SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

I'm (very) late to this party but I cannot recommend Blight's Douglass biography highly enough

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Cardinal Parolin on plans to livestream execution; “It is truly incomprehensible that anyone would want to use this method in this day and age. I do not know for what purpose. It is certainly unacceptable to turn death into a spectacle. However guilty the person may be, there are other ways.”

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

This mans' imagination is next level

Wrote it with Rob Smigel. And yes, it was pulled from reruns.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

If there is any single person who bears responsibility for the Iran war and its calamitous consequences -- aside from Donald Trump -- it is his son-in-law and diplomat plenipotentiary, Jared Kushner. Bumbling but conceited, ill-informed but haughty, (cont.) 🧵 www.msn.com/en-ca/politi...?

Every word on Trump in this is bang on the money. Wake up Democrats & fight for truth, decency & standing for the working classes against the billionaire gangster class. And don't get obsessed with rules & procedures as a replacement for what you stand for as you have done. @walshfreedom.bsky.social

Powerful message: "You do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate," he said. "I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them."
