As journalism has imploded as a viable career and The Washington Post has fired nearly all of his hard-working colleagues, George rests on his laurels taxcutbating in a house he bought for a bushel of sweet corn that's now worth multiple millions of dollars. Real man of the people hours, Zombie WaPo
Never ask Matt Yglesias about Kenyon McDuffie's proposals to freeze property taxes and create more historic districts
I am so annoyed by @mattyglesias.bsky.social's head-in-the-sand takes on the DC mayoral race that I made this stupid meme
Another boomer suckled on the teat of the administrative/diplomatic state's post-war boom saying mother's milk was actually only ever for him and his exact age cohort. Great stuff from the zombie Washington Post, as usual.
She forgot about barbacks.
Larry Clark's Kids as public policy.
Left unsaid is one can't in good faith support a "democratic, pluralistic state" while also supporting AIPAC, which backed over 100 election deniers. Funding candidates intent on dismantling democratic institutions here is mutually exclusive to promulgating a "democratic, pluralistic state" anywhere
I agree with the intra-group critique re: holding a position, but the acquiescence to the judgment of a person outside of that group and that this judgment is also prima facie irrefutable by a member of the group itself is misguided at best and fatalistically accepting any/all antisemitism at worst.
How can we write op-eds about how you should all be arrested for protesting if you won't go out there to protest?
Columbia suspended, expelled, and retroactively revoked degrees in proceedings that were so arbitrary and capricious they were overturned by a NY state judge. Literally the only evidence Columbia submitted came from sealed records of dismissed arrests—records that Columbia shouldn't have even had.
I am one of the concerned Jewish writers! We were—and remain—concerned that the Jewish Book Council's apparent bias toward centering Israeli & Zionist voices is not only exclusionary but harmful. Thanks to @temim.bsky.social & @emmaceisenberg.bsky.social for organizing. lithub.com/an-open-lett...
Those kids are bright and learned that the campus free speech they thought existed actually doesn't and that their universities will not have their backs
you hated them while they were happening!!!
Ah, I forgot about all those American universities re-investing their students' tuition in NIOC and handing over graduate research to the IRGC. Someone should tell the students who protested against the war on Gaza about this immediately because this is definitely something that's happening.

My book Sushi In Ramallah in gorgeous Northridge, CA
Hey Erin, thank you for doing this! My first novel Sushi In Ramallah is a trip to Israel/Palestine gone comedically awry. Think Paul Beatty's The Sell Out meets Superbad! Not available in stores atm so DM for a copy/Venmo situation.
Bad headline.
Chinese Bookie double feature with Punchdrunk Love
Would be a shame if rich people in NYC got social services they can already afford. Also a shame, poor NYC residents getting social services while paying "hardly any" of the tax revenues that fund them. It's called the NYT shuffle and the primary readership is people who take the LIRR or Metro North

Legislative gridlock? Party over country? Yeah, we argue in favor of those now. Wait. Where are you going?
Tired: RussiaGate
Wired: IranToll
Professor at ASS Law.
Finally, it's time for this film to find it's audience. And yes, it was produced by a bunch of dudes who had to settle with the SEC for operating a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.
The Waffle House in question
At a hotel in Westchester County, oddly enough.
Anecdotally, this resonates. A few months ago, I overheard a clearly inebriated woman loudly state to her partner about another person, "cheap, Jewish b*, free Palestine, free Palestine cheap Jewish b*." I usually am quite nonconfrontational but intervened to discuss why this was doubly antisemitic.
