If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows

people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

Is there a workaround for having warm hands that keep the butter from staying as cold as it should be during the prep?

My wife has alternated between “you need to stop being so logical about this show” and “were you in the writer’s room and just didn’t tell me?” as we’ve watched the episodes. Constantly thought-provoking, and having a family connection to Albuquerque has helped in a weird way

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.

$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I never thought I’d say that I’m glad I can still write my own emails, but here we are.

Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post.

This is, somehow, feasible.

So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

My pie take is that everyone should have one of each of the four pie options from 27th Street Bakery in Los Angeles, as they are the best

Pecan pie has perhaps the most sugar per square inch of any dessert. Plus median pie can be avoided pretty easily!

Just in time for some holiday spending positivity, too, at the one time period in the American year, where people may still slow down enough for news like this to register

Costco for merch?

How can amendments be attached to something that is not a piece of legislation? It’s like they’re attaching amendments to a pizza order.

The best health care plan would be the government taxing everyone but especially the rich to pay doctors and hospitals so we have health care. We’ve spent at least 100 years pretending this is not the case.

With no advertising on the site, it begs the question of who in particular is offended by something on this site, and why. And with no clear standards of moderation, there’s essentially no distinction between “flexibility to incorporate judgment” and “arbitrary”.

It's harder to get home insurance. That's changing communities across the U.S. Home insurance is getting less affordable, and less available, as insurers raise prices and pull back from areas with extreme weather. That's forcing families across the country to make tough choices.

Only a completely misguided and deluded executive makes that trade. I expect we will be hearing about some kind of under-the-table compensation to Nico at some point

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Won’t ever forget being on a Greyhound at night in the middle of Wisconsin where a fight broke out in the back of the bus, and the driver had to drive for ten more minutes while the fight kept going in order to get to a meeting point where a local sheriff took the people off the bus and into custody

Might have to make a road trip up from OC to Century City to get proper Italian pasta!

Gov't-backing of 50-year mortgage would create more buyers, but 'more demand, same supply' means prices go up. Plus, a buyer who can't afford monthly payments of a 30-year mortgage probably shouldn't be on a 50-year either, they're likely to default.

It'd just be inflating the bubble a bit more.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it

Ingles cold like the antifreeze court, perfect match for a Minnesota winter

No matter what, we’ll always have the album Evan recorded with Karl and Bill from the Descendents as the rhythm section

I keep thinking the clowns cannot clown any harder, in public, where we can see them, and yet

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

I think of this graphic every day.
