RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Richard Hanania's primary idea as a thinker is to flatter whoever holds power. Right now, that’s liberals--given the profound backlash against MAGA. Letting him in means admitting liberalism has room for someone who talks like an unreconstructed fascist.

Posting Through It went on I Hate Bill Maher to talk about chip flavors and something called “Muslim Week.” We recorded it last month only thing I remember about this appearance is that I was laughing a lot.

New I Hate Bill Maher w/ @michaelehayden.bsky.social and @jaredlholt.bsky.social We talked about Real Time s23e35 aka last season's finale, an episode that sent my guests on a journey from confusion to outright disgust. Will be thinking about "Muslim week" for a while. pod.link/1746469734/e...

I’ve been waiting for @michaelehayden.bsky.social and @jaredlholt.bsky.social to come on the pod! I’ve been thinking of the phrase “this is the least funny, most ass licking comedy bit I have ever heard in my life” every single day and that accurately describes Bill Maher’s “comedy.”

It's PTI day in our house, blasting this right after I finish new 'I Hate Bill Maher' episode

The riots in France give us a window into how MAGA will respond if/when it happens here. They’re building a Voltron enemy based on Antifa, non-white immigrants and Muslims and using AI to hold the narrative together. New PTI creamium: www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

Coinbase, where Democratic strategist and former Harris and Obama advisor David Plouffe is a advisory council member, gave $5 million to Trump's ballroom.

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

Donors of $333 million to the ballroom include "contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member." From @washingtonpost.com wapo.st/4yiUDPx

If you enjoyed our "Who the Hell is Michael Tracey?" episode, you will enjoy this *Why the Hell is Michael Tracey Doing This* sequel. Plus: Halloween comes early in the form of Josh Lisec's "Dad Chat" audio. It's a spooky one--with Bob--that you might not want to play before bed! 😱
