What policy debates does she participate in? How is she “messing up the border?” And the current VP is just a full on shitposter and the political press goes, “ah well, nevertheless”

Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

Exactly---it was shocking to see this kind of thing without having to flash a passport first.

As I return from another walk in my neighborhood in which I was nearly pancaked by cars *twice* while I had the pedestrian right of way, I'm thinking about the connection between pro-pedestrian laws/infrastructure and simple culture.

Self-care is overrated—helping others has the biggest benefits for everyone involved A new 2-week intervention finds that helping others improves well-being more than "self-kindness", with benefits for depressed mood, anxiety, and loneliness due to social connection psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Two big ones for Jesse Vogel.

I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.

Never seen the blackberry kind in the wild

“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Four years after Columbus welcomed thousands of Afghans fleeing the Taliban, Trump administration attacks on immigrants have created growing anxiety. New from Larkin Cleland. matternews.org/community/tr...

Got a hankering for some Cracker Barrel cheesy potatoes

I saw Jesse Vogel biking this morning in the neighborhood (as a form of transportation). Imagine having someone on city council that doesn’t just use a car to get around.

A chance to hear what Jesse Vogel’s vision for Columbus.

“got lost :(“ feels so much more heart-wrenching than just “Lost Cat.” Anyway, I don’t know Angelo, but if you’re in Old North/South Clintonville, keep an eye out.

2 bits of data from new Economist/YouGov poll..... 13% support for cutting research funding to universities. 24% among Republicans. Polling on this continues to be catastrophic for the Rs, suggests Dems should be learning far harder into standing up for science and our universities. 1/

Bare minimum for holding a conversation: Sugar-enriched flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate 60, and Yellow Dye No. 5. Just everything a growing boy needs.

Outstanding article that does a 10/10 job of explaining the context of the attacks on Rep. Mohamed.

It has come to my attention that Libs of TikTok is coming after MY state rep again and well *starts winding up his arm in a circular fashion to prepare for a punch, like in a cartoon*
