The Dennis Hastert saga is a reminder of the danger of electing non-lawyers to high office: they have no idea how to properly encloset their skeletons.

love Discerning whether someone is someone for whom I have to pretend I know the answers to things or someone in whom I can confide the frustrations of always being expected to know the answers to things no one else knows the answers to and which don’t usually even have answers

I’ve been reporting on the CDC for years, and have written about many of its troubles over the past year. I was still shocked by the extent of the staff losses and political interference I found when reporting this one. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

I’ve spent the last year and a half making choices as though we’ve got maybe five relatively usable years left before the civilization starts to actually unravel, bc the thing we rarely discuss but is accelerating rapidly. And it has been, without question, the happiest period of my life.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his armsArticle screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

Hearing from Trumpists and their fellow travelers today, I've come to realize that if we build a huge, gilded ballroom at every elementary and secondary school in America, our schoolchildren will be so much safer from the scourge of constant gun violence.

Put it this way—if turns out Trump has a method to funnel these unhinged young men into shooting at him with the aim of Tanya McQuoid, then I’ll also believe VP Bush got Hinkley to shoot Reagan. But until I see evidence, gotta push back on “staged” Please share: open.substack.com/pub/kmeggles...

This is where Orbán found himself. That he chose to concede defeat does not annul the fact that he had built an authoritarian regime of a particular kind; it just means he realized he no lacked good options for staying. Moreover, the Fidesz regime could still survive Magyar's victory.

Any Hemingway fans out there? I’m considering doing a short film of The Three Day Blow (to guys get drunk on whiskey and talk abt literature & breakups & fathers while enacting homoerotic/homosocial bonding rituals), but as if directed by the love child of Tom Ford & Luca Guadagnino.
