Megyn Kelly in 2018: " There's no consenting for a 14 or even a 17 year old."

Megyn Kelly now: "Jeffrey Epstein…was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

An absolutely fascinating episode explaining the various experimental recording techniques used on Tomorrow Never Knows. Outstanding!

When Groff starts something new, she writes it out longhand in large spiral notebooks. After she completes a first draft, she puts it in a bankers box - and never reads it again. Then she'll start the book over, still in longhand, working from memory. The idea is that this way, only the best, most vital bits survive.

every writer likes to brag about their productivity until they learn how Lauren Groff drafts:

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Inspiration—a mysterious entity that appears at 3 a.m. when you’re too tired to type, then vanishes the moment you open your laptop.

"The fact that Trump is adorning his office with gold and doubling his net worth is all the proof you need that he was perfectly content to say whatever he needed to say on the campaign trail to manipulate his fans. But now that he's got what he needs from them, he's done helping them."

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Love it!!!

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

If you want to get admitted to a leading university such as Oxford you need to put in the work of figuring out what contribution to knowledge you will make. Start by reading the literature but please not by asking ChatGPT to write a proposal.

It is a waste of everyone’s time and frankly offensive.

When you’re in Paris and you know you overdid it on the book purchases.

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money.

Which is why boycotts work.

Is the Sagrada Família a Masterpiece or Kitsch? In the century since Antoni Gaudí died, his wild design has been obsessively realized, creating the world’s tallest church—and an endlessly debated icon.

The Sagrada Família is an immense, unfinished church in Barcelona, begun in 1882—“a famously slow project, even in a country where, to American eyes, many things move without haste,” D. T. Max writes.

Saw your sign on Labor Day- it was my fav!

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

Pritzker out here giving a master class in countering the right wing propaganda machine’s efforts to justify further federal invasions and occupations of American cities: he’s effectively reframing the discussion (beyond debates re: crime rates) to one of rising authoritarianism & federal overreach.

1) So I am I 2) My point is that those phrases shouldn’t be on the list bc they aren’t the same as the others. Conservatives debate about “trigger” or whatever wrd they don’t like or understand but they can’t deny the existence of hunger. I studied food insecurity and would rather call it hunger tbh

1) “academic hothouses”? 🙄 So tired of non-academics dissing academia 2) This is a mishmash of terms that are in different categories, words like “triggering” and “cisgender” are new but “food insecurity”and “the unhoused” are kinder ways of stating ugly realities - hunger and homelessness.
