My dog, Monte, a black chihuahua mix with white on his toes, belly, and muzzle.
Monte says seize the day.
Being held back by two grown men as I flail and bellow, “How DARE you” and “Have you no SHAME.”
This morning in San Francisco I saw someone wearing a “Google UX team” hat, and honestly I felt like I needed someone to restrain me.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
For this Patreon-episode of @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social, @moiradonegan.bsky.social and I talked about Kristi Noem and gender politics in the age of government functionaries as content creators www.patreon.com/posts/episod...
When I am queen, a lifetime in a cage for everyone who ever sent a fundraising email under the name “James Carville.”
How can I possibly be expected to function under these conditions (time change of one hour)?
We used to make things in this country (meth).
Lent is like “I really understand Christ’s sacrifice at the crucifixion better now that I gave up takeout for five weeks.”
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
This is the dream!!!
Once at a diner on the Upper West Side I overheard a French woman telling her friend that she only slept with married men, because the unmarried ones were too needy. Most French possible conversation. I swear I could hear La Marseillaise playing faintly in the distance …
(Tbh somehow I never overhear people speaking in French who are not doing this.)
One of the great pleasures of my life is to know *just* enough French that I can tell when people I overhear in public are talking shit.
Really kind of morally offensive how much contempt these people have for curiosity.
It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."
But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.
They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

You should not under any circumstances send your kid to Bard.
Ha! Unfortunately I am too anti-rape to hang out with Botstein’s donors.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear that their own comfort is more important to them than opposing rape.
You’d think paling around with the pedophile sex trafficker would be disqualifying, but apparently to these people it isn’t.
Another headline here is “Bard faculty declines to call for Leon Botstein’s resignation over Epstein ties.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Good riddance to Kristi Noem. Her replacement won’t be an improvement | Moira Donegan

Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
No, it’s a joke that mocks feminism and implies a link between feminism and imperialist wars of aggression that is not in evidence. Just because you can’t engage in a critique of humor doesn’t mean I have to assume that all of my readers are so literal-minded.
