I really underestimated the importance of having a secretary of defense, who doesn’t like it when people die

I genuinely think that MAGA is sliding fairly quickly into solipsism--they don't believe that it's possible for them to cause real consequences for the military or anyone else, and they view existence as a zero-sum political game which they win by destroying things that code as liberal.

@profjhermiz.bsky.social I assume you have the whole run of the Assyrian American Herald from 1915-1921. If not I can send it to you.

My story about how 924 sailors died of influenza over the course of a month at Great Lakes Naval Training Station.

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”

For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

If I remember correctly, I blocked this person after they kept musing that I must have fabricated this dumb oatmeal ad.

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

Tehran will never cede control of Strait of Hormuz, senior Iranian politician tells BBC Lyse Doucet speaks to Ebrahim Azizi, who says Iran "will decide the right of passage" through the crucial shipping route.

Heckava job, Trumpie:

You just know he won’t be able to get through one verse without stopping to riff.

Calling an entire culture (whatever that is) “regressive” and “dysfunctional” is literally like the last step on the way to genocidal ideation.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Only the New York Times, run by a fourth-generation nepo baby for an imagined audience of other elites with Roman numerals after their names, could treat such a small-bore common-sense tax proposal as the peak sign of a class war.

If this is the peak of the "anti-rich current," they'll be lucky.

Musk's privately held but largely taxpayer-subsidized company, SpaceX, purchases excess inventory from his publicly traded company, Tesla, which is the source of most of his wealth.

South Shore is a veritable architectural museum of some of the finest mid sized multifamily housing in the country

Pretty frustrating that the New York Times is crediting AP with uncovering the existence of Aadam’s archive when I reported on it 15 months prior. chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

It's still neat, but I have a hair-trigger temper when it comes to the accusation that I have falsified sources.

Also, the Newberry digitized the program. The dingbats who are sure that I have created this stupid oatmeal ad air out of thin air because the image is so clean can thank the library.

I have no problem with people questioning images. I do it all the time. But if someone tells a historian they have forged a source, they are attacking the core of the historian's integrity.

To the yoyos who think they know all there is to know about late nineteenth century print advertisements and have decided that I must have fabricated a stupid oatmeal ad as a means to earn precious street cred, here again is the source.

If you look me up, you would have to ask why I would risk my reputation just for a stupid ad. I DMd the first person to ask about the source, then got busy with other things. I hope this is enough evidence for everyone.

maybe look in my replies? I don’t know how many times I need to post the source to convince people that the ad is authentic

The president of the United States is bragging about being able to write his own signature.

Oh man he’d better hope there are no videos of him chugging beers with Olympic hockey teams when he said he was on official business or something like that

A gargantuan, nightmare of a tornado hit Easton, Illinois tonight in the pitch black darkness. Only with the lightning and a few power flashes can make out the shape of this beast...

May everyone across the midwest remain safe tonight, it's been one hell of a day.
