A congressman sent his staffer a box with a puzzle inside. Once she put the puzzle together it revealed a hand-written note inviting her on a date to an Adam Sandler show.
Last February, Chris Hayes was talking about slop before it became a buzzword. The MSNBC host and author of "The Sirens' Call" had much to say on how our culture has evolved alongside technology in the age of attention capitalism. 🎧 Listen to the event audio on our podcasts page: buff.ly/LdrQD9l
This just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.
Per my Grateful Dead post yesterday, I’m excited to listen to this: www.npr.org/series/g-s1-...
The Ripple Effect: The Grateful Dead's long, strange trip might keep going forever
This summer marks a moment of transition in the Grateful Dead's long, strange trip: the first in many years where there is no clear center of the band's universe. Where do Deadheads go from here?

They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time
Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterdayin insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
There were 37 homicides in the city last month, the lowest total for any such month dating back to at least 1970. That total is down 18% compared to July 2025, and is less than half the totals of July 2020 and 2021, which each saw more than 100 killings.

lol just asked Bernie if Michael Harrington was right and he was wrong about working inside the Democratic Party. (He didn’t really answer)
It’s taken me 47 years, but some kind of switch flipped this year and I’ve gotten really into the Grateful Dead. www.npr.org/2026/08/03/n...
How long will the Grateful Dead's songs survive?
The Grateful Dead endured an original run of 30 years, but its appeal has survived just as long in a world where the band no longer exists. The question now is not whether the music will continue, but...

Yes the court is the biggest, clearest, most enduring victory by far (though also something of a fluke of timing/luck.)
Alexander Ross@hardpolitics.bsky.social · 5d agoThree nominees to the Supreme Court. That's a political success, and that's the political success that Hillary Clinton voters were warning everybody about.
Something I think that underlies a lot of debates within the Democratic party and center-left right now is whether or not you think Trumpism has been successful as a political and ideological project. (Not, obviously, whether it's been good or not).
I can tell the bond folks the exact date Kevin Warsh will start advocating for major rate hikes to tame inflation: January 20, 2029
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 5d ago"it’s clear that the bond market reaction wasn’t a judgment on the rate decision itself. It was, instead, a judgment on Warsh." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-bond-m...

The Tate Brothers' Should Be The Trumps' Second Epstein Scandal
The truth is much worse than most people realize, and they knew a lot of it.

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · 6d agoHad the tab open for weeks but finally read the New Yorker's Tate brothers expose. Among many thoughts: that reporting ought to be an existential emergency for MAGA and the international far right, but the reaction is eerily mute due (perhaps) to the decline of reading and weak political opposition.
Remembering how the "Ebola Crisis" was literally *the* most covered news story - consistently framed as though it was a huge embarrassment to Obama - before the 2014 midterms (after which the media totally abandoned the story)
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoThe Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed more than 1,500 people in just over two months, and it is spreading much faster than previous outbreaks, the nation’s health ministry reported on Thursday.
There was a chart floating around, a horizontal bar chart of what people said was their top cost concern with groceries on top as the number 1 that I can’t for the life of me find. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
From latest Navigator poll, word cloud of responses from Trump voters who say they regret their vote
Rapidly becoming convinced that one major immediate impact of AI diffusion is a massive uptick in the sophistication and scale of scams and hacks. Seeing it everywhere.
All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
Seems to me obvious that Trump wants to do to the Fed what he did to DOJ. Only question is whether Warsh will go along and today points towards yes. Financial commentators somewhat understandably reluctant to come to that conclusion, but guys…
It was, in accelerated fashion, a parallel to how living through climate change is making Republicans far worse on emissions & pollution.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoThe Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.
If this were a Greek myth or a bible story we would get a pandemic far worse than Covid this time around and be sinners in the hands of an angry God.

I think it's good that Mamdani is Just Doing Stuff but more people gotta realize that it is not a matter of Will or motivation or whatever but because the NYC Mayor, as an office, is one of the uniquely powerful individual offices you can hold in the United States (seriously)
Nothing will fix this like a day long show trial of….Anthony Fauci
Jenn Agiesta@jennagiesta.bsky.social · last wk.New CNN poll: 73%, a new high, say Trump is not paying enough attention to the country's most important problems.
