We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

As someone who has worked in publishing before becoming an academic James Frey didn't actually go away.

Gonna get a little serious here: this Musk/Trump breakup is poignant in its way because neither man has ever seemed to be able to have a friend (or real family connection either).

I can’t imagine getting out of bed in the morning without a heart full of beloveds.

You guys, I've been driving all day to Boston and I just looked at the internet. You've all been wild without me.

A New Headache for Honest Students: Proving They Didn’t Use A.I.

I think the one thing this article is missing is that accusations of AI use will come for students of color in particular. They are consistently having their intelligence undermined and this is one more tool that will be levied against them.

Am I wrong or does it feel like Jon Stewart isn't up for this moment?

As someone who does not mind embarrassing men, can I suggest the power of simply saying "what the fuck are you talking about?"

Is the Matt Yglesias in the room with us now?

Please democrats do something even if it is performative. Show us that you notice anything close to the reality of the situation.

Democrats:

It really can't be overstated how activists have warned us since the birth of the republic that the racism, sexism, and bigotry at the heart of this nation would destroy it sooner than it's highest ideals would save it, if we didn't throw ourselves into the struggle.

Not the most important thing but the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics are both set to take, in part, in the US. Both are either going to be absolute nightmares for tourists or we're going to have some Munich 1936 Olympics energy.
