I want bad actors in our politics to pay for that, and we ought to know which of our leaders is doing heinous stuff.
Yet at this point, will releasing the Epstein files actually change anything? Like, what is in there that we don't already know? That the zealots won't just shrug away and excuse?

I want Senate Democrats to lower me into my grave at my funeral so they can let me down one final time.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

If you're 25+ years old and grew up in Kentucky, your state was ranked 45 out of 50 in education level while you were in school, and U.S. civics was not a mandated course. Just in case you were wondering why there are grown adults living in KY who think they can vote against Mamdani the NYC election

This is absolutely a fallacy, but I think it’s an instinct-level belief for most people. We don’t want to give control over our safety to strangers unless there’s adequate propaganda that socially-programmed that amount of trust into us. We trust flawed institutions because they have better PR.

I think most folks’ instinct is that they’re more competent than β€œthe stranger” at preserving their own safety.
I’m the one driving the car, and I’m invested in my own survival (I made it this far), ergo that’s β€œsafer” than trusting the train.
Nevermind the contrary evidence, of course.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

I know this month has been rough because I'm just now realizing it's Halloween, a day that I normally anticipate for weeks.
Just no time to even think about it. No time to think about anything. Pushing through a sense of unreality.

Accusing Jordan Silverman A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

New from me:

Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.

This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

An uncomfortable truth is that a lot of religions condition their followers to be predisposed towards authoritarianism. I know that's a hard pill to swallow, but there's a reason State officials treat themselves like priests, why political conversion is conducted via church. The machinery is there.

See, this is why I watch modern televised debates. At least from the last ten years or so.
If you stick it out long enough, someone will ask something stupid, and at least one candidate will say something bonkers

Today I placed a preorder for β€œI Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend For $200” through a local book store.
The owner was intrigued, so I gave them the lowdown.
They are picking up several copies in addition to my order for general sale.

As a teen in the late 90s, and at college in the 2000s, I often heard conservatives say that "A benevolent dictatorship is better than a democracy." And I mean word-for-word, many times, different people.
Was that just a local phenomenon? Because it's why I'm not surprised by the "plenary" thing.

And just like that, "Plenary" is in the running for every dictionary's Word of the Year.
