That all might have (probably did) happen but they're back on. In fact I think they're married right now.

I'm gonna need a silver-age set story that includes this, ASAP.

No Kings, Iowa City 10/18/25

Guys who crawled up into fame by running small businesses and mastering SEO and cloutchasing being more right wing than people who mastered a collaborative art form seems pretty intuitive to me

"feckless" not "reckless.". Grrr

Exactly. I have zero interest in rehabilitating Christie but when someone this reckless gets on the right side of things it's a sign worth paying attention to.

Right. Still, it's notable that even by the shitty standards of the people on whose behalf he was raping and pillaging, he was terrible.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Alt text: Screenshot of text describing the "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." It says the compact asks universities to adopt the government’s definition of gender for bathrooms, locker rooms, and women’s sports teams. It also asks colleges to stop considering race, gender, and other demographics in admissions and to require undergraduates to take the SAT or ACT.

The university compact being offered to universities requires colleges to eliminate the recognition of trans people and ban them from bathrooms, locker rooms, and gender segregated dorms.

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach.

If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

That was the first one I heard too. My roommate (1st year first try at college) actually bought it, but I ended up with it. Same guy was also the first in my very rock/punk rock circle to get into Prince.

Once again, this perfect @zeboydgames.bsky.social post comes to mind:

For some context, we could have made the monthly child tax credit that cut child poverty by 40% permanent for $100 billion a year. The return on investment would have been $15 per $1.

This is who these people are.

WHERE ARE THE 1800 MEN DETAINED AT THE CONCENTRATION CAMP CALLED #AlligatorAlcatraz?

1800 men have disappeared.

Have they been deported? If so, to where?

McWilliams is reading at the Whitewater this Friday & a friend in LR is going & is going to ask abt the records. If I still lived in Fayetteville I'd drive down myself but I'm in Iowa City.

TBC, I meant looking to see if McWilliams was on Bluesky, which it seems like is a no.

But yeah, this was a great talk.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

The right only believes in free speech when it protects their voices. Jimmy Kimmel floated the obvious, maybe the Charlie Kirk killer wasn’t some mythical “antifa leftist” but came from their own side, and suddenly his show is on “indefinite pause.”

One step closer to authoritarianism.

it is really important for news outlets to be clear (unlike the nyt here) that Kimmel was suspended not because of some grassroots backlash but because ABC caved to threats from the head of the FCC

Ok! This is the first I'd heard of Stanford's record collection still existing & being with the manager of the Whitewater Tavern. Interesting.

"You are being musically mean to me and it's hurting my feelings so I am going to call the police department that we are supposed to be supporting to report a feels violation."

Thanks for sharing this. I'm about 3/4 thru JMW's Stanford bio & it's really good. Found your post looking to see if McWilliams was on here but it looks like no.

That seems like a stronger argument for calling the Minnesota murders assassinations (& I think they were) than it is for not calling Kirk's murder an assassination.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

With signs suggesting Tyler Robinson might be an extremely online Groyper, right wingers might get that civil war they want ...but entirely on the right.

Exclusive: Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor accused of mortgage fraud by the Trump administration, shows that Cook had declared the property as a “vacation home,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.

Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.

These docs show she did not.

🚨Officer Michael Fanone speaking truth to power. 🚨

I want us all, but men in particular, to really, really hear these words.

"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
