come live with me in chicago. i am normal. you can touch all my stuff i probably won't care. you can borrow books for sure

Western supporters of Israel increasingly either don't know what they're backing or are actively lying about it.

Excited for the sequel to ISRAELISM

Pro-Israel groups are weaponizing the killing of 2 Israeli embassy staffers in DC to smear the entire Palestine movement as antisemitic.

We need a liberal Jigsaw

this shitstorm has single-handedly underlined everything very very wrong with the state of arts journalism, and i hope that it leads to some major changes. like giving me a job. not only will i write interesting things, but i will write them myself :)

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

i met Anna at IND/EX last year and she is the real deal, using her skills and platform to speak up for the oppressed.

really bummed that colin jost wasn't summarily executed on live tv last night

trump cut a quarter trillion dollar deal with hamas’ primary funders but if you merely say palestinians have a right to resist enshrined in international law, you’re a terror supporter

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

if you or anyone you know is confused about why people say "the democrats are useless"

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

grwm to go see a regional production of cats

@nogodsnomayors.com chicago.suntimes.com/religion/202... thoughts on the Pope being from Henyard's old stomping grounds?

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

Chicago, City of the World

my jewish agnostic ass is sitting here listening to conclave coverage with bated breath.... this is on you, mr. fiennes

I say this with all the kindness in my heart: If you care about this, you have strayed perilously from the path towards nirvana

as a wise man once said, "'im not owned! im not owned!!', i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob."

www.simplerandwithmorelaughter.com/clown-is-mor... Wrote a little something about GARY at Redtwist and whether or not comedy has a place in politics

viral marketing for the tim robinson movie is out of control

www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st... i love this. interview someone who has no idea why she's famous and ask her questions that she doesn't have an answer to so her publicist can just say "we're not answering that". something really classic about this.

Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

reading the HHS "gender dysphoria report" summary and this is some truly insidious shit. sure, all the studies SAY the kids are happier, but we bet they aren't actually. they're all hopped up on something we bet probably

of course, mulholland drive, with its classic american value of dissociating so hard you don't know if you're awake or dreaming and lose track of your identity and actions, is the exemplar of conservatism
