I’ve always compared 9/11 reaction to anaphylactic shock: a subject’s allergic reaction so out of control it does potentially fatal damage to itself
I fmcking love the Boston Globe.
Truly bizarre since if memory serves, Klein just wrote a book about how we should not let process getting in the way of doing things that are clearly for the betterment of everyone. Like calling out Charlie Kirk for who he was.
Klein here showing the terminal disease of liberalism which is process above all else. It doesn’t matter what you’re advocating for as long as you follow the rules, you’re on the right side of things.

Sorry already had deleted original to reword more clearly as your reply was coming in. No edit button..
In Trump‘s world, a phantasmic leftist assassin that he can yap about forever is a useful tool. I don’t think he has genuine concern for the safety of other people.
But maybe a strategic win? Is there any upside for trump if the FBI catches the shooter at this point?
Nobody’s talking about there’s no arms! There’s no head!
it’s his idealized woman: all the juicy bits and none of the talk back-y parts and no limbs to fight back with
Not saying it’s a DRAWING of a mannequin, it’s his idealized woman with all the juicy bits and none of the talk back-y parts and no limbs to fight back with
No arms, no head! It’s a mannequin!
I’m just thankful that ‘disable auto play’ is a thing.
My one word: ayuh.
Anyone checked if Hegseth quit drinking?
Great news! No need for a bloated War budget!

Add in The Greatest American Hero you’ve really got something
I’m non observant but married into a family of Bluenitarian Blueniversalists.
Sorry, this is millennial coded start to finish.
We buy speed queen. Very sturdy. American made!
The 17 yo was like huh. Sheila E carried that whole show.
I hear this in Werner Herzog’s voice
‘Calling for a thing to happen’ is the first of perhaps 800 additional steps involved in actually making it happen, and nothing I’ve ever seen from Schumer makes me think he’s about to follow up with any of them.
It’s a pathetic self-defeating thing to announce ‘Trump must XYZ’ when there’s absolutely no chance it’s going to happen. It just reveals you to be a person who can be ignored. Use your power and influence to make something happen, or shut the fmck up.

I’ve been yapping for years in my little corner about we need democrats that have what I call an authentic relationship to power. People comfortable building and using power, not asking others for theirs, not pointing out how it should be used. This guy has it. Voters can read it in a person.
Inskeep: I heard you’re unpopular. Does this invalidate what you’re saying?
@npr.org be like Steve Inskeep: I heard your husband beats you Interviewee: yes. I want him to stop Inskeep: but are there circumstances in which it would be OK for him to beat you? Interviewee: no Inskeep: what if he put on a pair of soft gloves and then beat you? Would that be OK?
I think that article boils down to ‘I prefer the company of nazis over leftists’
Sorry, already stated as fact to in the stay on twitter article.
For a publication named the argument, this is a piss-poor example of one. By its editor, no less!
IMHO he should have gotten to this place in the second week of his first term.
Friend, I heartily encourage you to cowboy up, get yourself a spoon, go at it, and leave the Maine oysters to the rest of us.
I’ve never forgotten the interview I saw with Elon and where he declares he thinks the world is a computer simulation because quantum physics and probability and blah blah blah. Unless he’s recanted, I think it’s literally true he thinks we don’t exist.
Im thinking t-shirt cannon?
Come on, the tie was the tell, wasn’t it?
Buddy, I feel you 1 million times over, and you are not wrong, but we are the grown-ups we’re looking for.
It truly boggles me that Harvard mitherfmcjing University does not believe it has the juice to look the president in the eye and tell him to fuck himself sideways.
if this bitch hides behind its-an-autopen-neener-neener-not-really-my-signature I swear I’ll lose my goddam mind
If you played the French horn you’d be ready for embouchure hour
He clearly meant “(suck my) balls and strikes (at the foundations of the country)”
Once he secured a chief justice seat with his execrable ‘balls and strikes’ pablum, Roberts correctly deduced this country would eat whatever horseshit he cared to feed it. So he’s been doing just that.
Northern Ireland - the UK. Not Ireland. Should read ‘UK stays as ugly as ever”

I think it’s like 60% of white people completely freak out if there’s not a vast raft of black and brown people for them to comfortably float on. And above.
Scanning this, really thought I saw the phrase ‘folding laundry’ in there which really gave me a start cause that’s what I always did when I watched X-Files
I suspect it wasn’t even the mechahitler, it was the ai sex fantasies about her with black men
Old enough to remember him saying, “no one could imagine that healthcare could be this complicated“ and that didn’t get him laughed out of the building right there; this is on us.
If I may, this is called ‘going on holiday’ in places where there’s a humane amount of paid leave extended to their workers. In the US, to get that kind of time off, most folks have to literally withdraw from working, either between jobs or take an unpaid leave. There’s a real difference.
I’m happy to report these are not nearly so much shrimp flavored as they are Worcestershire sauce flavored, and that actually makes for a pretty good potato chip.
Busily workshopping a response that does all six at once…
Achievement unlocked.
I don’t care what the scientists say, 1000% if an orca swims up and offers me a seal that it just killed, I am picking up that seal and saying wicked loud NOM NOM NOM wow this is the best seal I ever had.
Mama kin. Not even close
Buddy of mine runs his blues band on this maxim: one helps, two hurts
I’m laying a marker right now; in 17 billion years, Susan Collins will be “extremely concerned” by the heat death of the universe.
Just asking, when’s the last time a crane fell over New York City?
Guessing that was tricky to get working well in a single image. Much respect
Casting a ballot for a slate you’re super excited about is a thrill. Congratulations
I tell people how much affection I have for RI all the time and always say it’s a real shame they can’t have nice things.
Yes! Also this IIRC this inspired by/referencing the Iranian revolution
Seriously. there were 10 year old kids with wands and capes flocking to the store parking lot at midnight, to be there the moment the next book to go on sale. HP was book selling mania like I’ve never seen before or since.
As a former scrawny teenager routinely mashed to pulp on the lacrosse field, I’ve thought about this a lot. Once you pick at the notion of fairness, the whole construct unravels very quickly.
Excited to watch this. Thanks!
Thanks for this!

I assumed this is not a novel idea, but haven’t known what to call it in order to look for other writings on the notion.
Only skimmed the article so far but will jump in to say my conviction is that consciousness is a fundamental property of matter, and things like agency and self-awareness are emergent properties arising from systemic complexity. Anybody have any further readings on this topic?
Wonderful. I ate a LOT of the rabbit terrine. Do not miss!
Monks cafe if you drink Belgian beers. I ate there often. Great if you like fatty spreads on toast and little pickles.
Signaling his unspoken campaign message - Walz 2028: I Know Where the G-spot Is
Yes; this drives me crazy. The process worked! The president is the presumptive nominee, as always; we all found out that dog won’t hunt; the party forced him out and put up a new one.
Yes, AND.. Maybe tell Dick that when your witness says ‘I don’t know what’s going on in my department’ don’t equivocate and make nice with ‘We agree on a lot of things’ but take that opportunity to stick the knife in and twist.
Can somebody please do a long form podcast about Italy under Berlusconi? Because I feel like that’s a version of what we’re living through here and Italy lost like 20 years of development and progress under that clown.
In the universe of podcasts about our current moment, this is the only one that ever makes me feel better about things
Apparently, one “takes umbrage” in the same way one “takes in some evening air“. Did not know this.
My only adjustment to this excellent technique is to get two glasses, split the beer with a friend, and then open another as required
I saw this movie in a theater outside Dublin, and there was def some muttering in the audience that the Irish caught a few strays on that one
Does one have to believe in Christ in order to believe that Trump is the antichrist? Asking for a friend
I’ve been saying versions of this for weeks, but my sincere hope is they canceled Amber Ruffin because they heard she was gonna skip slagging the president entirely and use her entire appearance to direct a withering hurricane of shame and derision against these spineless courtiers
Scott Pilgrim vs the Pope
The pang of regret when I realize I’ll never be interviewed by Terry Gross is more than tempered by the knowledge that I’ll also never by interviewed by Isaac Chotiner
THEN a skinny pope, obviously..
I too was very ‘uh-oh first a fat pope and a skinny pope’ until I heard that info
The news is telling me he’s personally named 2/3 of the Cardinals forming the voting population that chooses the next one, so I’m actually thinking it might be OK? I sure hope so
Reader, I was STUNNED by this gallery of folding tables..
Moby Dick account continues its weirdly precise commentary on my timeline
Can report based on overheard chatter that the Dublin audience at last nights screening of Sinners thought it was a good movie, but that Ireland caught a couple strays.
VERY interesting watching Sinners in a Dublin movie theater.
I am a huge, huge fan, Warren democrat 2020, I was blessed to be able to vote for her latest senate term, but as feisty and persistent and correct as she is, she’s still appealing to the refs and the system to fix things. It’s not enough anymore.

Calm down everyone let’s not go pretending Harvard is some sort of avatar of courage. This is the institution that cashiered Claudine Gay.
I have been avidly following Roth’s stance through all of this and been crowing ‘hells yeah bitches, THATS the university I left after two years!’ Go Wes!
I’m in Ireland right now and the actual citizens of Dublin are telling me don’t bother with the Chinese food
This is fascinating and useful context! which has been explained/ foregrounded in zero articles I’ve read about this.
