How I Became A Target For Right-Wing Freaks At The Australian Open | Defector Before I went to Melbourne in January to cover the Australian Open for Defector and a couple other publications, I spent some time in New Zealand with my family. We lived there for five years when I w...

Canonically this is the setting for that sketch

Tweet from Daniel Pipes: "The uprising in Iran in early January suggested an even greater insurgency would then follow on the U.S.-Israeli campaign to erode regime power. Yet, the populace now appears cowed into near-silence. This ranks as the most surprising and disappointing development of the past week. Without a new uprising, the regime will likely remain in power, less powerful but more awful than ever. (The picture below is from Jan. 10 in Tehran.)"

Amazing how quickly "We're fighting this war for freedom of the Iranian people" becomes "The Iranian people are at fault for not rising up."

Oh very much so

This is something I did not know about

A loading door in Long Island City, Queens that has "fright elebator" written on it

/in a The Cryptkeeper voice

when the edible hits and you try to play it cool

This really is the energy of it.

Incredible Trump locutions here. "They got a little bit surprised and were owned, our brave men. They got owned severely, but sometimes it's like that,"

Claude is short for Jean Claude Van Damme. Are you saying Jean Claude Van Damme does not have consciousness? Because I agree with you.

Jin Ramen AJ Ellis is such a powerful concept.

We love to see Fake Kersh looking on don't we

It doesn't matter what I post you goof

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

Anti-Semites have agency so I don't want to let them off the hook but at the same time the groups that were supposed to enforce the cordon sanitaire blew their credibility on attacking a guy who went to more bar mitzvahs than most of us as an anti-Semite.

Wrote about that Kansas mess

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Same impulse. Life finds a way.

I loved AJ being like "Padma yelling at me, my dream came true." He was right and he was right to say it.

Obviously the broader culture is not in a good place but it's heartening that television keeps returning to one of the eternal storytelling themes: Padma Lakshmi imperiously striding into the room and demanding that you make her a delicious treat.

Thank you. I will not coordinate with it.

The Road To Magic City Monday Is Paved With Good Intentions | Defector Here is a funny headline, from the CBS Sports website: “Hawks will not cancel ‘Magic City’ event despite Luke Kornet’s public plea.” Dang! My faith in Luke Kornet’s power to halt the promotional machi...

I have an investment to protect

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer.

An important academic update

Halal Truck Mr. Beast

Eldest boy has taken to sending me messages and emails sporadically that look normal but when opened are just Halal Truck Mr. Beast

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
