This dude is a genius.
Right they are super good at orderly handoffs
I just read the Writer's Diary for all the good parts!
Only Believe the Experts You Want To
California and Florida are on opposite ends of the school-closure spectrum and the differences in test scores are a wash. Some individual schools and districts definitely stayed closed too long but it just isn’t the case that this is some huge, obvious, foreseeable blunder.

Yep we murder the language no question

If The Bulwark is the revolution we're in trouble
Portland Maine is very liberal so I'm not actually sure why this is good news, since the Bulwark leans very right, even though anti-Trump
lol no. The Bulwark is never-trumper Republicans.
I do it in my instant pot constantly. I save veggie peelings and ends and stuff in the freezer and add those with a couple of garlic cloves and some peppercorns and a bay leaf. And I add time to the setting
Unfortunately I don't remember any of mine but two family expressions are courtesy of my daughter: fracas, pronounced "fra-cah" (she thought maybe it was French) and, my favorite, dubois, not as in Blanche but as in "I am very dubois about Cuomo's moral core"
HEY hey hey
And what is it when the state demands a stake in private companies? The call is coming from inside the house?
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign,” Senator Bernie Sanders writes in a guest essay.
But at the same party Annie Dillard held my 4 m.o. daughter and cooed and sprinkled her magic on her. I asked AD when I would ever quit worrying about my baby and she said, oh, when she's old enough to make herself a sandwich 🥹
Famous author at a party who came up to me and said, I hear you're an actress!! and I said, really I'm a writer and her face fell and she walked away
Ok NOW I GET IT
Thank you
I want to know if he's as universally reviled on the right though. Is he?
I don't believe this, and even if true it's very bad news bc Vance is saner and thus worse
I did not know Woody from Toy Story was packing so much heat
Also, you know what you do when someone politely points out you were mistaken? You say whoops and move on
Depression??! Ding ding ding, said I, along with the rest of America
New York Pitchbot has attained its final form
Extremely disappointed in a prominent journalist I admired. Oh well
The tweet made it sound like it was a bad review. It wasn't. I don't care either way and do not care for Liz Gilbert's whole thing. The review is great reading btw Tolentino always is
I don't have "fealty." I said I didn't. Not sure how a journalist of your caliber gets away with this.
You said they didn't protest. That's not true. Blame all the people who didn't listen to the people who know him and confirmed him anyway. Jfc
Caroline did an entire video. Sure, someone else might have been more dramatic, but it was an extraordinary move for her personally. (Not a Kennedy stan I just like clarity) youtu.be/VFw24zVO_3E?...
The review is a positive one, basically
subskeeting
I'm not a big Liz fan, but pulling one quote out of a long piece, followed by uproarious pearl-clutching, is so very tiresome. Yet ubiquitous!
Oh no.
That already didn't work. Come on.
Maybe "apoplectic" would work
We don't think they're basics. They're sOcIALiSm And I swear also something about the Puritanical origins of our country means we're literally not allowed to have nice things. Hardship is more Godly.
I feel that ascribing anything like an inner life to DJT is just fooling yourself. We never learn
Martha needs to get on this
It will be appealing if you're an unemployed sadist.
I was waiting for someone to shout it!
Boston will not back down from who we are and what we stand for.
Oh come ON. Ugh. I grew up with War Between the States "states' rights" bs and I was naive enough to think people read more history now
This will be good for lowering crime rate 💯
But you're not one of those apparently! To be clear!
(Which incidentally is why I responded to your tweet to begin with – I have also seen a lot of "smart" "lefties" who take things at face value and have no idea about irony, double entendre, etc)
That's one of the awful things to realize --how gullible so many "smart" people have turned out to be.
(Guardian) - Household electricity bills have increased by 10% since Donald Trump re-entered the White House, a new report has found, with its authors highlighting the impact of the president’s datacenter boosterism .. as part of the cause. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Well damn.
That's already happening which is sad for the muffin top demo
Thank you. I appreciate your responses! And again disappointing about someone I had vaguely positive impressions of.
Better. Thanks
Okay, thank you, that is reasonable, and disappointing
I'm vaguely familiar w Stoller but mainly it's that if he wrote his tweets with irony and you pretend it isn't there with your "straightforward interpretation," that's either stupid or in really bad faith. It's a bfd to call someone a Trumper racist so maybe include more context
A vote for Cuomo seems to rather literally be a vote for Trump
Also btw I have no dog in this hunt, I'm just bothered by flimsy accusations in general
Are you serious here? I am seeing no proof in either of those tweets
I read that Stoller post and it certainly sounds tongue in cheek to me, so I'm not sure you guys have a case, at least about this
What I want to know is WHY IS SHE ALL ALONE IN THERE
It's "uncharted waters," not "unchartered," unless you're a fishing boat business looking to expand your market
Oh I love them! Also it's "row to hoe," not "road to hoe" And "hear, hear!" not "here, here!" And you pore over the pages, not pour
Appropriately, it looks like AI
WOW. ordering now!! Thanks for the tip.
I can't even laugh. A bunch of those hats say 2028. He's putting the leaders of the world on notice.
Under totalitarianism, Nazi and Soviet, there can be no organizations other than the state. Even little biking clubs were banned under Stalin. Tractor sharing farmer co-ops under Hitler. This is a good reminder that our little organizations, meetup groups etc are a resistance to authoritarianism.
Jewish people constituted 0.75% of the German population in 1933.
Thank you. Keep this up. The gloves need to stay off.
FEWER hours dammit But yes!
I wish books like this could be reissued, just because!
I am convinced that the first female president will be an R, and that kills me
I love this, EXCEPT. Susie Wiles. Noem. Bondi. Karoline Leavitt. So, not sure it holds water--as long as women are white obvs
Yes that sucks. I'm sorry. You are first class, we all are
Hello check the original skeet
The circular firing squad is so predictable
Blue states: we're gonna redistrict to get even bluer! Massachusetts: that's cute
Trump sends armed ICE agents to taunt Gov Newsom. If you don't see the parallels between Trump's ICE and Hitler's brownshirts you simply don't know history. We need Democratic AGs to begin arresting ICE agents. They might have degree of immunity but let them prove that in court.

I hate that Gavin Christopher Newsom might end up making me go to the other place to read these posts
Oh dear Lord.

When we have the US military being used to police US citizens within the US, I think it’s safe to say we are living within an authoritarian and, in this case, fascist state. No more “approaching.” No more “resembles.” This is it. It might not be in its fullest form yet, but this is it.
Dude needs to look up definition of "refute"
this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target
Yes, that is the point.
Leftists did not kill USAID. I have a strong feeling you're an Epoch Times style Chinese account
Wow this thread is chock full of Russian operatives smearing Bernie for being a *checks notes* Russian operative
Oh blockity block block
He is most assuredly not an atheist. He is not actively religious however.
