It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

The same guy who was addicted to heroin for 14 years – who works for a guy who has an *ongoing*, decades-long, severe cocaine and Adderall addiction – are both trying to tell you that Acetaminophen is bad for you.

Don't believe them.

Sigh...

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Oh my god his wife is dean of the USC School for Communication and Journalism

“board members have expressed their concerns internally over the optics of holding a free speech event at the home of the man who yanked Kimmel off the air”

Interesting conversations prob going on in that house right now

The journalism inside baseball here is what an amazing hire Carol Leonnig has been for MSNBC (part of the mass exodus from the Washington Post)

Trump on Truth Social: We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan “Leadership” has forced into the United States of America. Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these “Monsters.” GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE! 9/20/25, 11:56 AM

He still thinks political asylum and insane asylums are the same thing and none of the groveling parasites around him are willing to tell him.

His idiocy and the obsequiousness of his advisors may lead to a literal war.

Documents Raise Questions About Fraud Claims Against Fed Governor

Huh! Imagine that!

The world's least surprising news development in this case:

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/b...

Not that I’m on there to get it first hand but it seems like the journalists and pundits who stayed decided there literally is no line, the owner of the site who *every day* proves how fucking terrible he is can apparently do absolutely anything and they will shrug and scoff at the idea of leaving

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave

This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

A modest TV broadcasting proposal:

Brian Kilmeade takes 5 minutes after the weather to interview a homeless person and then administer their lethal injection.
And now your local news-

Violence is at the heart of MAGA to a degree the average person cannot possibly comprehend.

WSJ Editorial Page: Koreans are in a state of furor over the treatment of Korean workers and business executives at a plant in Georgia. And they have every right to be. What happened was indefensible.

Same!

Does America care about these kids? Will tears be shed in Washington D.C. for them? Will people even know their names?

This is a good statement

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Yesssssss

You Really Need to See Epstein’s Birthday Book for Yourself This time, the conspiracy theorists were right.

Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th-birthday book is a sickening document. It’s also a rare look at what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they want, @cwarzel.bsky.social argues.

CBS News Hires Ombudsman From Conservative-Leaning Hudson Institute Kenneth Weinstein, former president and CEO of the Hudson Institute, will monitor the newsroom for bias.

CBS was once called "The Tiffany Network" for its unimpeachable and fearless commitment to the news. It is a disgrace to see the network that once gave us Edward R. Murrow and the glory days of 60 Minutes cower to the corrupt and incompetent. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

A completely full Chicago on Michigan Avenue protesting Donald Trump.

Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.
