Celebrating 4/20 in your 20’s vs celebrating 4/20 in your 30’s

I respect the difference!! My best friend and I arrive separately when we’re flying together bc she has to be there hours in advance

ideal travel for me is arriving at the gate 15 minutes before boarding, with just enough time to grab a coffee before getting on the plan. if that makes you mad good thing we aren’t traveling together anyway

Wow the people who are neurotically early for flights are really angry at those of us who don’t want to spend hours lounging in sad, uncomfortable halls with hundreds of sick, tired people longer than necessary

So long as authoritarian violence is acceptable, even encouraged, on the micro level within families, it will be impossible to defeat on a macro level. There is no democracy, no value for human rights, without the participation and inclusion of women and children. And that participation depends on feeling safe at home first. All life, and livelihoods, are devalued when we devalue vulnerable people. And for what? An ancient status quo built on brute strength. Marriage and the nuclear family still provide the basic unit for our tax code. We’re incentivized by the government to create a private jurisdiction where men overarchingly rule. The patriarchs are not okay, and it’s doubtful they ever have been. Their benevolent dictatorship kills, and it’s time to let the toxic institution go.

This month, Dem rep Eric Swalwell was exposed as a serial rapist and resigned. GOP rep Tony Gonzalez stepped down after a staffer he sexually harassed self-immolated. The former Lt Gov of Virginia murdered his estranged wife during a domestic dispute and took his own life.

While we’re on the subject of marital rape, a reminder that the president isn’t just a child rapist, but was also accused by ex-wife Ivana of raping her after a hair implant procedure went badly

Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

What are "real journalists?

The news reporters who go to the same few sources every time?

Stenographers who just take govt/police at their word?

Who only care about maintaining access to power?

Who sit on huge stories only to publish tell-all books later to enrich themselves?

Hunter is not completely right, but he's not completely wrong either!

This is a longer essay, but having spent my entire career at WaPo as an opinion editor and then a columnist -- I have quick thoughts! 1/n

Meet the investigative journalist ‘under Orbán’s skin’ on the eve of Hungary’s elections Hungarian journalist Szabolcs Panyi uncovered explosive evidence that the country’s foreign minister had offered favours to the Kremlin. On the eve of hotly contested elections, the government responded by accusing him of espionage and threatening jail time.

"The KGB and its successor [the FSB] were also successful in infiltrating the opposition parties and infiltrating Orbán’s inner circle, using the very same methods they used elsewhere: corruption and compromise. This is something that I’ve been investigating."

Can a person get canceled for not liking turkey or is it a given many of us think it sucks?

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

The corruption was too big to fail for over a decade.

When we talk about Orban financing the GOP, we’re also talking about Russian money too. While our major media outlets were more busy denying any links than investigating them.

Democrats listen up

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"

The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

I hate Google for making me turn off all smart features if I want Gemini to stop suggesting writing at every turn. What do you mean you won’t add calendar events unless I take your shitty email and word doc suggestions

Sure JD Vance botched negotiations with Iran, but consider he also helped Orban lose in a landslide. May he bring those talents home to his own party

‘I had poked the bear right in the eye’: my fight to renounce my Russian citizenship The long read: When Putin invaded Ukraine, he raised murder to the level of national policy. I felt guilt by association. And I had to act

Over the last few days I received quite an overwhelming number of e-mails in relation to this piece: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a.... I'll try to answer them all, albeit gradually. The piece is superficially about Russia. But I think it's fundamentally about understanding one's own identity.
