Eric Bauza, the current voice of Bugs Bunny and so many others, has unexpectedly passed away. I am gutted. A modern voice acting genius, Eric was the true successor to Mel Blanc while simultaneously always showing his respect and gratitude to Mel and all the others he followed.

In 2005, Time Magazine did a cover story on “The Battle Over Gay Teens.” It’s the same handwringing we see now from “concerned” adults on behalf of young people. “Kids are disclosing their homosexuality with unprecedented regularity–and they are doing so much younger.” time.com/archive/6596...

the town i grew up in had like 3 restaurants. we had so few options to eat. it is a major suburb of DC. now there is SO much food there!!!!

The storm is up, and all is on the hazard.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

It's kind of sad that literally no one loves him. Like if your father or grandfather or uncle or friend was doing this you would intervene. But nobody does.

THIS IS AN ALERT FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE… category five lock in making landfall by 2100 PDT… residents should prepare for surges of ten to twelve fuck it we balls per hour… if you have not constructed meaning for your existence, take necessary preparations immediately…

please don't miss this interview, you need to experience the whole ride up to this amazing exchange

For the @globalvoices.org Protest in Democracy spotlight, I wrote about how crucial activism is in our flawed, democracy-adjacent systems: globalvoices.org/2026/10/21/p...

love to see a teacher who finds it “hard to discern what’s going on”

I really appreciate that people understand this about the work we do at @boltsmag.org. Doing a state-by-state guide on who counts the ballot, spending time understanding Delaware or South Dakota alongside Arizona or Georgia, might not be a straight ticket to CNN virality—but it matters!

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

Best bat. 🖤

The obsession with keeping Black kids out of quality schools is really something else.

This moist weirdo babyman has spent billions of dollars optimizing every facet of his physical and virtual life with the goal of living forever, presumably so he can someday surround himself with people who don’t think he’s a sad wet dork

“Bad men gain power when we refuse to stand up and fight,” MK Pritzker said in a statement. “Vivek Ramaswamy represents everything that is wrong with our politics today."

Unruly and unkempt gangs of youth radicals are ambushing and harassing young women in parking garages to force them into publicly accepting their militant extremist politics, we can no longer afford to be permissive to such people and we need law and order to firmly discipline them

especially pertinent with women-coded industries, perhaps. like influencing and romance writing. when the career starts out, it’s not threatening to these men. then they’re sulky and mad when the girly stuff opens up huge opportunities and pays the bills!

Damn, this hits home with me. Jessica Kant, "Why Calling Anti-Trans Hate a “Distraction” Is So Troubling" The Nation Oct. 20, 2026. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

ironically, a program seemingly designed to just give money to the regime's friends and allies is textbook fraud

I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms. Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.

NEW VIDEO! You all sent me your favorite political ads of the midterms and I reacted to them live on stream. Here's a supercut of the funniest ones. If you haven't checked out my YouTube channel, this is a really good entry point: youtu.be/GoUahai1D-0

For decades, Americans of all political stripes have complained about “corruption” or the role of money in politics, but it rarely translates to political action. That might be changing.

I wrote for @thenation.com about why people need to stop acting as though the dramatically escalating bigotry on display in US politics is just an unserious sideshow.

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! #tinydesk youtu.be/HYA9e0XOUGk?...

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*
