The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

They were cool with the racism, sexism, bigotry, corruption, dismantling of social services and common decency, burning every ally, shooting American citizens in the face in the street, the insurrection, Trump being besties with Epstein etc etc. But once the price of gas got too high it was over.

Stuff like this is very bad - especially because it makes it very hard to *actually* give people their money.

I am so sad to hear of Annie Dillard’s passing. She was an exceptional literary talent - her remarkable “Total Eclipse” changed how I thought writing could be done. My heart goes out to her family and friends. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

Her Thoreau-like account of journeys in the woods, published when she was 28, was the first of many ruminations on life and nature, good and evil.

I’m not sure who is “in the room” advising Platner, but he needs to be told in no uncertain terms that this is unsurvivable. It’s over. The sooner you announce, the better. Show that you care about the people of Maine and America and do the right thing *today*.

I hadn’t even thought of this stunt in the context of the “peeling” until today. Who would have ever suspected that driving a bunch of armored trucks over fresh, uncured sealant might cause it to crack? We must find these vandals and bring them to justice! 🙃

Senator Thom Tillis: “We don’t want to oppose the president just for the sake of opposing the president, but unlike the president, we have a third of our members up for reelection this year..” Gotta love how it's about re-election, not principle. But I guess we knew that.

Today seems like a “good” day for a re-do of my 2017 nuclear football thread. Jokes about Trump and the nuclear codes are well-worn. But most people don’t realize how it all actually works, so I’m going to explain. Warning: you will find this thread distressing.

In light of the #Crypto crash now underway, the only safe haven is my old Trump memecoin. It's worthless and you definitely shouldn't buy any. But many people are saying, with tears in their eyes, “Sir, it's the best rugpull ever” and you can upset the President with a just few $$. $btc #bitcoin

The only truly new information we're getting from the Epstein emails is the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was functionally illiterate. I get some pretty poorly-crafted emails, but I've never seen anything like this. And this dude taught at Dalton?
