Please consider helping out this family. I’ve known Shivam for many years—this is legit.

I was seventeen years old on September 11, 2001. A quarter of a century later, what still stands out to me about that day is how seemingly ordinary people rose to meet such an unimaginable moment.

I spotted an older gentleman wearing a “Don’t blame me, I voted for Trump” shirt at the fair. Why do Republicans act like they’re the opposition even when they control the entire government?

I’m sitting in a restaurant and the rest of this day is ruined. It feels like all the sweetness and sparkles have left with her. Dolly Parton was the kind of human being you aspired to be. It seems so wrong to know we’ll never hear that laugh again. “May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest…”

Less than three weeks before America’s 250th birthday, we have been brought to a level of weakness and humiliation without modern historical precedent—and we have the bumbling, demented fool who sits behind the Resolute Desk entirely to thank for it.

Greatly looking forward to my 42nd birthday and annual weeklong trip to the coast. It’s been an incredibly busy and productive five months at work—I’m eager to spend some time away with my family and begin focusing more on the personal goals I set for myself this year.

📵 The #Iran internet blackout is now in its 53rd day after 1248 hours of disconnection from global networks. As authorities work to develop tiered access for select users and businesses, the human impacts and economic harms of this digital censorship measure continue to spiral.

“This is how it goes, every single time,” Kimmel said. “Trump says something insane. He says, ‘I’m going to kill everybody tomorrow at 5 p.m.’ We all freak out. Then he’s like, ‘You know what, actually, I’ll kill everyone in two weeks.’”

Project Hail Mary is excellent. Highly entertaining and about as true to the book as I reasonably could have expected. My sole complaint is how it brushes over translation. Even a few more minutes could have done this topic greater justice. Anyway, 4.5/5 stars, would recommend!

History will record October 7 as one of the most catastrophic blunders ever made. The IRI’s proxies are crippled. Assad is out of power. Khamenei is dead. The cascade set into motion by that single act of terror is impossible to comprehend—and the dominoes are still falling.

My wife’s best friend has lived in Texas for most of her life. She’s usually bearish on Democrats there. She accurately predicted a narrow loss for Beto in 2018 and Trump’s winning margin in 2020. She says Talarico can win this race.
