Americans have never been angrier with one another. But polarization is not the disease—it is the response to a revanchist movement seeking to roll back sixty years of social progress. 🆕 by @lilymasonphd.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/a...

With it being domestic violence awareness month, I want to send love to anyone quietly making their plans, who already tried but wasn’t ready, who feel stuck, who don’t know how to yet voice what’s happening, and those who already got out, continue to bet on yourself and your power. Keep going ❤️

Garnet is absolutely right here. More than that, #SCOTUS has made it clear, over and over again, that it is not going to let states use its "original" jurisdiction to sue other states in contexts in which the underlying question *can* be litigated in the lower federal courts. This is one of those.

Yeah, I’ve been in this industry long enough that I’ve seen data to show this. Trauma books and issue books by marginalized authors sell an order of magnitude better than when those authors write, say, fantasy romance with characters of their identity.

The fact that Schmitt’s team alerted the media to be ready for drama is the part that too few of you are focusing on. I did PR for years. It would have been a big deal, had it proceeded as planned. That it didn’t, for the precise reasons it didn’t, is revelatory. It speaks to incompetence.

Public anger comes for John Roberts The chief justice’s summer retreat in Maine used to be one of boating, potluck dinners, touch football and easy friendships. Locals called him “John.” Now a swirl of anger has been rising at him, transforming his getaways. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

Summer 2006
I see An Inconvenient Truth in the theater and feel anxious
Fall 2011
I get married

I'm sure it wasn't the first time it happened, but this was the first time I noticed the pattern where conspiracy theorists declare complete vindication on the basis of LEAKED SECRET DOCUMENTS that even more strongly prove that they are wrong.

I'm repairing an old beloved book for my sister, and sighhhh do you remember when hardcovers were actually still properly sewn together and had nice fabric on the covers, not just a block of glued-together pages wedged too tightly into paper-covered cardboard? This is from the 70s

Close up of the spine end of a book block out of its cover. You can see how neatly the signatures have been sewn together

Will Bunch is why I subscribe to the Philly Inquirer. Here he calls out the media for (once again) sane washing Trump, in probably the most egregious case of all – his profoundly and dangerously unhinged speech to the UN last week. It's a 5-alarm fire folks. But you wouldn't know it reading the NYT.
