This is very close to the contents of a slide in the “welcome to localization” onboarding talk I used to give

I’m old enough to remember when the NYT’s coverage of higher education was being directed by Christopher Rufo, by tweet

Is there a song you love but wish you didn't understand the lyrics to and could just appreciate as a collection of sounds? www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_FS...

I believe we have breaking news in Inside Medicine. I spoke to a member of the FDA vaccine committee who confirmed that the meeting to decide the 2025-2026 flu shot composition was abruptly canceled today. My on-the-record Q&A with the FDA advisor: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/scoop-fda-...

It’s outrageous how much better she is at communicating than almost everyone else who does this

At some point alot of people in the news decided that every American political event happens in a dimension absent of any question of morality and can only be spoken about in terms of who scored a “political touchdown” and not 150,000 additional children going hungry because that’s “fair”

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains? Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

I wrote about the Free Press's shameful decision to publish Hanania's apologia for Nazi salutes www.unpopularfront.news/p/enough

I advise everyone to save this screenshot for later. Never let these fucking clowns live it down for a day.

I spent a non-zero amount of time here mad about the way the NYT frames their stories, but they also have reporters who still break stuff I haven't seen elsewhere, and I appreciate it. It's a big paper.

Excited to learn that there is going to be a deputy director of the FBI who once replied to me in a testy fashion after I tweeted something like "Don Bingbongo" at him.

a lot of american soccer fans are also steve balls

Putting this guy in charge of Oversight instead of AOC seemed like a bad unforced error at the time, but increasingly feels unforgivable

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine ....I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

MLS is so back. Rodrigues scores and has to carry a pitch invading child back to his seat before restarting. San Jose Earthquakes up 3-0 on Real Salt Lake now, and they look like a legit strong team in Bruce Arena’s debut.

Bruce Arena's Quakes blowing the doors off RSL in the Saturday nightcap game got me digging around for old GIFs

NEW: Trump appointees running USAID have just fired about 400 employees who help deliver urgent humanitarian aid in disaster and war zones around the world. This raises more doubts about whether Rubio supports lifesaving aid. Our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

More convinced than ever that senior and elected Democrats might really be misreading the sentiment among their base, and that they could be caught badly flat-footed by their own voters very soon. split-ticket.org/2025/02/21/t...

More and more people I know are despairing about the state of the country and asking me, “is there a really awful soccer team I could watch to help make sense of things?” Friends, I’m so glad you asked: let me tell you about the San Jose Earthquakes. Tonight versus Real Salt Lake, 7:30 pacific.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

I wrote an essay about Walter Benjamin and Blade Runner called “The Work of Art in the Age of Biomechanical Reproduction”

all these GOP reps are going home and getting booed, and meanwhile hakeem jeffries is on a book tour. (it sounds like they’re also booing him outside the book tour stops, at least)

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

If I liked Reacher S1 and didn't make it past episode 4 of S2, should I just skip to S3?

Really hard to read this and not immediately change my display name to "vascular grodin"

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

believing so hard right now---see you guys for game 2

I understand that I'm preaching to the choir here, but it is unbelievable to me the number of people who have been unable to give up X because that's their first taste of anyone listening to them. is this really something you want to be part of?

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

starting a new awards show for journalism where one of the categories is “most cooked”

200+ (combined) to 1 is beyond anything I've ever seen. 20 to 1 is elite.

there's a guy on our local Nextdoor that just comments "I know that guy, he's my web designer" on every photo of a spider that gets posted. he is the only person using social media correctly
