agree, but I would delete "a veil of respectability for"

Kubrick & George did sue the production company (and authors) of FAIL SAFE. It was part of the eventual settlement that Columbia, Kubrick’s studio, wound up with FAIL SAFE. Which is also why FAIL SAFE was released a year after STRANGELOVE, despite having gone into production earlier.

Rod looks like he photoshopped himself into the pic.

I know “touching the stove” is a meme but apparently you can actually put your face on it

The solo on the Steve Albini mix of “Heart Shaped Box” is way better and it would still have been a hit. Maybe that’s where this timeline went off the rails.

Done. I recommend you do likewise.

Flaming Hydra is a coop. All you can do with your share is sell it back to the coop (for $1), and nobody can have more than one. You have to be ready for growth to take a long time. Journalism is a public trust that should be accountable to readers alone, and that means readers alone pay for it.

Made it.

Sure, but it used to get you a masthead job at the New Republic

I figured this was taken out of context. Nope.

Post you from a different era. OVERNIGHT (2003)

My friend, the late David Yaffe, wrote her biography. bookshop.org/p/books/reck...

May this bitch never know another day of peace in public ever again

Would also put failure to prioritize Northeast Corridor investments; implement any sort of national design guidelines/benchmarks for transit and commuter rail on this list; and dumping the electrification report on the way out the door instead of making it an actual priority.

This is great, and useful. Search for “Gordon Findlay” on here to see who’s cosplaying as a journalist and block them.

For the @theglobeandmail.com, I wrote about the persistent myths and misconceptions surrounding spousal rape, and a novel legal theory that might reframe the way lawyers and judges (and society) counters them.

Time to dust this off again, I guess. [🎁 link] www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...

Few people publish one beautiful memoir, let alone two. Learn from the master!

So . . . assuming I can fly out tomorrow (???), please come see me at the Texas Book Festival on Sunday. texasbookfestival.org/schedule/wit...

Yeah, I think about this a lot.

This is an autoclick.

I need accounts like this to actually link to the story they’re citing. If I have the right link, this strikes me as an overstatement. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Like, he's trying to get the Jewish police commissioner to stay on board. Does that not make you feel safe enough?

I'm sick of being gaslit about "globalize the intifada." I never heard of it before Zohran started running! It's like you're telling me that "Surf Party USA" is anti-Semitic. You know what I knew was anti-Semitic? Throwing up a Nazi salute like Elon Musk www.jta.org/2025/11/05/i...

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

it’s as if these people genuinely have no idea that large numbers of jewish new yorkers enthusiastically supported mamdani

I see CrossFit Eva Braun is reenacting the Glenn Beck Rehabilitation Tour.

DIE MY LOVE As good and committed as Jennifer Lawrence is, there were times I wanted to rescue her from her own movie, to protect her from the fate of Faye Dunaway when “Mommie Dearest” turned another blond Oscar winner into a joke. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

This is an astonishing story. 🎁🔗

Checking in on my favorite sub.

so it turns out that while latino voters aren’t as pro-Dem as they were in 2016 they’re already way less pro-MAGA than they were in 2024

I figured that was a paraphrase and that was naive

Let every AI exec starve.

If you want to be a political operative, be a political operative.

A real reversal of fortune.

I say yes but once, out of exasperation, I gestured to my face and said, "what do *you* think?"

Definitely worth re-sharing this amazing @coreyatad.com story

All of this. Jay Jacobs should be dropped into Manhasset Bay.

ICE has been seizing people in Allston. Boston area folks, spread the word about the LUCE hotline to report ICE sightings. And here's stickers you can print and put up anywhere:

Quoting Andrew’s dad without saying he’s quoting Andrew’s dad is very funny.
