"The mainstream has in the last 10 years begun to accept me. For reasons I’m not sure I understand. Maybe because they can’t get rid of me."
Doctor to patient: "Try to reduce your stress level, and if you somehow succeed please let me know how in God's name you did it."
I thought this felt relatable
Journalist Amal Khalil was killed in an Israeli bombing of the town of Al-Tayri in southern Lebanon.
Fruit cart scene in AN ADVENTUROUS AUTOMOBILE TRIP (1905) directed by Georges Méliès. This is the earliest version of the chase movie staple that I have seen and it is enhanced by hand-colored oranges, courtesy of legendary film colorist Madame Thuillier's team.

I spent a quarter century or so working with schools and with young writers. This is an extraordinarily well-done report on how good students are reacting to artificial intelligence in the classroom.

FBI admits it investigated Cato employees. It previously denied records existed.
Cato suspects FBI's FOIA search hit only low-security tier records and ignored locations intel-derived surveillance records would sit, then used a legal shortcut so it could refuse to say which databases were checked.
I know it's a small thing - compared to Trump's war, economic collapse & civil rights violations - but when you put the people you are supposedly celebrating BEHIND all the people who are causing the aforementioned disasters, it kinda seems like you're desperate for ANY kind of "win".
For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
Here's a nice little story about my friendship with @lindseyadler.bsky.social, who was around me when most people in my life we saying "you're insane," but she was saying "you're insane, but you're also right, so you should keep going."
My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

The Epstein files contain evidence about the sexual abuse of women, and especially minors. That was terrible. But there's something even worse in those files: evidence of billions of dollars of corruption. Many wealthy people who were not involved in sex abuse were involved in financial crimes.
I'm watching the Jimmy Savile documentary on Netflix and it's remarkable how much it's actually about how Thatcherism hollowed out public institutions such as hospitals so that they came to rely on the largesse of private entrepreneurs who, now being indispensable, were able to act with impunity
Love a followup story: Last year there was a lot of reporting on how Black women were disproportionately affected by budget cuts, and here are the numbers to back it up.
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."
Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now
The Epstein Files were supposed to be released 123 days ago.
Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill.
If a company’s product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.

No, I really liked Ivy back in the day when she first joined the show.
Years later, she did do this weird thing where she dressed up in Steffy's wedding outfit in front of Liam. I questioned her mental state a bit ever since. #boldandbeautiful
Hooray for Dylan calling RJ out on his privilege! He has no idea how a average person lives.

"someone beneath them!"
Say more. Ivy.
