I saw a pdf of the print layout for a 14,000-word magazine story I wrote, and I'm excited, mortified, going to throw up.

President Trump is explaining the principle of ahimsa in Jainism!

Can you ask the social construct where my keys are?

it's too bad Florida officials are too stupid to realize that crashing out over an Ottessa Moshfegh story is the highest compliment you can pay Ottessa Moshfegh.

My film adaptation of The Odyssey would end with someone saying, "Hey, you know what we should call a really long journey?" Freeze frame, hard cut to credits.

I see what you've done for others, Lord.

The Tate brothers are being held in FDC Miami. Regardless of how you feel about them, the conditions there are widely reported to be awful. Part of the building is being used to hold ICE detainees, and I've heard and read complaints of constant lockdowns, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions.

The ACLU of Southern California found immigration agents on body cam and text chains using terms like "wet" and "tonk" to refer to Latinos: www.aclusocal.org/app/uploads/... huge congrats to Robert Kavanaugh, whose reputation is looking better all the time

The Trojans also broke a ceasefire that would have ended the war, although to be fair, that was due to meddling by the gods. (The gods are the real assholes in the stories, a fact which you lose in the film adaptations.)

The premise of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is that Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor are sweaty and not sleeping together, and it's totally unbearable for everyone around them, including the audience.

I like it when he bullshits about something where I specifically know ball. (These are all screenshots from different articles I wrote back during the Obama administration.)

This week I published a story with a widow talking about how her husband of nearly 30 years died in ICE detention. His autopsy report found that he died of COVID. I posted this story a few times, but if I do one useful thing with my reporting, it's documenting these cases reason.com/2026/07/20/a...

Latest: Florida's wildlife agency used a police database to snoop on activists and critics. The agency vaguely invoked threats against commissioners, but wouldn't tell me if anyone targeted was the subject of a threat investigation, or provide examples of threats reason.com/2026/07/24/f...

There's a reason why there's really strong cultural taboos against perfidy! When conservatives wish for an "accurate," heroic Odysseus, they're just explaining that they don't understand the story at all.

Very funny that OpenAI's Amelia Bedelia model tried to cheat a test by escaping its sandbox and launching a cyberattack against another AI company.
