The Wide Wide Sea by Hampton Sides. Story of Captain Cook’s last voyage. Fascinating and really makes you grateful not to be an 18th century mariner.

Comparing 2020 KH to 2024 KH doesn’t make sense. By 2024 she was a different candidate, a very well known quantity, and by EVERY possible metric a better candidate than sloppy, deranged Trump. So please miss me with your dismissal of misogyny as a factor.

Totally agree. It’s awful and a betrayal and many will continue to suffer. But there are only hard or harder choices to make right now. We still need to pick ourselves up, keep building a bigger coalition and push ahead. It’s the only way. This was one skirmish in a very long war.

I’m sorry did you miss the 2024 presidential election? A brown woman with a resume longer than DJT’s red tie lost. Misogyny is very very powerful in the USA.

I could not listen to the Atlantic podcast ep on House of Dynamite bc maybe it’s reality tv at this point

Why are Miller and his ilk STILL obsessed with communism??? Like that is a boomer preoccupation my dude. Literally no one is talking about communism in 2025 lol.

It’s not about YOU. His point is that video-based SM is way way more effective at reaching a larger and more diverse audience. Twitter and this place are more of a closed circle. Being sanctimonious about Meta or TT is not going to help left/Dem messaging get out there in the short term.

Seen in my immigrant-heavy, central BK neighborhood the other day 😂

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social has been talking about this for a while…

FDA will limit Covid vaccines to people over 65 or at high risk of serious illness, leaders say The FDA announced it will limit access to Covid-19 vaccines going forward to people 65 and older and others at high risk of serious illness

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Done and thank you!

She is incredible and this is the best club ever!

Yes. This bish is the literal OPPOSITE of a public health expert. Supplement shiller who will worsen health outcomes for pretty much everyone but especially vulnerable people. I doubt she even understands what the purpose of public health policy is.

Where is the reporting for this? I’m sure Europe is figuring out how to deal with our abandonment of them but saying the Ukraine will “replace” the US is on its face absurd. Ukraine is not capable of filling the position the US held in the alliance.

Total abnegation of the responsibilities of a public health official. He’s a menace to our health.

Listen to this and share this info widely. An NLRB whistleblower is risking his livelihood and safety to warn us of DOGE’s data theft. His courage is inspiring and he needs to be protected—so keep his name and his story in the forefront.

Stephen Miller just out here lying as usual.

Thank your for showing us what leadership can and should be doing! Keep pressing ahead, so many of us support you. He deserves due process just as all of us do.

Not to be pedantic but this execrable windbag graduated from Yale law and yet doesn’t know how to use the term “begs the question”. In addition to just the outright lying.

Who said this it is genius

I’m sorry, what??? Your OP was incorrect. The IMPORTER pays the tariff. That’s the whole point. US businesses are paying the tariffs. Confusing imports for exports is not a matter of “succinctness”…
Your post was incorrect and your rant was misdirected bc of sloppy language use. Do better.

Yeah that’s my point. Let’s be clear when we use language! The importer (goods consignee) pays the tariff to CBP.

What? The company importing does pay the tariff. I’m importing printed books from Singapore and Italy. I’m paying the tariff! Also not all imported goods are crap.

lol is Luttig’s original post sarcasm? That was my first assumption. Brooks is so consistently bad.

To pay $100 or $125 for a museum catalogue for instance so we have to make them in Europe or Asia. And no one is going to bring back binderies here. That business has already been contracting in Europe. Just one little example of how these fuckin tariffs are just dumb as an across the board measure

Art books in the US for a few reasons but one of them is that there are two binderies that still do sewn bindings for these high end illustrated books. Almost everyone—museums, galleries—prints overseas bc it’s simply too expensive to make these books here most of the time. Consumers don’t want

I run a tiny publishing house. We make art books which are wildly not profitable lol. These tariffs are insane bc no one knows when he will change his fucking mind and also bc goods and projects are in the pipeline that we didn’t project extra costs for. Its at least 40-50% more expensive to make

Why he’s dating his mom tho?
