Oh stop it, both the media for this idiotic reductive narrative and Dem centrists for being such astonishing wimps. The voters of NYC — especially young ones — made their clear choice, so either move along or go sit down. You win nothing by being cautious and scared www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
What in the name of Miss Marple? Tuppence a drunk and needy mother? Tommy able to breathe without her? No.

I put this on pause when I was in the heat of Prefontaine research, but I'm happy to bring the audio magazine back for Issue 4: Codes. Read the guidelines, and send me your best! I pay $$$ to those who get published, from the O'Meara Grant. Yeah! brendanomeara.com/call-for-sub...
Guilters gonna guilt.
Me, too, sister. Speaking of the screaming.
Meanwhile in the U.S.
Prob nobody on staff is middleclass.
ICE arrests 2 firefighters in Olympic National Park, because ... well, nobody knows. Why was ICE anywhere near the forest fires? What a country we're living in. www.king5.com/article/news...
Thanks, People, for quoting my book (Murder in Italy) in this well-sleuthed article about the Amanda Knox case. This is the central mystery: If Rudy Guede was convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher early on, why'd it take 8 years to exonerate Knox and Sollecito? people.com/who-killed-m...
What a snowflake
My husband, brother and I all loved the book, which I saw by chance at Elliott Bay Books in Seattle--and gifted them.We are all big Pre fans. They've run Pre's traiI. I got my MA at UO. Great memories.
Can't wait to see Keira Knightley in this murder mytery. Travel writer stuck on yacht with the rich. Been there! www.msn.com/en-us/movies...
Death by boyfriend. Another femmicide in Italy.
Love this idea.
Say it ain’t so.
I love Front Runner, the new Steve Prefontaine bio. Here’s how Brendan O’Meara put it together.
“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.” - Jack Kerouac
Author Sally Rooney, a danger to UK? C’mon.
Omg l can vouch for this. Met up with Rick a couple of years ago to show him around Sevilla and we ended up going to SIXTEEN TAPAS BARS in one evening 😅
I cherish the thought that they are freezing every winter. Brrrr
Having written Murder in Italy, about the Amanda Knox injustive, it's lovely to see her story given credence in a British publication. First time for everything.
Don’t let the bad guys win.
An enchanting story about a quickly made, addictive French custard of ancient origin
What?
Hmmm.
Meaning Seattle will feel like Kona for a few days. I’ll take it.
A silhouetted figure gazing across the water contributes to the beauty of this work by Edward Potthast. (c1925) Although he fell under the influence of the French Impressionists, the effect of the reflection of the sunset breaking across the water is rare in his work.
Skunk hair is your dream. No, girl.
Heartbreak in blue states. ICE smashes windows of Guatemalean berry pickers in Oregon. “swarmed the van and ultimately detained four workers–three men and one woman–while releasing two other women and a teenage girl.” www.koin.com/news/oregon/...
Swat is one of many euphemisms for beating. It’s all horrible.
She is still an awful abusive woman. Spanking is beating.
Hands also inflict great pain, especially when you use 2 hands. The longer you are beaten the more it hurts because your skin is inflamed. Like pounding a burn. It is all wrong and scary.
anyway, never fucking hit your kids. don't hit your kids. "spanking" is a euphemism for hitting your kids (cf swat, pop, potch) and just don't do it. all you will ever teach them is not to trust and to mingle pain with love. every strike teaches them to hide and lie.
Classic passive aggressive behavior. Start out passive, become aggressive.
Whatever happened to states rights?
Noooooo. We’re already having a bad year.
I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
✨It’s literally climate change✨
Amen

I hate the photo too. It's like Census people are ICE in nice clothes. What the hell, NYT?
Trump cuts off fed funds for Idaho libraries in Idaho and elsewhere, claiming free access programs are racist and illegal because might help "racial minorities." I'm not kidding. www.ktvb.com/article/news...

Thank you. And welcome to your family. We are all children of immigrants.
Thank goodness we’re getting rid of FEMA.
it is exhausting to live in a world where the news is like “the most soup-brained freakazoid in existence has a completely batshit plan that would send even Wile E. Coyote back to the drawing board. experts say exactly what you, a non-expert who just has some common sense, expect they would say”
Contractors will also replace FEMA.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.
Charlotte Bronte wrote all about these people.

Duffy and Trump and Elon, that’s where it celebrity crushes do great harm. Taylor is in lifting for many.
If politicians truly support/oppose something, they do so loudly and publicly. Because public platforms are one of the major powers they have. If they don't, but want to take the pressure off, they leak to compliant media how much they're doing just out of sight. I've seen it *a lot* over 20 years
Sometimes it’s permissible to hate.

A few thoughts from me on what happens next. Let’s go.
Alaska is very dependent on government services. Good luck with that!
The wedding was just one weekend, in summer no less. And what’s wrong with being 5’ 10”? Not an Orlando fan, but Katy is her own boss. Lots of people work harder than her. And that space thing! Ugh.
Or people from countries other than their own. Latinos are not all the same
Even in Idaho, the public was appalled.
Let me guess. It’s all guys.
If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
Shameless: "Bureau of Land Management lands within five miles of a population center should be sold en masse, Lee wrote. Sold under the pretext of addressing affordable housing needs." www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
There's always that one person. Most people understand and appreciate you.
She is okay with Hegsteph from FOX as Secretary of Defense.

Was the big age difference ever ever addressed? Dakota 35. Pedro. 50. These things matter in real life.
If you missed it...
I know that this is going to be lost in the roar of big players but there are other clinics with a majority of patients who are Medicaid recipients - and this ruling opens up the avenue for states to refuse to allow us to be approved providers of care. And we have far fewer resources to weather it.
So close to tipping 4 minute mark for women. www.independent.co.uk/sport/genera...

Somebody has to say it.
Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin
Well, this sucks for Seattle
Why was this ever an option for him?
Please God. Let this be true.
The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.
This is how you write a headline. Attention @nytimes.com
Here’s why the law was needed. One example. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbn...
Sorry you lost your uncle. Glad you’ll be with family in a beautiful place

The exhibition “Caravaggio 2025” at Palazzo Barberini, one of the two seats of the Galleria Nazionale di Roma, is particularly personal — “particularly” because Caravaggio’s art has the ability to draw his audience in, to create what feels like an intensely intimate experience for each viewer.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
None of these people can answer questions without imploding. It’s a strategy.
What could he be charged with? ICE didn’t say.
Disaster prevention for podcast guests, especially you dog owners.
Religion is a very likely culprit, He didn't target women by accident.
What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Authors pay for book photos--or shoot the photos. We don't get to pick book covers. Advances are low and often the only $ we see. We mostly fund our own book tours. Publishers pay stores to place certain books in prominent places.
Terrifying.
what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word
I love this! Have never. been there in April. Gorgeous.
