This guy is an absolute ghoul.

The best human writers aren’t good because their work can be excerpted—they’re good because of the humanity with which their works, as a whole, are imbued. This quiz is dumb as hell.

Picture of steelworkers working with text reading, ‘Most workers pay into Social Security all year long. But millionaires are about to stop paying for the rest of the year! It’s time we scrap the cap.’

Anyone who earns $1 million a year stops paying into Social Security today. It’s not right—the rich should pay into Social Security all year long on all of their income like the rest of us do.

It’s time to scrap the cap so we can protect retirement security for working people.

Here comes the Iranian debt jubilee.

Very cool that “experts” took years to start asking the questions that normal dipshits like me have been asking since LLMs emerged.

Can’t wait to go for an annual checkup and have a physician tell me about the healing powers of shark fin powder.

PLACING A BET SHOULD INVOLVE A DUDE THAT WILL WORK YOU OVER IN AN ALLEY IF YOU FUCK AROUND TOO MUCH AND IM NOT KIDDING.

What evidence I’ve seen—and this isn’t something I’ve done a lot of research on—suggests that some effeminate gay boys believe they may be trans due to homophobia. That is, they’re pushed toward it by bigots, not pulled toward it by so-called “transgender ideology.” Anyway, just let people live.

Worth noting that many millennials did live under nuclear threat—at least rhetorically, which is what matters.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’

ICYMI over the weekend: My colleagues and I reviewed 15,000 documents to put together a detailed account of how Jeffrey Epstein leveraged medical care to manipulate and control victims, and how some doctors enabled that. Gift link:

I’ve been making friends with a couple crows since late last year.

Just eat boiled chicken liver, a piece of broccoli, and one corn tortilla.

Israel responsible for two-thirds of record 129 press killings in 2025, says CPJ Committee to Protect Journalists report says Israel also to blame for 81% of ‘intentionally targeted’ journalist killings * The deadly toll on journalists in the Gaza war A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work in 2025, two-thirds of them by Israeli forces, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). It was the second consecutive year in which killings of members of the press reached unprecedented levels, and the second year running in which Israel was responsible for roughly two-thirds of the total, the New York-based independent organisation, which documents attacks on journalists worldwide, said in its annual report published on Wednesday.

Israel responsible for two-thirds of record 129 press killings in 2025, says CPJ

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

They Were Convicted of Killing Their Abusers. A New Law Offered a Second Chance at Freedom. An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

My latest, with @propublica.org + @nytimes.com:

An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of domestic violence survivors who fought back -- women who are serving long sentences for killing their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

A 19-year-old Palestinian American was killed and four others injured as they tried to stop a group of armed illegal Israeli settlers from stealing their sheep in the occupied West Bank.

Medicine, green energy, efficient public transportation, etc.; you know, technology that does things for actual people.

My least favorite Weezer album.

Love TB; hate spending $20 for just myself at a fast food restaurant.

I did not know that about Rousey. Ugh.

I really don’t think LLMs can do anything reasonably called editing or copy editing. You need a mind that understands intent to do those things (and translation). What LLMs are doing is something different.

And yet they still never let Trump have a team.

ICE Barbie Targets Family of 5-Year-Old Boy That ICE Abducted The Department of Homeland Security has moved to end asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos’s family.

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.

Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.

Now ... they seek revenge.

This has some haters, but I like this. It simultaneously allows me to put myself in a horror movie and makes me want to die. Neat trick.
