can't believe rfk jr wants to stop me from eating red M&Ms but he'll eat *** out of an ****

Listened to a podcast with some of the most deranged takes on this movie and congratulations to people who think the opposite of “don’t exploit mentally ill people for entertainment” is “just ignore these people exist.” Definitely nothing in between those two options.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Lol

Remain very disturbed by people who think Grey Gardens is a fun or funny watch.

Illiteracy, innumeracy, and the combination of the two + decades of propaganda that makes Americans believe every insane thing they hear about taxes.

Were Americans always this incredibly stupid about taxes or is this another thing we can blame on Reagan?

Once again, your state does not pay your federal taxes. That is not how it works.

Feeling guilty that I spoke this incantation

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!

It's remarkable how centrists and anti-liberal leftists both insist this is a harbinger of a "populist realignment": The former because they like to fear-monger about a red/brown alliance - the latter because they would accept such an alliance if it brought down the "liberal establishment."

Trump is incapable of resisting charm, (male) charisma, and - most importantly - celebrity. He has an unquenchable desire to be near it, has been chasing it his whole life.

That's mostly it. Forget all the "He's a populist!" bullshit from both the centrist commentariat and the anti-liberal Left.

The day after our conversation, Mr. Olbermann called to clarify something that had not come up; he wanted it known that they did not begin a physical relationship until Ms. Nuzzi was 19.

It’s very funny to me that he apparently considers this detail exculpatory www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/s...

And some of those consequences land straight at the door of family members. May this essay be burned in their brains forever. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia.

This is easily the most embarrassing thing about Nuzzi I’ve ever read

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Girl, stop dictating bad prose on your walks and hike your way to some intensive therapy instead.

Imagine reading about how terrible Bobby Jr is in that Ask Not book and getting so horny. Stacks of bad judgement.

I hate to give the slightest smidgen of credit to Lizza here, but he does note one thing that's right: it matters not just as a sordid and revolting melodrama. This is one of the most powerful men in the United States government and he's floridly insane in a way that's not just putting on an act.

Gross.
