🚨 Prince Andrew just gave up his Duke of York title—not out of remorse, but because Epstein’s name is back in the headlines.

No apology. No accountability. Just a royal rebrand as the heat turns up.

They’re protecting the crown, not the victims.

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.

If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.

Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

I wish I was kidding.

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

A drawing of my OC Coyote and main protagonist of my webcomic Coyote Tresvidas. This is a quick drawing, sketchy style, black & white, almost just lineart. You can see him smoking with eyes closed. He is front view and the smoke comes out of his mouth. The background is dark and there is something written very subtle: "I want to live all my lives with you". Un dibujo de mi personaje Coyote y protagonista de mi webcomic Coyote Tresvidas. Es un dibujo casi boceto, en blanco y negro, sólo en lineart. Se ve a Coyote fumando con los ojos cerrados. Está de frente y el humo sale de su boca entreabierta. El fondo es oscuro y hay algo escrito muy sutilmente: "I want to live all my lives with you"

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section.

Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source.

You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"?
