If the Paradise season finale doesn’t have a plaintive, acoustic, boygenius-esque cover of David Lee Roth’s “Just Like Paradise” over the closing credits, Dan Fogelman’s music direction strategy will have completely failed.

Subscribe to Marisa's newsletter! She is doing holy work for democracy and humanity, totally independently, and I want her to make so much money from it that she can take a fucking week off every once and a while because she sure will need it.

Honestly confused why reporters are bothering to participate and legitimize the sham of these press conferences.

If you're curious how a democracy transitions from a free press to state-run media, this is the kind of step you'd expect to see.

It’s a little more difficult to find an audience now that I’m off Substack, so could you share with friends who like books and shit-talking?

The Sunday night announcement that Dan Bongino would be the new FBI deputy director and join the newly confirmed director Kash Patel marked an almost certainly permanent alteration of the fabric of the institution. My new column: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/an-obituar...

I had to frog 1/3 of a sweater this weekend and start over for a third time. I misread the chart. I grumbled about the wasted work but realized that starting over meant that I would make something I would actually wear instead of plowing through so I could say I was done. This is not a metaphor.

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB

This is true. If you think “Runaway Train” represents Soul Asylum, you are missing out. Also, the first time I heard the Hold Steady’s “Chillout Tent,” I realized they were geniuses for getting Pirner to sing on it.

If you want to know why Musk is running DOGE the way he is, read Character Limit. He’s literally doing all the same shit to the federal government that he did to Twitter: randomly ripping servers out of the wall, hinging employment on responding to a sweaty late-night email, etc. Because he’s stupid

If you have friends who are now out of a job at NPS, federally-funded historic sites and/or academic depts & who have experience fact-checking 19th century American history, I will be hiring a freelancer sometime in the next 12 months. Feel free to have them email [email protected].

Medicaid estate recovery has the government going after the estates of people after they die to squeeze as much money out of them as possible, sometimes with ludicrously huge bills.

If you want to know how my week is going, I’m off to the hardware store to get an auger and various chemicals to dislodge a clog in the septic main line. (Please do not explain plumbing to me. I am not using these all at once. I’m stocking up in case this happens again.)

people really need to start understanding that Musk is a paper billionaire, who only has access to a fraction of his wealth in liquid cash... this is step one in understanding how to resist his influence and fight back against it

This is especially infuriating because it’s already an issue. From drug trials to crash tests, women have been an afterthought. Caroline Criado-Perez wrote a fantastic book about it.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...
