A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

CONGRATS, LIONS! YOU WON THE CLOWNBALL GAME!

please please vote before election day, and tell your circles to. Republican mayors and governors are watching this unfold and getting ideas.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

once again: they are flailing, they are desperate, they have no plan, and they are panic-throwing shit against the wall to see if anything sticks that this stuff is scary doesn’t mean we need to grant them the presumption that it will work

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

I gotta admit that one thing I didn't expect to come out of this cycle of political coverage is People Magazine, of all outlets, has been consistently describing what is happening accurately and without trying cover their ass and "maintain balance"

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

They are destroying the administrative state & throwing all of us to the wolves. Doesn't matter if you voted for them or not, MAGA/MAHA are driving us into a chaotic, deadly, pre-20th century wilderness of no aid for states devastated by disasters; no regulation... share.google/0kdXsvm8ER8q...

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

this is the most obvious earned media play possible

YOU HAD HIS EMAILS AS A GEORGE BUSH LAWYER WHERE HE SAID OF ROE THAT THE "COURT CAN ALWAYS OVERRULE ITS PRECEDENT, AND THREE CURRENT JUSTICES ON THE COURT WOULD DO SO."

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

why do we bash "dead beat" children for not being there for their parents but we never question if the parent has bad vibes? or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

Gonna be a muscle man for Halloween. That’s my strong suit.

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

BREAKING: my conservative republican nebraskan dad has seen the tommy/el-sayed video and says he abdul “handled that so intelligently” and now believes “it wouldn’t be a bad thing if he won.”

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

(THR) - TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. .. raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.” @thr.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

Half the grocery store has been recalled. Measles deaths are at a 35-year high. And Susan Collins still doesn’t regret voting to confirm RFK Jr. Vote her out.

lol

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

You may ask "How do they continue to fall for the quarterly "what if we're the baddies" from Rogan"? it's their job to fall for it. They're paid handsomely to fall for this same exact thing over and over again.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

This can happen here. This WILL happen here.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Doing my annual "The Black Tapes" podcast re-listen - at least Season 1. Great premise - "Serial" and "This American Life" crossed with "The X-Files" in exploring the paranormal. But, unfortunately, they went with a full series arc and didn't know how to end it (with an awful cop out).

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?

1) it’s great the times painstakingly attempted to document how much this had grown 2) and also how do you do the article about HOW this is happening without addressing WHY? What CAUSED this uptick? Did you try to figure that out?

if Elon is spending millions of dollars of his own money to push this message with paid media, what do you think he does to the black box algorithm on his platform that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are shown to others?
