No, it isn't.

48 years. That's how long trans women have been eligible to compete in tennis.

For years I've been meaning to write something about how the original sin of economics was defining utility in $ values, because it makes people think that everything can and should be financialized and it's all equal in the end.

Ok BlueSky. Imagine Issac Chotiner filmed his interviews and posted them to YouTube. That is what Pablo Torre does.

Sick and looking for something to watch between sleep and just found that Sean Combs: The Reckoning dropped. I hope it is everything I want it to be.

Lol. Yes Politico. If not for his personnel issues, his second term would be without blemishes.

Christine McVie is the thru line for Fleetwood Mac. Most of their hits were hers. Her songs from the pre 1975 band have been largely forgotten and that ain't right. Stevie was right to declare Fleetwood Mac dead when Christine passed. This is one of her best. youtu.be/ErBLC4GxgRs?...

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power. Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

More is more. We’ve got 380 (or so) of our favorite new books, right here:

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

What we’re seeing is a repeated and increasingly explicit offer of white reconciliation over a shared commitment to preserving white supremacy.

Watching “Thoughts and Prayers,” an HBO Max documentary about the school shooting preparedness industry, and I can’t help feeling like forcing children to do drills reenacting shootings is fucking child abuse.

Trump is literally a Trump/Mamdani voter.

Are we sure that Trump knows that Mamdani and MBS are not related?

Torre is wrecking all other media. He gives a shit and is on a mission to expose how the sports industry revolves around politics and billionaires and not athletic competition.

I was not prepared for this moment either.

Incredible stuff happening over at DHS, which is...talking to tech platforms ab deepfakes & disinfo? 👀 👀 Matt Taibbi hasn't yet spoken. Neither has Shellenberger. Mike Benz is posting about "The BBC, The CIA & The Marshall Plan Of The Mind". www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/3...

shoot the entire internet into the sun, let's go back to writing letters and reading printed newspapers

It was reported years ago all these men had relationships with Epstein. But now suddenly people are surprised and want accountability? I predict that all these men are simply being inconvenienced right now and will suffer no long term consequences, just like every time before.

Have the Democratic Party, the Center for American Progress, and the architects of Project 2029 disavowed Larry Summers? He's advising all of them and is a major liberal power player. He was also used by the Dem establishment to attack Mamdani. If they have, great; if not, why not?

Tim Cook at tonight's Saudi dinner at the White House

she chased a school shooting survivor through the streets of DC while calling him a crisis actor. anyone stanning MTG is a devil

Hahahaha. Thune hates him so much.

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

Normalize arresting federal agents on state charges.

MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked

Net worth of DNC presidential contenders: Shapiro: Unknown from public records Beshear: $3M-$5M Pritzker: $4B Newsom: $20M-$30M

@proleftpodcast.bsky.social It would be cool if you folks did a segment on No Fair Remembering about the history of activist clergy. Most people only know a few stories during the civil rights era. bsky.app/profile/revd...

Less than 2% US imported beef comes from Argentina. Specifically, we are importing lean trimmings (pink slime). Trump removing tariffs will have 0 impact on beef prices. He's just throwing a smoke screen and the angry guys on TikTok are just looking for attention.

Glad driftglass is still out there doing the work. Tim Miller and his ilk have never understood "normies". That's why they were pushed out of the Republican party. They did not leave voluntarily.

Legacy media are just PR firms for the White House. The 4 countries cited in the EO export very little beef to the US. Argentina mostly sends trimmings. Removing tariffs for these countries will not lower prices. You would not know that from articles like this. apnews.com/article/trum...

By turning it into a cultural issue rather than a material one with only one cogent side

I highly recommend Stories Are Weapons by Annalee Newitz. bsky.app/profile/anna... Interesting and a propulsive read. One quibble is that there are too many books cited and now I have to read them all. Shout-out to Village Books in Bellingham for their Misinformation display. This is a banger.

The Caving 10: We demanded Republicans fund SNAP through 2026 and we were successful Trump: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Appealing to Republican voters is a losing proposition for Dems and always has been. They need to appeal to the people deciding whether to vote or not in any given election.

I’m back. substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

This is a bad article. Many Influencers are leaving MAGA and rebranding as America First. MAGA world is in turmoil right now because Trump's antics do betray the MAGA movement. There is a reason MTG has changed her messaging. MAGA is mutating. Not for the better, but many are done with Trump.

Noah Feldman's op-ed in Bloomberg posits that "other gay rights also appear relatively safe" because SCOTUS declined to hear that Kim Davis petition. Coincidentally, he does not acknowledge the multiple anti-LGBTQ+ rulings in favor of Christian Nationalists over the last few years. So unserious.

Well...I certainly didn't expect Booker to be the first Senator to call for a change of leadership.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

It's been pretty funny to see folks on the left who couldn't understand why the right was so obsessed with the Epstein files are now at the peg board with the red string, hair standing on end, waving their hands.

also trump, epstein, dershowitiz and how many others were considered assets by nyt. it took miami daily herald to break the epstein story, nydn to really cover giuliani, albany times-union to break the cumo story, etc. in each case, nyt actively worked to protect key assets.
