Long line to get into my dental appointment, because security is quizzing everyone to see if they have any measles symptoms. Things are going great!

we should normalize the social shaming of bad people. sorry you don't think your Maine summers are as idyllic as they used to be, John Roberts. but you sold democracy to the highest bidders among your friends you don't get to summer without sometimes seeing a kayaker with a poster that says you suck

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

Right? In the eighth photo, the straps are on the inside, I guess to wear the coat draped over your shoulders, but secure. Wish more women's clothing had details like this.

Love all the pockets and built-in ways to carry stuff hands-free — even straps to carry the coat itself around.

Great reporting on a story where everything is awful: local cops collaborating with ICE, a family without its dad, a congregation without its pastor, US senators coming up empty, a one-way ticket to Haiti.

Just back from a trip to Mt. Desert Island, which has so many mysterious, ancient-looking apple trees now covered with ripe fruit, not just on farms and in yards but isolated along roads and nature trails. Very cool to get a sense of their possible origins from this piece!

John Fetterman’s favorability dips as voters see him more as a Republican than a Democrat
Three quarters of likely Democratic voters view the Pennsylvania senator as more of a Republican in a poll conducted after Fetterman participated in Donald Trump's midterm convention.

Aye yai yai, this thread. Among other points he makes: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar -- three of the most repressive countries in the world -- will own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. What could possibly go wrong?
