I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

What Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard 'Choosin' Texas'

Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.'

Sept. 25, 1926: The New York Yankees clinch the American League pennant with a 10-2 win over the St. Louis Browns, and will face the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series starting Oct. 2. With a mighty lineup led by Babe Ruth, who hits 3 home runs in today's doubleheader, the Yanks are favorites.

And for the record, I don't think literal "apocalypse" is a likely outcome of either AI or CC, but the hyperfocus on that singular outcome in both realms makes far more plausible, and possibly still very bad, outcomes short of human extinction *more* likely, not less.

Gotta love the idea contained in here that outdoor dining spaces are making it harder for teachers driving in from Long Island to park in Queens. I doubt many school buildings also have ground-floor restaurants.

This human extinction stuff is so off-the-wall. Why don't we start by worrying about whether AI will be used to systematically drain everyone's 401(k)s and savings accounts, or be given operational control over weapons systems, before we get to existential angst?

It really sucks that killing someone is basically legal in this country if you do it with your car

A Virginia driver who struck and killed a pedestrian less than three months ago had his case dismissed Thursday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and completing 20 hours of community service.
On June 18, the driver of a Prius jumped the curb of a Leesburg Pike service road near Seven Corners and fatally hit 38-year-old Sean King.

I hesitate to over-learn anything from a single example, but Ossoff is a good argument for theory that people want a liberal who fights and this often gets missed in the spineless centrists vs. unelectable leftists discourse.

So thoughtful of your parents to put together their very own fall tv preview! Read it here: www.newyorker.com/humor/shouts...

Shouts & Murmurs
Your Parents’ Fall TV Preview
By Josh Gondelman
Published 9/17/2026

A photo of an older white couple sitting on a couch watching tv.

“North of South of the Border” on Paramount+

Welcome to El Paso, where men are men and women are cast mostly in nonspeaking roles. Taylor Sheridan’s latest drama stars Mel Gibson as a Border Patrol agent who feels conflicted about his work because his bosses won’t let him arbitrarily deport Jews and Greek people. Sheridan’s shows currently take up so much of Paramount’s programming that there isn’t enough time in the day to air “North of South of the Border” as its own hour-long drama. It appears exclusively in snippets on television sets that characters are watching within the show “Landman,” which your parents refer to as “Yellowstone.”

“Tendershire Farms” (Season 18) on BritBox
Maude Tendershire (Olivia Gingerbottom) works as the caretaker for her family’s historic chamomile farm. That’s about it. The show is so cozy and soothing that the actors frequently fell asleep during takes and can be spotted snoozing in the background. This season, low-jinx ensue after Lord Gilderoy (Hankleton Dunderthorpe III) stops by for a visit, but he’s already eaten so he doesn’t stay for tea. A lamb wanders off but soon returns. And for one entire episode, a gentle breeze rustles the branches of a weeping willow tree as an inaudible conversation takes place nearby.

“Dr. Shaft, M.D.” on Fox
An underground facility known as Drive Shaft, Maryland, is home to the Washington, D.C. metro area’s most cutthroat drag-racing scene—and there’s a new driver tearing up the quarter-mile track. Other gearheads know him as Smooth J., but at his day job, at the Foggy Bottom Urology Clinic, Jason Shafterton goes by Dr. Shaft. Will his addiction to fast driving undermine his commitment to providing affordable penile health care to residents of our nation’s capital? Only time will tell. Your parents really aren’t that interested in the racing scenes or, frankly, the medical stuff. But your mom refuses to miss an episode because the show stars Daveed Diggs from the original cast of “Hamilton.”

A lot of Dems could take a lesson from this and openly acknowledge that their opponents are bigots. The resistance (mostly from establishment centrists) to stating plainly what's happening instead of using weasel words for the sake of civility is what makes voters think we're spineless.
