Harry Donenfeld was a mobbed-up sleaze who swindled Siegel & Shuster out of their fair share, and then had his legal goon Jack Liebowitz fire them and blackball them.
Donenfeld hated Supes at first btw. He thought the character was childish and ridiculous. The sales figures soon changed his tune.
Multiple peer reviewed studies in high impact journals have shown a substantial benefit of gender affirming care for trans youth. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon's penis for "further study" says this care is dangerous. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Ended so many wars we had to start some new ones.
ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Kash Patel announces at a press conference that he can in fact successfully find his ass using both hands, tries to demonstrate and somehow accidentally sets the podium on fire
Patel has publicly proclaimed that the FBI needs to demonstrate that it is “fierce,” and officials I spoke with said he was fixated on that image in private, as well. He recently expressed frustration with the look of FBI merchandise, complaining that it isn’t intimidating enough. Officials have grown accustomed to such behavior, and they have learned to roll their eyes at it. But they said the absurdity masks real concerns about what Patel’s leadership has meant for an institution that the country relies on for national security and the safety of its citizens. “Part of me is glad he’s wasting his time on bullshit, because it’s less dangerous for rule of law, for the American public,” one official told me, “but it also means we don’t have a real functioning FBI director.”
also notable that FBI officials share my take on Kash, which is that him being a drunken party animal is actually sort of the best case scenario in terms of what else he could be doing with his time

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

"The decorations included an archway that read 'Seeking Truth to Save The West,' underneath the words 'Presented by Meta' and the company’s logo." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Meta threw a party for influencer Isabel Brown to celebrate 100 episodes of her podcast, where she sings the praises of motherhood, frets about the dangers of open borders, and asks rhetorical questions about homosexuality.
I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary
Capitalism kills all our dreams
this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

learnt from the very good book on gladiatorial life I'm reading that powerful Roman men generally wanted to be depicted in statues as looking tired and worn because it conveyed them as being hard working and self-sacrificing. which explains all those baggy eyes.
My favorite thing about AI as an IT person is now instead of telling me what's wrong the users tell the LLM the problem and then submit a ticket full of chatbot nonsense.
