I don't want to watch a TV series that's an eight hour movie. I have a baby; movies are already eight hours long.

Every editorial section is now a variation of that old Onion piece: "Democracy is Under Threat and Requires Defending" VS. "No It's Not"

What if, and hear me out, two of the last three presidencies have been uniquely valid targets of impeachment resolutions?

Man, having a six-week-old means I have been absent from five years of posts. Would not say "missed."

Never seen a major newspaper post that was more clearly trolling.

Always strange to me that Democrats assume that moving Right gains them voters but doesn't lose them any. Especially under current conditions.

I started to write up a parody in this form about, say, a murder case, but then I remembered the Times already does this for any racially motivated killing anyway.

AI can save you a lot of time if you need a bunch of information summarized and it's not important to you whether the summary is accurate

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Wild that "Little Girls Have Too Many Dolls" is the universal talking point they've all landed on.

If Biden, who is actually Catholic, posted a picture of himself as Pope there would be a thousand op-eds and cable news hits for months about how it was the most blasphemous thing an American president has ever done and we’d assume he had gone insane.

Helluva story from the Colorado Sun on Yadira Caraveo, the Democratic congresswoman who lost her seat in 2024 after serving one term. She’s running for the swingy CO08 district again in 2026, a top Dem target. Unclear how Dems will play this. coloradosun.com/2025/05/01/y...

When I called a few weeks ago, @duckworth.senate.gov’s staff told me she would no longer vote for any Trump appointments. I don’t appreciate being directly lied to by my senator.

My wife is one of the least online people you can imagine. Today my sister-in-law had to explain "Hawk Tuah" to my wife. Honestly, we didn't even have time to get into the resultant podcast and memecoin fraud. What a better life she leads.

Some things in my life lately: - my adorable howler monkey of a newborn won't sleep in her bassinet, so we're on shift duty - Started Clair Obscur today and me and baby are loving this extremely French JRPG - I was thrilled for junk food post-baby, but now a grain bowl with fresh veggies is peak
