Adversarial media is badly needed right now but outlets are largely frozen by a sad mix of cowardice and existential fear. These are crummy times but it can actually be a lot worse. I really need my industry to throw some punches.

Seems like saving Democracy is going to come down to a handful of GOP representatives more afraid of a mob of angry seniors in their district than one angry senior in the White House.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

I'm so glad that my colleague next door agrees the Ways & Means Committee would be a proper place to scrutinize DOGE. Lord knows both mine and Congressman Fitzgerald's constituents want to know what they’re doing with Wisconsinites sensitive personal information. Americans want answers.

Exactly. Musk is an evil, sociopathic piece of shit, to be sure, but he’s also bone-stupid. Extraordinarily dumb. Like Trump, his main superpower is shamelessness to an almost surreal level.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I kinda believe the whole point of life is to just make stuff together and for each other. Food, shelter, tools, games, medicine, art, love, babies, all that good stuff. We were like... born to make things.

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

I will never forgive Netflix for being so devoted to the core essences of white characters like Daredevil and Punisher (and Jessica Jones) while caring so little about Luke Cage that they made him 1) Middle class 2) From Georgia 3) A COP!

One thing to remember is that every single economic advance of the Progressive movement, whether anti-trust or banking or transportation, flew in the face of the prevailing social darwinism. Hence, the "Republican Hamlet" character type who brooded over an elite vision of an egalitarian society.

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Not the primary culprit, but it’s also supremely & mortifyingly embarrassing for administrators of the Carter library to agree to cancel events like this. What’ll happen if they don’t? They test bluff? a presidential library is shut down by the White House, which has its own political opportunity?

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.
