Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s brother, John, told Italian media that the pope helped him file his tax return and, over a video call, got him back into a computer he had locked himself out of. Prevost propped his iPad on the dead machine and asked his brother what to do. “Because I’m computer illiterate.”

I mean.... do people know that Bob Kraft is an AIPAC megadonor, raises funds for the IDF, and has even set up the organization Touchdown for Israel, where NFL players are given free, highly conscripted trips to see “the holy land"? Suffice it to say, the West Bank and Gaza are not on the tour.

Turns out the person who demanded that Macklemore be removed was Patriots owner Bob Kraft under threat that he would cancel their tour stop at the Patriots stadium. Oligarchal pressure stomping the first amendment. Also Ed Sheeran is a fucking coward. Writing about all this now.

Cancel culture for those who say “Free Palestine.” Free Palestine. Free Macklemore. variety.com/2026/music/n...

"The oligarch, Umar Kremlev, spent hundreds of thousands on expenses like renting out a private island. He appears to have met Trump Jr. only recently, but he attended the intimate wedding with a large group of other Russian guests."

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Wolfers: For nine out of the last 10 presidencies, if you’d said, “How much should we blame the president for what’s going on with the economy right now?” I would have said that the president is just one factor among many. That’s what I would have said nine out of 10 times. This is the 10th time.

JD Vance flat out lies to Ross Douthat by claiming that Trump's MOU includes an agreement to destroy Iran's nuclear materials (this in fact is not in the deal)

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Amazing. A family of fraudsters. Eric Trump is trying to make money off UFC fights, assuming they were rigged. Cormer has since deleted the posts.

I’m still furious that the officer who shot Renee Good has not faced justice

Niall Stanage@niallstanage.bsky.social

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Kushner’s comments appear to frame normalization with Israel not as a principled diplomatic breakthrough, but as a gateway to private capital, political favor, and economic inducements.
