This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

I'm watching "the booze, bets, and sex that built America" on Netflix and this reenactment of a guy making condoms surrounded by sausage and raw meat is killing me

I forgot to add in the alt text the caption is "Schmid should have no shortage of customers for his condoms" Brb starting my bespoke raw meat condom business to target MAHA weirdos

Saw an old version of an old friend at the village discount and now I'm thinking about my great grandmas 🥹

Today, Elizabeth "Lily" Shambrook was honored with a memorial sign, designating part of Leland Ave by Dover St as "Lily's Greenway".

Idk what I came down with but I slept for 13 hours and woke up feeling like I've been wrestling a monster. Dr Browns and a bath legit just brought me back. Double up on that vitamin c and wash yer hands 🙃

The terra cotta on Lawrence is truly glowing in the sunshine today. Here's the east side of the L. Fish Furniture building

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

I went down to New Orleans to profile Twisted Teens Come for the answers to those pervasive questions online (How do you write three addicting albums in one year? Who even are they and where did they come from?) and stay for the stories of lifelong trainhoppers pitchfork.com/story/twiste...

Many people in writer Rachel Handler’s life felt that something was amiss, that commercial chocolate didn’t taste the way it used to. For our Cover Story, Handler spends several months tumbling down a chocolate vortex to find out why. www.grubstreet.com/article/choc...

Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

Seinfeld having a tantrum because of his amoral beliefs in Chicago is giving me fuel to get through the week tbh god I love this city and the people (mostly)

Planned my morning around a Covid booster and they just told me it's $270 without insurance. I know I can get one through the city it's just that every day is like 5-10 demoralizing things added to the pile lol

So glad I had, when I was younger, years of reading and writing and dreaming and making—before getting on social media. It's wild to me that people's views on literature and creativity are so shaped by discourse online. To the point where you just don't get to develop your own taste.

they call him Snake Eyes for a reason! I love him tsssssssss 🐍
