A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I didn’t have to watch it before, but I sure as hell do now.
Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."
Fucking eww.
Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech.

Tuck the boner under your belt.
Paramount+ has a 7-day free trial. Sign up, then watch the South Park episode. Pick Stephen Colbert when prompted for recommendations. Cancel before 7 days. For the reason, write: “Canceling bootlickers who stifle speech for money.” 💪
No! That is NOT Solid Snake!
As someone whose earliest memories include reading The Hobbit with my dad, I always felt Colbert gave you fucking awful advice here.
Ah, so that’s why they are always clenched so tightly.
Hey! Have you signed up for PBS Passport yet? $5 per month, you donate to PBS with it, and you get all of their shows. I registered for annual at $60/year.
Cancel Paramount, get PBS passport instead.
"More than just being a lawyer [for Jeffrey Epstein], Alan was a friend of Epstein's, and a friend of Ghislaine Maxwell, and went to the mansion, and went on the plane... I am questioning Alan's judgement on this and many other issues."

I usually stay cool even when writing about outrages. But for some reason the story of how crypto bought the government really makes me angry paulkrugman.substack.com/p/inequality...
Watch @timmiller.bsky.social on the Thiel/Douthat interview: "Do you want the human race to endure, Peter Thiel? It seems like basically the answer is no, but he doesn't want to say it. So he comes around to yes after 30 seconds. This is the man that set the vice president in place."
Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress
Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops
I was on CBC's The Next Chapter talking about some early influential books, some shout outs to beloved history professor the late David Torrance, and my great friend @badmachinery.com - www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky! We just released an ad that we think you'll love.
After yesterday’s massive turnout at No Kings rallies, let’s remember to bring that same energy to the midterms. Please and thank you?
Fuck these incel cosplaying dumbfuck losers
Rewording my earlier post.
RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress.
I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good.
If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?
Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.
Here's a baby otter to start your week.
What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?
Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.
Again, before y’all get distracted. Peter Thiel is the real mastermind of evil.
Why is it always “cellar door” and never “diplomatic pouch.”
