if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

My sister!
Currently watching the super weird assembly cut of ALIEN3. Starring a mess of British character actors and Charles S Dutton as you have never seen him before.
Excited that InfoWars has switched sides in the infowars
YES THIS
This is a very good joke.
Man, no kidding. Channel 20 and pre-Fox Chanel 5 ran those after church on Sunday.
I was looking at a tv at the tail end of this and yes, everything I learned about the 30s and 40s was newspaper strip reprints, comics and afternoon regional television.
This is what they’re gonna remember you for: a spectacular Patti Smith book and extremely good laundry advice
Yeah both of those are just facts.
No question and I sti don’t know why. Why mattresses? What is it about them as a commodity? Surely someone has done this story.
Me too. (Thanks, Bill James!)
New Coke was bad on purpose. This served two purposes: 1) to stimulate demand for original Coke, which led to the extremely successful launch of Coca-Cola Classic; 2) to allow The reintroduced Coke Classic to have corn syrup instead of sugar without people having access to original Coke to compare

This really has become the definitive version of this song, like the live “I Want You to Want Me.”
Maybe menswear a guy has some advice. Respect to the nation of @dieworkwear.bsky.social

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
Men who are able to wear sweaters under sport coats indoors: how do you do this? Do you just never sweat? I would last until MAYBE lunch.
Cover of forthcoming book by Alex Pappademas and Joan LeMay, titled FRIENDS OF THE DEVIL: WEST TEXAS COWBOYS, BROWN-EYED WOMEN, AND OTHER SUNSHINE DAYDREAMERS FROM THE SONGS OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD
Just discovered that the new Grateful Dead project from the collaboration of legends Alex Pappademas and Joan LeMay is officially dropping in November. Look at this glorious cover. Preorder this one from your favorite bookstore.
For a while, there was a guy flicking holy water at certain Instagram reels, and praying in Arabic, something about the evil eye or demons I think
Yes, the prayers should begin
Incredible
Absolutely no one who worked, as Rich Lowry and I have, in the basement publications lab in Peabody Hall on the U-Va. grounds is qualified to lecture the Pope on the Bible.
Except maybe for @timothyjfox.bsky.social … but even there I have massive doubts.
Everyone knows this
Pretty frustrating that the New York Times is crediting AP with uncovering the existence of Aadam’s archive when I reported on it 15 months prior. chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...
This woman should be on money or at least a stamp
Ew
NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026.
This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.
