That must explain why one never meets or hears from the "injection injured"!

Earn my vote" is shorthand for "I can't be bothered to keep fascists out of office if I don't like the alternative enough." See also "I won't be blackmailed by the Supreme Court."

The extent to which the experience of Covid drove the Very Smart Boys of the American media class bugfuck insane cannot be overstated. Their brains were boiled down to a smooth goo by having to stay at home with families they hate instead of sexually harassing interns at the office all day.

If only Biden had given Trump personal credit for the success of the COVID vaccine, none of this would be happening! /s

Jamelle asks the question that, in retrospect, is the obvious and pressing one: why do we tolerate this? And it’s clearly not because we need his cars or even his rockets, which makes any plausible answer all the more disturbing.

The John Birch Society (whose heirs are essentially in charge of all three branches of the federal government at the moment) certainly did.

Or Roger Ebert's review of NORTH. Or Greil Marcus's (initial) review of Bob Dylan's SELF PORTRAIT.

The Douthat to 60 Minutes news is so darkly hilarious because Bari Weiss' whole origin story thing was that the Times was hopelessly woke and suppressing her. Meanwhile, when she got the chance to make an outlet in her own ideological image, she went straight to the Times opinion page.

It‘s quite possible that with this move, @harvard.edu could become the only Ivy League university without a writing center. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

They're screaming the quiet part out loud. A Trump regime scheme to shift a whopping $200 billion into AI projects and away from traditional university research isn't just because it wants smarter computers American fascism also requires dumber people My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

mildly funny that X is having blazing rows about Nolan’s Odyssey because he cast black people in it and Bluesky is having blazing rows about whether a noted Homeric translator’s LRB review of it misses the point or not

Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:

It didn't happen, and it couldn't happen. Elon Musk did not steal the 2024 election in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump. No part of any voting system used in Pennsylvania is ever connected to or permitted on an internet-facing network. www.pa.gov/agencies/vot...

Similarly, Hitler's Thousand Year Reich lasted twelve years. It took a World War to oust him. Tyrannical regimes rarely last long. But we've barely started this one. And they frequently do huge damage before they're shuffled off stage.

The iconic scene from the 1925 Soviet film The Battleship Potemkin, where he goes "It's potemkin' time!" and then potemks all over those stairs

This _is_ special. It's not often one encounters "some of my best friends are [name of ethnic group I'm saying very racist things about]" in the wild anymore, in part because it's such a clichéd thing for a racist to say that even most racists avoid it these days.

"'There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible' raves Emily Wilson!"

The sad thing is that, when I saw the original skeet, I thought "this is probably the Times of London, but I better check, because, these days, it could be the NY Times."

Elon Musk is calling for the execution of the Economist editor who interviewed him. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

US decline is real and self-inflicted, but measuring national decline by amount of military materiel is like measuring national economic success by looking at the Dow.
