Cultural anxiety and Japan\'s immigration pains www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2... How to write about racism without using the word “racism”. 🙄

After all the shit that Trump has done for the last 10 years, the bridge too far for Rand Paul was getting uninvited to a picnic.

The New York Times headline writers now call groups like the AMA and the College of Physicians and Surgeons "pro-vaccine groups." They get more preposterous with each passing day.

You know what’s annoying? Gavin Newsom is standing up and putting himself on the line. And the political press has to frame it as campaigning for president. Maybe he would like to be president, but that’s not really the point right now.

The dumbest.

June 11, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... @hcrichardson.bsky.social shows us that 38% of Americans don't care WHAT Trump does, as long as it's in support of white supremacy.

Huckabee Says Muslim Nations Should Give Their Own Land for Palestinian State www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/w... Knucklehead ...

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

With Sirens Screeching and Explosions in the Sky, Kyiv Struggles to Sleep www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/w... Difficult to imagine that the BBC was broadcasting stories during the Blitz about the difficulties Londoners were having getting a good night's sleep during German air raids ...

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

sports.yahoo.com/mlb/breaking... Wow.

California is #2 in life expectancy. Alabama is #49

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

sports.yahoo.com/nba/breaking... The tl;dr: "You don’t fire Thibodeau with three years and $30 million on a contract extension that won’t kick in until next season because you lose in the conference finals. You fire Thibodeau because you want to." #knicks

Damian Williams, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, is leaving the law firm Paul Weiss to join the Jenner & Block firm.   He's defecting from a firm that struck a deal with the Trump admin and joining one that fought Trump's retribution efforts in court.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/640... Chisholm is correct about his own position. He doesn’t have the leverage that Devers has to be selfish. But Devers is not a guy you want as a teammate. A guy who will do whatever it takes to win. Trade him to a team that wants a poor-fielding third baseman.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

It’s on record.

www.military.com/daily-news/2... Just as disgusting as we have come to expect from this administration. 🏳️‍🌈 #harveymilk

The dumbest.

Read? The Gazpacho Police and Peachtree Dish lady?

www.nytimes.com/athletic/639... Why? Because FIA is in the pocket of its sponsors. What many people don't understand about professional sport is that it is the entertainment business. The show must go on. Organizers and administrators don't care about anything else. Keep the money train moving.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/639... As I wrote the other day, the guy is a dangerous asshole, but to the New York Times, he’s just got a “champion’s mindset”. FIA won’t sanction him meaningfully, because … sponsors … and they have already stolen one championship from Lewis Hamilton to give to him. 😡

No, it's not The Onion ...

Here's a New Yorker writer on Curtis Yarvin, influential "thinker" for the Trump administration. Yarvin suggests "buying" North Korea, but almost certainly this deal was offered by President Obama when Kim Jong-un acceded to power: "Take the money and run, allow a democratic vote." And Kim said no.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/639... Unquestionably a great driver, but at the same time, without doubt a colossal asshole and a dreadfully poor sportsman … this has been true since he made his debut.

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.
