2 days ago betting markets seemed to swing toward Secretary of State Marco Rubio as being a potential successor to the MAGA movement in the 2028 election.

I have my doubts as to whether that will hold, but it’s certainly going to be interesting to see Rubio and J. D. Vance jockey for that top spot.

So excited to be directing the “desert debut” of @goodyproctor.bsky.social’s incredible "Plague Play"!

Audition info coming this Friday!

Literary scholarship is CRAZY.

What do you mean Lovecraft’s "The Rats in the Walls" may have been partially inspired by a lost early draft of "Dracula"?!

What Trump avoided in the State of the Union could haunt him in November The president’s state of the union was notable for something his second term has largely lacked: restraint.

In the longest State of the Union speech ever, Trump avoided mentioning key policy issues, the Epstein scandal, and his approach to Iran.

Their absence has some in the GOP concerned that it could impact conservative performance in the midterms.

Attorney General Pam Bondi's testimony at yesterday's hearing was nothing short of a total shambles.

Between shouting irrelevant whataboutisms, throwing personal insults, and refusing to look at Epstein's victims, Bondi's performance has intensified calls for her to resign.

If my time spent as a classroom teacher taught me anything, it's that the processes that make up how teachers are trained, incorporated, and applied within classrooms are ultimately doomed to collapse.

The assemblage that makes up American education is reaching a crisis point.

Trump's extraordinary letter to Norway about Greenland - in full and fact-checked The letter from President Donald Trump to the prime minister of Norway over his demand to take "complete and total control of Greenland" is extraordinary.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

This was either a terrible or a great time to start reading "Cyclonopedia"

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

At least 16 files have disappeared from the DOJ webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein The Justice Department’s webpage for documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is missing at least 16 of its files a day after they were released.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

there's just something so bleak about the fact that the seemingly apolitical murder of two elderly people by their profoundly ill son becomes a political football before the bodies are even cold

There have been so many jarring and painful and violent depictions of birth and postpartum and motherhood in American film the past few years… I wonder if something happened
