being the only one in my fantasy football league to watch vikings games has paid off with drafting will reichard last week knowing he’s the only player actually scoring lately
that trump commercial is chilling, we’re in a very precarious spot here
at first i was like why is vivek ramaswamy trying to pick up a resisting child and then was like oh right, republican
i love being in my 40s. do not be afraid of it, your power only grows.
if women can be punished for miscarriages then men should have to get a vasectomy at puberty or face the same punishment.
my mom texted the family group chat to let us know she sent us an email
They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.
SCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November @washingtonsun.com www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/ab...
Kristi Noem characterized Renee Good as a “domestic terrorist” — and and Lisa Demuth thanked her
During the ICE surge, Lisa Demuth signed a letter thanking ICE and praising Kristi Noem for her "steady leadership."
Cop is subject of community complaints (including for punching a driver in the face during a traffic stop). Local newsroom files a public records request about him. Eugene, Ore says sure thing, that’ll cost $2.5 million and take at least 44,000 hours to complete. My latest for @theintercept.com:
Oregon Police Are Charging a Local News Outlet $2.5M for Records About One Cop
Eugene-based Double Sided Media requested police officer Justin Peckels’s records. The city slapped the publication with an exorbitant fee.

The MSM has committed malpractice by not reporting that Trump is demented and insane. He falls asleep in most of his appearances in the Oval Office. He is literally incoherent. Why aren’t they interviewing doctors and specialists about Trump‘s incompetent mental state?!
His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist
I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
Every mayor in America should be asked what they are going to do to ensure civilian control of our police forces, and what they will do to officers or departments that break the law.
New: We obtained witness videos and surveillance footage showing ICE parking their cars, arresting an observer, and transferring detainees in parking lots across 4 of Chicago's police districts. Local officials have tried banning ICE from city property. But incidents in the lots keep stacking up:
one thing kyler murray is better at than most vikings qbs i’ve seen is knowing he can throw the ball away instead of getting sacked
The connections being drawn between the Cornell 7 and Brock Turner bring up something crucial: The outrage at Turner’s insanely light sentence has ultimately made it impossible for him to blend back into society. Where legal redress failed, community stepped in to make sure no one would forget.
ohhhhhh my god someone wrote a song about texas? should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?should we invite greg abbott
For my sins, I see way too much content and even I’ve only encountered the song in glancing and meta ways, like being scolded to acknowledge its popularity. It’s easier to top the charts w/o reaching everybody today bc we don’t have a monoculture, and that’s not the fault of individual consumers.
This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.
continually validated for finding king princess annoying from the start
why do universities and colleges have their own justice system for rape? it happened 20 years ago when i was in school, still happening now. why is rape a “handle it yourself” crime for schools? why *shouldn’t* rape ruin a young man’s life?
one thing i miss about being a small-town arts reporter was getting to be professionally nosy and cold calling people like, “hey i heard you do art can i watch you do art at your house?” and then boom im in some guy’s wood shop watching him build a grandfather clock.
gonna be a lot of this in the near future
"Across the wide-ranging discussion, Carlson repented for his decades as a cable TV partisan, saying he called too much attention to the wrong issues." It would be good to have criteria for attributing "repentance" for decades of behavior beyond saying sorry once. www.npr.org/2026/09/24/n...
it's important to arrive at sturdy ethical principles that you can't be annoyed out of. people are annoying as shit
three of my family members who are nurses have made trips out here from montana intent on seeing this memorial. there are people outside of minnesota who still care about it too, it’s good to remember that.

whenever i buy groceries or really anything anymore, i think about people with kids and don’t understand how they’re surviving this economy
