Someone finally answers the question that every writer asks: Is it possible to write a 140-word sentence that says absolutely nothing?

Kamala Harris gave you every bit of messaging and every bit of foresight of what was going to happen in specific detail. If you didn't listen to her that's on you. That just shows you didn't want to listen. And I don't give a flying fuck what you have to say now about your bad decision making.

Kudos to the Dallas Morning News for doing that which the Chicago Tribune was incapable of doing.

I do not care that you are not β€œsurprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is β€œnot surprising.” Nothing is β€œsurprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

I fear that by Zuck & Musk buying platforms that harvest our personal data & pump us full of propagandaβ€”they’ve begun to convince the world that our minds, our beliefs, & our life data are commodities to be purchased & manipulated by the billionaire class.

When those assets should belong to YOU.

a teensy brown ball of fluff sits on a gray tile floor and looks up at the camera. the dog’s eyes are wide-set and pleading, and his little mouth curves down in a dramatic frown. his little body only takes up one half of one tile, and it looks like he could be swallowed up by shadows any second. pick him up!

This is Bug. He would like to be picked up for cuddles. It is an emergency. 13/10 (IG: bugthebrusselsgriffon)

I suppose we can take comfort in knowing this is EXACTY who Kamala Harris would have nominated to a lifetime position in the judiciary. Nailed it again, third party voters!

That's pretty good, except that Hicks was going on the assumption that Leno would actually be listening to one of his conversations. As far as I could tell, every time someone else spoke was a chance for him to brainstorm more jokes for tomorrow night.

Really? Are you sure you don’t hire them as a full-time commentator? Asking for a television channel.

Good point. People who gripe about Jay Leno’s jokes risk downplaying the fact that he was appallingly poor at actual conversation. Whenever someone else is speaking, he’s got the look that says, β€œI better get ready for that Saturday show in Austin."

Every so often, it's good to be reminded that David Brooksβ€”to borrow a phrase from the late, great Fred Allenβ€”is a tweed wastebasket.

You know, I'm beginning to wonder if there WERE actually differences between the two major candidates...
