Oh, ffs. Resign and make room for someone who can meet the moment.

Make sure you get a rijstaffel. Amsterdam might remind you of Ghent, but with way more tourists, and the smell of weed and urine all over the center. Stay out of the congested areas and it’s lovely.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

Who let him appear before Congress with his tie looking like that? I mean, let’s have SOME standards, even if we accept bestiality isn’t a dealbreaker.

Happy #caturday from Kitten, who likes few things better than getting in the way of my kettlebells.

Great job, MAGA. Solid work.

My daughter sent a letter from camp addressed to “Mom and Dad” with a street number that doesn’t exist on our street. It got to us.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

He’s right. When I lived in the Midwest, we used to dig up corn dogs fresh from the ground. So tasty!

There are four overlapping scandals here: 1. Fundraising spam tactics are hallmarks of elder financial exploitation 2. The Dem establishment is in on it 3. Most of what is raised goes to fundraising consultants 4. Capitulation to legal threats by NYT and The Bulwark on a fully vetted story 🧵👇

Hook and Squeeze

How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

Expect to see more of this as the administration’s war on international students hits home.

It would help a lot if a lot of journalists and pundits weren't using Twitter as their assignment editor, several years into its transition into Stormfront.

One of my favorite cities. Kind of like Amsterdam without the ubiquitous smell of weed and urine.

Eric Fidler @handle.invalid · 07/07/2026

Yes. Seemed a little too complicated for me in my little skeet, but I thought of working that in. Same with when they say some did “had sex with” a minor. Ugh.

Censorship laws? There’s no law against using the word “rape” in a news story. Or elsewhere. It was a choice by the news organization.

Eric Fidler @handle.invalid · 07/07/2026

Hmmm. Is there a word for “forced her to have sex?”

Pray if you’re so inclined. Check out the availability of later flights in advance. It’s gonna be tight. It took an hour in Zurich for passport control the other day.

So, wait. There’s a super-secret deal that’s different from the MOU they released? Do we give Iran its choice of one of the Dakotas in that deal? Stupid ending (if this is then end) to a pointless war.

A helpful reminder that the far-right are the bullies from the school. The people who blame everyone else for their own failings. They don't care about women and children, they beat them. They don't care about society or culture. They are sad little insecure wankers, and they are in the minority.
