A New York Times headline that reads: "Calibri’s Run-In With Rubio Wasn’t Its First Controversy."

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

They are so rare that I wonder if you could get a statistical sample that wasn't anything other than biased against the doofuses in the current administration.

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.

George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

Very sorry to hear that Raul Malo died. I've had many happy hours listening to The Mavericks and his solo albums. RIP.

Congrats!

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Nice work, Ward. Are the low temps related to why we haven't seen many UV flares from Trappist-1? Or is it just because it's UV faint and we've had bad luck?

By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations.

Congressman Henry Cuellar was indicted for money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy, allegedly taking about $600,000, mostly from Azerbaijan, to influence U.S. policy.

President Donald Trump pardoned Cuellar, because Trump supports money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy.

Cedar fever has entered the chat.

I'm sorry to hear that. My husband had a detached retina right after we started dating. No problems since then, though, so I hope you too will have many decades of excellent vision.

The right's anti-empathy shtick has predictably slid into straight psychopathy. At worst these are low-level cocaine smugglers. More likely they're locals trying to make some extra income. Some are likely innocent.

Meanwhile, Trump just pardoned a high-level distributor. And an ex-dealer leads HHS.

How many sex scenes are you willing to add?

What textbook(s)?

I think it can weaken an understanding of how science works, but compared to, say, vaccine hesitancy, definitely not. When my yoga teachers talk about moon phases or where Venus lies in the sky, I just nod politely.

My remote display wasn't working with my laptop. It took a half an hour and wrestling with a HDMI cable to get it going again. I thought it might be quitting time, but it was 9:30.

Linda gave the best face and no one will ever beat Naomi's walk, but there is just something about Christy...

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

Thomas Chatterton Williams & co are desperately flogging "the work right" to justify their focus on the left. The more obvious parallel is that the right is obsessed with a form of identity politics that far outstrips anything you see on a college campus, and with much more radical policy goals.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

I’m a terrible nurse so we were made for each other. 😀

Where the suspension of disbelief kicks off is subjective.

Not generally with a fixed term and full regalia.

I mean, an elected queen—what even is that?

So many, but this week I'll mention Jubilee by Toni Tipton-Martin. Every recipe has been tested to the ends of the earth so there are no duds. Plus, the historical detail about African American cooking is fascinating.

A month of Elon Musk on X: Conspiracy theories, fringe politics and self-promotion An NBC News analysis of one month of Musk’s social media posts shows what’s been on his mind, including a broad cross-section of fringe political topics.

NEW: I did a very deep dive into one month's worth of Elon Musk's posts on X so I could understand the breadth and depth of what he is posting about these days. In a word: fringe. www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu... 🧵

There’s No “I” in Team. But There Is One in “ALIENS” Yelling “Tarantulas!” in a crowded movie theater has its time and place. If you’re enduring Madame Web, everyone will be relieved you…

@deschscoveries.bsky.social continues to do yeoman's work demonstrating why speculations of the alien origin of 3I/ATLAS isn't just wrong, it's really crappy science. His writeups are also very funny.

Incredibly infuriating when the "pro-life" position allows a woman to die rather than provide her with proper medical care.
