Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

Dying in service of the fur industry in 2026 would certainly be a twist. I just assumed it would be for oil or tech grifting.

The fetishisation of "debate" as some sort of grand public good that everyone should do is so thoughtless and jarring to me because the more you actually do it the more it becomes apparent that genuinely constructive debate is actually a pretty niche thing.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

So… Natalie saw her as a threat?

This feels like a text based game in 1986 where pretty much everything leads to getting flattened by that satellite.

And those new allies? Mostly Nazis but

Yall wanna see a puppy with hiccups getting mad

I don’t think a Being John Malkovich sequel would have ever actually worked per se but

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Terrible branding, although “Cocaine Command Center” was probably too on the nose

From the morning walk

As I’ve said before, a lot of modern American Evangelicalism is just a lifestyle brand for right-wing authoritarianism. It has no real core principles; its function is just to ventriloquize whatever otherwise-indefensible view serves power as a command from God.

pitchers and fielders should wear scabbards on their backs where they holster ceremonial bats. oh come on, it’s not all that stupid. they already make the coach wear player clothes and stand around in a special basement. this isn’t any dumber than that

When you realize you’ve lost a song….

I wrote about Dolly Parton in my latest @nytopinion.nytimes.com column. Thank you. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/o...

Every tech bro loves to say things like "I love thinking and talking about the deep topics, the meaning of life and religion and philosophy" while being totally incapable of seeing a genuinely interesting bi-directional cultural production as something that might help understand life

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Visiting the parents, and there’s a jar of batteries.

Wait a damn minute. The things Arday did, like the marathons, had been previously covered, with first hand primary sources, by English news orgs, contemporaneously?!?! And yet the Telegraph and others just kept repeating that he'd lied about them, despite tons of documentation they happened?! 🤬🤬🤬

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Heroin’s having a rough time, but the rest more or less appear to be thriving.

"decent Black academics" blatant code for 'you're not like the rest of them'. The grass has been cut, the snakes have shown themselves. Absolute scum

If you're thinking of starting a novelty account where all you ever do is post stories of various cops getting caught doing one specific crime, pick a crime, any and all crimes, DO IT YOU WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF CONTENT

journalism is just repeating the things various high-level executives say without context, correction, or cues that the speaker might not be a competent or reliable narrator

You can’t go flipping through the chapters when there isn’t even a book.

Crazy thought… up a man lets man mark Messi?

Oh we’re still doing this

Perhaps the genius is trotting out a strategy that, while suspect, does seem most likely to result in someone other than Messi taking a shot

Crazy thought. Put Saka and Bellingham in the same zip code and see if something happens?

Canonically, the running gag is he farmed root vegetables, but the film goes to bizarre lengths to remain vague.

And hit rewind. What can we find?

Pulisic doesn’t need to be pulling a McConnell tonight, yet here we are.

Going to be super cool when the Supreme Court decides the user’s fucked (totally real law reasons) and that the defendant is completely shielded from liability (rv/safari/totally real law reasons).

This is rather good www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/t...

This motherfucker

this is a masterpiece

They’re playing Jesus and Mary Chain at the Gap Outlet.

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.
