I mean... 🔥💀🔥💀🔥 @davidoatkins.bsky.social washingtonmonthly.com/2026/07/31/t...
A total banger on this subject (which TIL has a name, "climate hushing") from @anatosaurus.bsky.social -- anatosaurus.substack.com/p/dont-make-...
My five-year-old, demonstrating a stronger grasp of world geography than our president
This by @brianphillips.lol on Trump/USMNT is immaculate for many reasons, but my favorite is this use of the phrase "D&D paladin," which I hereby propose as the official, permanent replacement for phrases like "woke scold" and its many, many gendered equivalents. www.theringer.com/2026/07/07/w...
So, uh, My five-year-old drew this picture of an ice cream truck. Yes, she explained, that's a sideways ice cream cone on the top! Mango ice cream!
"the two men managed to botch" "save" the ACA I guess the @nytimes.com felt the need to self-parodically both-sides this to "make up for" exposing John Roberts as a nakedly political actor? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
This @climatebrad.hillheat.com intro 💀💀💀 hillheat.news/p/literally-...
This is what the giant Dear Leader banner of Trump looks like from the inside the Department of Labor. It's the Biggest Brother, the likes of which nobody has ever seen before!
I said "fluctuated" because it's gone down and up, and then down again (chart from here www.gelliottmorris.com/p/public-opi...). Not a coincidence, I think, that the upward creep you see in May followed this from Jeffries/Dems no longer pushing it in May. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-happe...
I read the transcript of this, and OH MY GOD IT REALLY IS THAT BAD. The most ham-fisted both-sidesing I've seen in a while. Not even "both." Constant whataboutism from Chakrabarti (not Lewis!), not even considering the bad faith/chilling effects of "domestic terrorism" smears. Do better, @wbur.org
Spot-on, and horrifying, from @davidoatkins.bsky.social. Trump's tariffs aren't just terrible policy—they're a Mao-like "cultural counter-revolution disguised as industrial policy." washingtonmonthly.com/2025/04/08/t...
"No help until the law breaking stops and Musk’s toadies get their hands off everyone’s money. And if Republicans ignore the demand? Fine. No help. Good luck with your budget and the debt ceiling." That's it. That's the message.
Saw the Pacific Palisades fire before noon pulling up to LAX for our flight back to DC. Wasn't sure at the time if it was smoke or clouds. 😕
In the spring we'll get updated voter files and the Pew validated voter study. Long wait! For now, all we know is, it sure seems like more Latino men than usual/expected voted for Trump. But exits/polling in general are crazy unreliable when it comes to demographic subcategories:
This is sick, @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social . And telling that you apparently felt emboldened to say it on Xitter, but not here. You've earned yourself a block.
I did it! I deleted my tweets and made my #eXit! I'M FREE 🕊️ (Keeping the account to avoid impersonators and just in case the Oligarch of Enshittening is ever toppled.)
This is where JD Vance's ideas about gender lead: to a overgrown manbaby humping a box spring while fantasizing about reading our fertility charts. This is disgusting, and all of polite society should shun this fucking weirdo.
