I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

Coming from the guy who chopped up a whale carcass with a chainsaw. Ok boss

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

No one will agree with me, but I don’t think he’s calling for a strike on socal

Trump: "Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. You want to see some bad things happen?"

Bret Stephens, I really enjoyed almost all of your recent columns. If you're scratching your head at this "news," well, it's because I made it up.

Every book he claims is DEI is incredible, especially Marlon James’ new one. No indication Bret read any of these books www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/o...

Not using social media tons for the time being, but everyone should read this takedown of one of the biggest rabbis in American Reform Judaism, which is really about the larger incoherence of supporting liberal pluralism in the US while opposing it in Israel. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-54/rev...

I started watching a big new Netflix movie that opens with a father and son driving to a new town, and the dad says, "Okay, A NEW START!" to make sure I got it just in case I wasn't looking at the TV screen, which, to be fair, I wasn't, because I knew he was going to say something dumb like that.

I think California cities should ban all new guns store, but is there any evidence that proximity to gun stores increases risk of gun violence? Asking because I live near several :-/

Los Angeles Times@latimes.com

A gun store opened next to a preschool playground in Goleta, prompting parent protests and a drop in enrollment. Now California officials are weighing new rules on how close gun stores can be to child-care centers.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Fascinated by how little I understand the world

it’s that time of year again, Rolling Stone released their list of the top 25 content creators, which is actually a test of how old and out of touch you are… the lower your score, the more out of touch i’ve heard of 11 out of 25

My favorite Darline Graham fact

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

Darline Graham ekes out a win in South Carolina, according to the AP. Despite Trump's endorsement, Graham leads by less than 17,000 votes out of more than 343,000 total cast (with 92% in).

The only takeaway from the last six months is that countries would be wise to acquire nuclear weapons as quickly as possible

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Are you exchanging written letters with Kim Jong Un? TRUMP: I can't tell you that. But I get along with him great. He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons. He's gonna be fine.

Also, and not for nothing -- tell me you haven't read David Halberstam's book without telling me you haven't read David Halberstam's bood. Best and brightest wasn't/isn't a compliment

Stancil is fine freedom_of_speech.gif

Morg@thorpa.bsky.social

I'm only telling it like it is. Everyone is tired of Stancil's constant moaning, and whining, it makes people abuse him even harder than they did before, because everybody hates weak, spineless crybabies, I'm sure you agree.

What does this even mean? Doesn’t Dobbs give states the authority to regulate abortion?

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

I was today years old when I learned that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attends a bible study group that teaches that Jewish people killed Jesus, which has been used to justify antisemitism and associated violence against us Jews.

Replying to @jaywillis.net

The thing about the Just Asking Questions crowd is that all of the "questions" about trans athletes have simple, straightforward, easily accesible answers. Anyone who is *still* asking questions, it is a pretty safe assumption that they just don't want to hear the answers.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

We need to talk about this for what it really is: loser shit

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Breaking News: President Trump ordered new signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to warn that its depiction of U.S. history, in his view, is “inaccurate.” It was the latest escalation in his dispute with the institution.
