@elonmusk Fuck you, you absolute child.

@bariweiss Right, well, enjoy the clown show you've just ushered in, while the rest of the world looks on in horror and astonishment. Maybe Trump will air-felate the mike at his inauguration, wouldn't that be inspiring for you.

@jessesingal Get out of your own bubble. This has literally nothing to do with Woke issues. It's about enough Americans being too sexist and racist to feel comfortable, and others being too casual about following actual news to do anything but vote for a known brand.

[Patricia Pearson @pearsonspost]

@ben_rosen Oh, as opposed to Trump air-felating his microphone, and whining about polls. Got it.

@KBAndersen I dunno, ughhewitt kinda works.

Humans have always sensed the ghosts of loved ones. It’s only in the last century that we convinced ourselves this was a problem, writes @pearsonspost:

@FilmmakerJulie Same. And I'm sorry to have to do it, because they have great feature writing, but a line in the sand here.

NEWS

The editor of the Los Angeles Times editorial page has resigned after the owner blocked the editorial board from moving forward with an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”

Here’s me receiving an outpouring amount of affection during the “day of love”—January 6, 2021.

@AbigailShrier So, you fervently support the sociopathic grifter who accuses legal immigrants of eating pets because...why? And you wrote a book about mental health, but clearly don't understand the implications of pathological illness in Trump? You don't get it, or you're blind?

[Patricia Pearson @pearsonspost]

@RealVinnieJames @msoctoberrocks @reshmasaujani @realDonaldTrump Yeah, but he didn't. So maybe he's not capable anymore of thinking politically and strategically, so. And also, "sleazy"? She was asking a question about child care policy. Could you maybe come up with a less sexual denunciation?

[Patricia Pearson @pearsonspost]

@coldwartwodotO @tribelaw Emotional support? You have some inside scoop I'm unaware of, or is that just your presumptive sexism showing?

@mental_floss I saw him perform that at a bar in Toronto. I feel some kind of blessed. Played the recording at my sister's funeral four years later.

"Trump’s deteriorating ability to clearly communicate is a consequential feature of his 2024 candidacy… it’s all the more clear as he now faces off against 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris."

[Patricia Pearson @pearsonspost]

@AbigailShrier So, what are you gunning for here, Abigail? You're too smart not to have noticed that Trump is a morally and intellectually bankrupt criminal whose sole impulse is grift and adulation. You know this. Two-thirds of his previous administration has abandoned him. What do you want?

Big news! A team of former @natgeo editors and contributors (@Rachael_Bale @OlliePayneHere @rebersole) has started a new investigative wildlife journalism nonprofit called WIRE. Incredible that they are continuing this important work: https://t.co/xzZM4wDiLF

@jessesingal Could you provide a baseline for cringe worthy and not a natural stage presence, because I don't see your issue, here. Like, you could lose the caveats and still raise your question.

[Patricia Pearson @pearsonspost]

@zarathustra5150 @AbigailShrier God forbid that anyone should point out that American "energy" is not exclusively fossil fuels, and that today was the hottest day globally ever recorded. Jesus, this shouldn't be so hard to get across.

@RightThinking17 @igorbobic So, she was a senator, and so is J.D. Vance. Um...?
