Amen.

You can't spell "tzatziki" without "attak".

Was at a Curtis Sliwa rally in Queens on Sunday, and while waiting for him, overheard two guys talking about "these teachers who were making fun of Charlie Kirk with bloody shirts."

The information environment these days is as healthy as deep-fried asbestos.

bomb threats to dem leaning polling locations on election day have somehow become normalized

I never bought the most prevalent 9/11 conspiracy theory, because if the military had actually shot down Flight 93 on Cheney's orders, he would have spent the rest of his life bragging about it. Book tours, lecture series, TV docs, all touting the Cold, Decisive Man of History.

He's not lying. Not a single line drive hit to 3B all year. (Also, I'm old enough to still be amazed that one can come up with this info, sorted and clearly presented, in less than a minute. So cool.)

This is, unfortunately, correct.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too.

My heart just aches for these kids & their families, & fuuuuuck any & all Democrats who think it's ~good politics~ to throw them under the goddamn GOP bus.

I hate these liars so much man. you can't just go out and make shit up every day without consequences, that's not what society is

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.

You just genuinely can't have a "complete rejection of race- and group-based identity politics" when the Republican Party is seeking to dismantle the Voting Rights Act, erase trans people from public life, and racially profile, detain, and deport Hispanics. It's absurd to suggest it.

I'm old enough to remember G.H.W. Bush devoting a decent portion of his convention speech to the plague of frivolous lawsuits and the pitfalls of an overlitigious society.

Running to the right on cultural issues isn’t going to fix this

Pure insanity. Any Democrat who still thinks they can work or reason with these people is worthless. Oppose, oppose, oppose.

Damn. Coates brings the heat.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

The whole conversation should be about mental incompetence.

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis.

Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

Who else could make the 2022 NCAA women's 500 freestyle a national story?

Every day is an unending litany of shame for a range of institutions in this country--and especially are news media--who 100% would not be putting up with even a fraction of this deranged behavior from literally anyone else.

God it's so gross. I wish I had something more sophisticated to say about it. It's just so fucking gross.

Patel's been spending too much time with Gretzky.

Barely a nod to the massive corruption and illegality of what DJT is doing (oh, it's just bad optics!) amid the nostalgia for a much smaller incident that the Herald turned into a megascandal.

As the founder of the "Remember Deval Patrick's Drapes?" Club, I am suitably pissed off (but hardly surprised) by this framing from the Zombie Herald.

“U.S. Strikes 2nd Boat in Pacific as Antidrug Operation Expands” New York Times headline, October 23, 2025. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/us/politics/trump-drug-boat-strike-colombia.html

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.”

Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”?

Or do they just sorta do it?

We are retroactively losing the Civil War, WWII and the Cold War thanks to white identity politics.

You weren't at the Herald for Deval Patrick's drapes, right? That was a major scandal on Wingo Way.
