The turkeys are the shadow rulers of Martha’s Vineyard.

Emily Brontë in Her Smut Era: The Romance Rebranding of “Wuthering Heights” - Public Books Repackaging Wuthering Heights as a Valentine’s Day date movie is a perverse distortion of a text where the only union is found in the dirt of a shared grave.

Welp. I probably won’t see this grotesque-sounding rebrand on Valentine’s
Day, but reading about it makes me eager to revisit Bronte’s book. www.publicbooks.org/emily-bronte...

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

Live: State officials decry fatal shooting. ‘We can’t live like this,’ Walz says Protesters have swarmed the street where a man was shot and killed by federal agents Saturday. Republican Tom Emmer said Walz’s response was “dangerous.”

“The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the state’s chief investigative agency, said it was not allowed access to the scene.”

My advice to other journalists: at a minimum, whenever you’re reporting what DHS claims happened you can also mention how they’ve been proven wrong or speaking in bad faith recently

I keep thinking about how the people of Minneapolis already went through so much in the last six years and now have to survive ICE's mass brutality across the city. Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog were assassinated less than a year ago last June.

White House Posts Altered Photo Showing Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying

How low will this White House go to lie and gin up racist hate? Obviously, we have not reached bottom

The combination of the image and headline

It has come to this.

If you thought a car was just about to hit you, would your impulse be to shoot the driver, thereby increasing the chance the car would hit you? No. No, it would not. Your impulse would be to get the heck out of the way.

I jumped out of a sailboat to stop it from sailing away when the wind caught it after I had removed the rudder. Sliced off the edge of my toe on a razor clam.

This Mamdani inauguration ceremony is like water for a parched world.

Even better: the sweet, earnest performance of the children of PS 22!

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder.

There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

That is just terrible. I’m so sorry.

What I read felt like injecting himself into events, which I read as manipulation — but I have to admit I have not carefully studied the facts.

Agree there is a difference. Still, colluding with a subject or source to manipulate the story=off limits if you are in the nonfiction business.

Everybody’s talking about Trump and Epstein. I’m thinking about Michael Wolff, the so-called “journalist” who is giving real journalists a bad name. 🤮

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The moon that dazzles me always looks much smaller when I try to capture it in a photo

Thank you!

A beige cockapoo sits on a beach, looking out across the ocean water. He is seen from behind and backlit by the sun.

At the beach is where I most enjoy my sweet Pip.
