Why are heroines in romantasy always nauseated? Girls, you’ve got magic and dragons and shadow daddies, but no GI specialists?

Hey academia: This is it. This your Indiana Jones, punch a Nazi, Han Solo, flying in to assist the destruction of the Death Star moment. Stand up, fight back, hang together. Cowardice is not the path to the future

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Planes falling out of the sky, funding cut for curing kids’ cancer, a drug-addled billionaire ruining the government, an addled idiot ruining the economy, but sure, senate dems, let’s just vote for the bill that empowers all their nonsense! That’s leadership. Time to primary the gerontocracy

MSNBC ending Joy Reid’s show and Crooked Media doing interviews with Bad Men with Bad Ideas sure feels like that whole obeying in advance thing. What are we doing here, liberal media?!

Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service claimed this week to have saved an estimated $55 billion through a combination of layoffs, canceled contracts, lease renegotiations and other actions. But a list that it posted of contracts and leases suggests that number is inflated.

Friends in higher ed, give this a read. Chilling and infuriating, this is a sign of things to come. Don’t forget: complying early just opens the door for worse things down the road

So are educators spork-wielding illiterate uggos or are they skilled agents doing the Manchurian Candidate on kids to make them less hateful? Asking so I can prepare the ed majors in my classes appropriately 🙄

Listen, there were some really interesting candidates for the DNC chair. Then there’s Ken Martin. This stink like AOC not getting leadership positions on important committees. What is wrong with our party?

A little over a week out from the election and I’m already exhausted by the postmortems. My view, it’s pretty simple: sexism and racism. Think about who had what “economic policies” and who was a felon and who sicced a mob on the capitol. This was not about “economy”
