This is a chilling hate rally. And, just in case you think this doesn't matter to you, the President of the United States is also mocking the idea of Constitutional liberties.

Maybe it makes me a credentialist, but I hate how we constantly elevate guys like Yglesias — who have no relevant education or work experience. In politics, he's never run for office, worked on a campaign or served as an appointee. On policy, he has a BA and has never worked in government.

The more I read about it, the more disgusted I get--and I was already disgusted. They're morally corrupt, soulless individuals and I don't believe a word coming out of their mouths. They have no business being in charge of ANYTHING.

Since J. K. Rowling is back again to remind us what a huge piece of shit bigot she is, I am re-sharing my post with a short list of books that are better than Harry Potter. Please feel free to add your own suggestions to the list. Also, as a reminder... Do NOT watch the new Harry Potter show.

Abdul El-Sayed on JD Vance: "I think America is big enough for all of us. His view of America is small like him. It's about pointing to other people and making the argument that the reason *you* don't have is because of *them.*" El-Sayed came on our pod. It's good: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

It’s telling that the cut-off parents in these sob stories are almost always cut off by daughters—we socialize women not just to absorb abuse, but to misinterpret abuse as bids for care. Meanwhile men are socially expected to distance themselves from their natal families anyway.

Why 👏 aren't the journalists 👏 who relentlessly questioned every 👏👏 minor Biden health issue 👏 asking 👏👏 about this 👏👏 daily?

RFK is personally responsible for a measles outbreak killing American kids. Stephen Miller has killed more undocumented people than we will know until his tribunal. Pete Hegseth is nerfing anyone in a skiff within 95 miles of Cuba. They get away with it because they are committed to the performance.

What in the fucking world

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

“a comment criticized as homophobic” this monstrous bigot could goosestep around in a full hitler costume and the nyt would write “some say” he’s a nazi

I left x despite having a large following bc I don’t want to make free content for the world’s wealthiest racist. It’s not worth it to me.

New traffic pattern alert - Starting on Thursday, October 15, Mossland Street will be closed to motor vehicles at its intersection with Elm Street. Mossland Street will become a two-way dead-end street with access for residents and visitors via Somerville Avenue.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Holy cheese on crackers there are a million ways to expand your reading / watching / listening rather than reinscribing the actual material harm done to trans people by this woman's wealth. THERE ARE SO MANY INCREDIBLE THINGS OUT THERE WORTHY OF YOUR PATRONAGE AND TIME. WATCH THEM.

Thanks Gavin Newsom!!!

All Chip City locations have been told they're shutting down immediately so now is a great time to read Courtney's piece on private equity's influence and investment in the cookie business on @weareravenous.com www.weareravenous.com/the-curious-...

I try not to dip into comments sections anymore but every now and then, you do and find a gem: Resentment is the defining characteristic of the mediocre white man. For context, this was on that ridiculous petty brett stephens op-ed about book prizes.

We call this a concentration camp, your honor.

My partner two floors down messaged me to ask why I'm laughing so hard.

it's JD's first day at standing school (Kent Nishimura/Pool via Getty)

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

I can only assume there will be a completely delusional declaration of victory in Iran shortly before Election Day.

Reading this and am baffled that people bring food from other places into a coffee shop.

Respect the laptop policy, bro.

if donald trump stole the constitution from the national archives and torched it on the white house lawn those two would say that clearly the president has the authority to do so

I have been very much enjoying what's going on with @weareravenous.com! We need more excellent food writing.

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.

ok but at least that trans kid cant play jv volleyball with her friends anymore

Largest Republican donor (by far): we should have a race war against non-whites. Corporate Media: Democrats really need to answer some hard questions about this Twitch streamer almost no one has ever heard of.

Where are all the books on the current president's mental decline?

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?
