I hope Ken Burns is making a documentary about the final weeks of the people and creative energy and goodness in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Since Harry Potter is in the news, this is a good excuse to repost one of my favorite Mark McGurl essays. Hogwarts is a technical school. No pondering the meaning of life here!

Losing an hour of time/sleep on International Women's Day feels like the most on brand thing this world has to offer.

compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

So let me get this right.
The US can find and kill a leader of a foreign country halfway around the world.
But they can't find any of the paedophiles and child traffickers from the Epstein list and arrest any of them in their own country?

John Oliver did a brutal exposé of how Elon Musk destroyed Twitter and turned X into a cesspool of right-wing misinformation.

Oliver hasn't posted in over a year: "I will be going back there tomorrow to post a link to this piece before going silent again."

Worth a watch.

It's about to explode y'all. Donald J. Trump, the sitting president of the United States, is a motherfucking pedophile — and it's being purposely covered up by AG Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Department of Justice. 😳👇

I cannot believe that it’s America’s 250th and we’re again fighting against taxation without representation from a (wannabe) King. We’ve really come full circle, haven’t we?

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

Yes, they should. 🇺🇸

Topol: The same thing occurs with all these wellness influencers—the latest being Peter Attia. There are hundreds and hundreds of these so-called longevity hackers. One cardinal rule I have is this: if somebody is selling something, they have no credibility. Zero.

Looking forward to another Winter Olympics where the most talked about Ice Dance routine is gonna be this one from 8 years ago👇

The United States will go down in history as the nation that imprisoned more of its own people than anywhere else on Earth but could not summon the courage to put one rich white man in prison, even to save itself as a nation or to preserve its position in the world.

Scientists recently placed a 10-piece set of matching Tupperware in a sealed chamber.
When they opened it a month later, the chamber had 24 lids that did not match any of the 6 remaining containers.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: https://t.co/5dfrkByGyX

@NewsHour Nooo! Don’t go! I need your clarity and depth and humanity!

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Not George W. Bush. Not the vast majority of Republicans in Congress. Not the Generals. Not conservatism Inc. Not the big law firms. Not the tech oligarchs. Not the media conglomerates who need their mergers.

Jerome Powell. A man who refuses to be intimidated.

This is a brilliant summary of the public education crisis in America‼️ Love the passive aggressive “hon” 😂 Paul‼️

It can be all of these reasons: pride, selfishness, narcissism, lack of imagination and empathy.

[Karen Swallow Prior (Notorious KSP) @KSPrior]

Do people who have extramarital affairs not read Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, The Awakening, or even watch Fatal Attraction? Or read about King David? It never, never ends well. Are affairs the sins of a literacy problem, a pride one, or a problem of an impoverished imagination?

This is a good explainer from a teacher about Venezuela they actually posted this last month

@SouthDallasFood Nothing in the world quite as sad as a person who has gone through his entire life convinced they are a genius & no one appreciates them
