Ken Burns made a documentary about Americans who declared "No kings!" and rose up against the military occupation of their cities. What could possibly be polarizing about that? [giftie] www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/a...

Absolutely bizarre that these people willingly chose to pass up the pleasures of being rich in Kokomo, Indiana

This is so awesome. Hats off to these kids for brilliant perception of a market gap and a way to serve the public, teaching themselves to fix it, and even a great brand. I wish more adults in Silicon Valley were focused on these kinds of challenges

Bananas. Entirely predictable given how Trump drooled over Duterte’s extrajudicial “drug control” killings, but still really bad

If I was a billionaire I wouldn’t use my wealth to create a Secret Crime Island. I would make a duel-themed restaurant called Swashbucklers where the waiters swordfight each other during your meal

Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

I had to look up whether he’s the Nazi streak guy or the Nazi boat guy. It’s the Nazi streak guy

“Night flight to San Francisco; chase the moon across America …Nothing’s lost forever. In this world, there’s a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we’ve left behind, and dreaming ahead. At least I think that’s so.” — Tony Kushner with an assist from the amazing night sky last night omw home.

It’s a shame about the headline and social framing, because this is vital reporting that will make you gasp in horror for this kid and leaves no doubt about which party was responsible

Did they call up Bill Barr for headline suggestions

AMAZEBALLS! #aurora

Right, everyone predicted he would need to order a military action today to distract from the Epstein emails. The “Department of War” is delivering

democrats love all their moderate, progressive, and top-of-the-distribution leaders <3 they can all live in harmony together under a big diverse tent if they restore regional party identities and stop the circular firing squad on nationalized media <3

Jesus Christ: "Ultimately, between the money she made from her interactions with men and in the food services industry she was able to save up enough money to get braces." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Not now, mutated flu strain

Is Transaurus, the popular crime-fighting robot dinosaur, the mascot the trans community needs?!

These are just disgusting people. Big kudos to this girl (now woman) allegedly trafficked to Matt Gaetz, by a friend of his who sometimes paid for sex on his government credit card. Her story is horrific and she sounds brave and tough as nails to be sharing it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

They’re literally the kid copying off the test of the kid in front of them who knows how to write a normal email. That is how LLMs work

What’s it like to be going to hell at such a young age

Gotta make time

Jesus. This was years after Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution. I didn’t realize a book recommendation could be depraved, but this is.

Local experts taking advantage of the ceasefire to survey the massive damage to cultural and historical sites in Gaza. So much is gone: “Avant la guerre, le Palais du Pacha abritait plus de 17.000 artefacts, mais malheureusement, ils ont tous disparu après l'invasion de la vieille ville de Gaza."

Great cover

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Guy next to me at the coffee shop is reading Proust in Spanish. Is this the performative reading I’ve been hearing so much about

Last year was such a great snow year. Kids are aggressively campaigning for more and will be unimpressed by this forecast

Cartoonists are insane — this is a totally recognizable portrait and sharp comment with like three lines

A remarkable accomplishment and such a sad end. Feeling for his wife and kids.

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

Finally rewarded for schlepping all the way to Montrose on an aurora night (10s exposures on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, no color edits)

a lot of people regretting the 'this shoulda been an email' advice rn lol

These are not delicious people. Next idea, pls

People don’t always follow politics (and who can blame them), but they understand stuff like “nothing to eat now,” “the president is bulldozing the White House,” “the president is hiding stuff about his relationship to America’s most notorious child sex trafficker”

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

There are a lot of good guys in the world. Then there’s this crew

You want to take acetaminophen AND ibuprofen? What else, buddy? Naproxen sodium? Aspirin? Want to branch out and grab amoxicillin? Neosporin? Statins?

can't overemphasize how cynical this is. he could have switched his vote anytime over the past months and made an actual difference; instead he waited till the exact moment he became irrelevant.

JD Vance in 2021: "What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…"

Mike Johnson has sworn in Adelita Grijalva, ending the 50 day standoff that left her unable to represent 800K Arizonans in DC amid the shutdown. Standing ovations from Dems, empty GOP seats - what it was like in the chamber & what it means for Epstein files: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m telling you, the firing/kidnapping/starving/grounding thing was not as popular as it seemed. At least now he can pivot to blocking evidence of whether he’s a pedophile

That’s what I’d say too if I were the White House and today’s news cycle was today’s

Hmm

Oh yes

I don’t know what he did, but if he is confident that everything in there looks fine for him this behavior doesn’t make sense

Trump trying to create a run on the bronze-cut good stuff

For some reason I bought 10 lbs of good quality pasta yesterday www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Truly very useful
