From an article in the New Yorker, just after Wrestlemania, about Linda McMahon and her running the Department of Education.

THAT LADDER MATCH THO

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Working on something. Is this permissible to include in a set of submission rules for an anthology, legally?

I’m already annoyed at how tremendously Wrestlemania is gonna suck this weekend.

I wish I was wrong, but I’ve been hurt before.

It’s weird how the expression “quite frankly” has become a way to tell if stupid people are trying to sound smart.

As they say, it’s not all men, but it’s always men.

“Everybody’s using AI for everything nowadays, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square, and then resurrected virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

This entire column is art. It should be posted in the Smithsonian, although it would promptly be removed by the administration.

Some of you aren’t talking about how amazing Jury Duty: Company Retreat was, and I’m disappointed in you.

Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán concedes defeat in a European electoral earthquake Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat after what he called a ″painful″ election result, ending 16 years in power for a dominant figure in the far-right movement allied with U.S.

In good news, the ruler of Hungary for the last 16 years, Victor Orbán, was defeated today. Orbán is one of the main writers of the authoritarian playbook, featuring great replacement theory. The campaigning of Trump and Vance failed. Hungarians gave humanity hope.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

"The dumbest person you know is being told 'you are absolutely right' by an AI right now."

It goes SO. FUCKING. HARD.

There is no more dangerous political idea than claiming another civilization must be annihilated to prevent the annihilation of your own civilization. This great replacement theory will lead to the annihilation of both civilizations, of all civilizations, of human civilization.

I Guess We're Just Waiting Around To See If This Demented Psychopath Kills Everyone | Defector There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then...

Whether it's Donald Trump posting profane threats of war crimes on Truth Social or liberals putting their pronouns in email signatures, both sides have published language that the other side considers threatening.

Hallo. Today’s newsletter is all about the onslaught (onslop?) of AI news in publishing, and how it seems inevitable that LLMs will become part of the publishing process: buttondown.com/eaymar/archi...

Honestly, after that Trump post, I’m begging @nytimes.com, @apnews.com, @reuters.com, @washingtonpost.com, @npr.org and all of the other newspapers and media outlets to take this seriously. This is not normal and we need to stop pretending. This is a crisis.

Climate Science Has No Place in Scientific Reference Manual for Judges, Attorneys General Say - Eos A chapter on climate science has been removed from a manual designed to be an independent, neutral source of scientific information for judges.

“It's like we're at a time that somehow we think we have to give equal time to the people who believe that the Earth is flat,” says retired judge Nancy Gertner. “I mean, you don’t.”

Every chance they get Democrats should speculate that Trump fired Bondi because she was about to follow the law & release the rest of the Epstein files.

Epstein files have lost a bit of news momentum. It needs to get back to previous levels of attention.
