An absolutely essential and clear-eyed skewering of Musk and the fascist ideology powering his toxic politics. Europe would do well to reassess its own hand in allowing such a repulsive man, with such repulsive politics, to flourish unchallenged.

GOP House member--and fmr Trump advance man--allegedly -threw boiling water on his then-wife -held a gun to her head -broke his daughter's collarbone. She's 2 -abused abuse a fmr Trump WHer too When a reporter asked him about it , he threatened to block their # www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...

One thing I don't get about New York State is that this is the second city I've lived in where the more wealthy neighborhoods are in a flood zone and the poorer neighborhoods aren't, relatively speaking, like there exist poor areas in flood zones but East Greenbush & Park Slope like...

Albany is flooding and I'm glad I live halfway up a giant hill

Like a lot of people, I thought we all knew about this a decade ago? And then nothing ever happened and I thought perhaps I was thinking of someone else. But it seems Tumblr has been vindicated once again.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

'Malnutrition fits under famine' is very much a product of modern societies where most of the population isn't a huge class of subsistence farmers. Periods of malnutrition are *normal* for pre-modern peasant farmers, as I noted in my series on peasants.

Ancient Babylonia recorded some prices on clay tablets over time, and you really can see that some years basic food and clothing is 5-15x more expensive

drunk girl trying to tell her friends that she thinks they are “weekend at Bernie’s” with McConnell, but she has got completely the wrong movie and keeps calling it “doing a Fish Called Wanda” with him and I’m dying

ossoff is very clearly building a presidential campaign brand on bringing these people to heel in front of congress, on national television

I'm a lot more confident The New York Times will exist two years from now than I am that 60 Minutes will.

Of course he's praised them, he pays them below minimum wage and threatens them with deportation or worse if they complain.

i think it's important to remember that the purpose of a system is what it does

the issue is really that, and it took the trump era to really internalize this, people’s beliefs only matter as much as their willingness to sacrifice them for something they want more

Maybe MAGA is not suited for governance? The Heritage Foundation saw internal purges, staffers using Signal to figure out what was going on, and spokespersons who attack the media than respond to questions. So, just like how Trump is running our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/m...
