Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Perhaps the only instance in recent memory in which I just said “I could do that” about a professional athlete and was correct.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

Called my state reps just now to suggest legislation changing the Chavez holiday to April 10th, the day the Delano Marchers crossed the Sacramento River in 1966. Those marchers, like Dolores Huerta, are American heroes worth celebrating.

Replace all Cesar Chavez Avenues and statues with Dolores Huertas. Fuck that anti-immigrant pedophile rapist piece of shit.

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

The other night I arrived, thanks to LA traffic, too late to NOT park at the lot next to the sports venue. I do it at least once each season. Three years ago: $40. Last: $50. Other night? $65! We talk about the price of eggs but, the candidate who runs on “prices can’t be insane,” wins in a walk.

The didn’t change the name to The Department of Major Combat Operations for nothing.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

This is war profiteering and I'm ashamed that so many people I know and like are apparently not ashamed to be in bed with these prediction markets.

I am late to the news that Michael Silverblatt, the host of Book Worm, died. I mean this with all the love in my heart, but I will never forget and never not find funny thinking about how his expertly crafted, thoughtful questions would go on forever. So much so that, in his half hour interview...

Breaking my social media hiatus to share some good news! I’ve just signed a deal with Basic Books for my next book, Impunity, which uncovers the right’s decades-long effort to destroy political accountability and protect their friends in power. I’m so excited for this one!

It might’ve been me but then that dude shared state secrets to impress the dorks in his Discord.

Learned from my doctor that if you were born in some handful of years in the mid to late seventies, the FDA recommended a course of childhood vaccines that wasn’t optimally effective then switched back. As such, if you’re 50ish, you need to get your antibodies checked. I needed a new vax.

For those of you longing for the elegance of Milan as you watch these Olympics, let me direct you to the 76 Station near the Camarillo Outlet Mall.

Actually, maybe this explains the Nazi trench coat…

I’m just surprised he found someone to let him sit on his shoulders in a trench coat so they’d let him in the bar. lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

The first sign that the post is falling apart is that a well-staffed editorial operation would have encouraged this writer to continue the poem it began in paragraph one into paragraph two.

I’m available to start a book review cooperative. I don’t have any money, but I have a ton of editing experience, and I love doing it. And I write, too.

Insane that this legitimately qualifies as news-you-can-use content.

Hey Bay Area folks! I'm coming to do a live show and book signing at KQED on Thursday the 22nd. Telling some stories. Talking to my friend, Roman Mars from @99pi.org on stage. Radiotopia Presents: The Memory Palace Live | KQED kqed.org

Today’s march took the same Fifth Ave route as the 1917 anti-lynching Silent Parade, one of the first American civil rights protests. Both started at 59th, by General Sherman’s statue, and headed downtown. For more on the Silent Parade: hyperallergic.com/naacp-silent...

A few thoughts about this lovely obituary. First, when you tell a story of someone's life this well , their memory becomes a blessing for anyone who reads it. It's just a beautiful thing... www.latimes.com/food/story/2...

Best morality.

We literally declared independence when England did this.

People ARE being trained. In communities around the country, regular folks learning legal methods to protect their neighbors from a masked goon-squad disappearing people based on the color of their skin or their accent. Meanwhile, the state keeps expanding reasons they can kill us.

In case you need a distraction from (gestures at literally everything else), @natedimeo.bsky.social snuck a little surprise into the Memory Palace feed yesterday. And yeah, I know, doesn't he always, but trust me on this one. #PublicDomainDay

Yes yes, nothing gets your constituents more fired up than statements that use the word “entanglements.” Golden age of political communication.

“Everybody is very, very just totally, totally, totally, troubled.” Preach, Leader. Your oratory fills my heart and gives me strength in these troubled times.
