For the better part of a year, I've been looking into the night LaGuardia Airport was bombed. I'd appreciate it if you'd give it a read. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It’s One of the 20th Century’s Greatest Cold Cases. But What Happened Next Is Almost a Worse Crime.
When I began contacting the survivors, they thought I was a prank caller.

I’ve been off social media for the summer but I thought of a hilarious joke this past weekend that I keep telling people IRL. And today, someone accused me of stealing that joke from the internet so I logged on and I….

I never thought Feenstra could pull it off. Even his own party hated him.

No one is taking shots at you and it’s not my job to answer for Tureks transphobia. I’m talking about something completely different. Be well.

Yes Turek throwing trans people under the bus sucks. The “democratic” gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand has done it multiple times. And also, if Zach Lahn gets the GOP nomination, Rob Sand will actually have to fight and that’s going to be interesting to watch.

I have a lot of queer friends who live and work here and are building families here. Live wherever you want to but also don’t look down on other places

I’m not endorsing Turek as a candidate. I don’t think he will win. I’m telling you this election wasn’t about what the national media narrative is telling you it was about. It was not a referendum on progressive politics it was just about Iowans wanting to win.

Me either. But also I wish our democratic candidate for governor hadn’t done it either.

Plus, get real. This is Iowa no one here cares about Schumer, Dems just want to win. Now, I don’t think they can win against Ashley Hinson. But it’s worth a shot.

And if you live here, you knew there is no chance that a politician from Johnson county who has barely even faced a contested election and who has pissed off the party early on in his career with unforced errors was going to be competitive in the general.

Despite flyover narratives from pundits and journalists the senate primary in Iowa was not about Schumer v progressives. Few Dems in the state buy Wahls as an outsider. He’s been an insider since he was a teen. What this race was about was winning. Iowans picked the person they thought could win.

I just want to point out to people 1. I address why I didn’t name Howard in the comments below. Don’t mistake it as kindness or compassion. 2. Any mid internet sleuth could find his name in 20mins or less.

EXCUSE ME?
Snipped of the linked article, "While they were chatting, Emily recalls that an older man walked up to them. 'I don't want to be derogatory,' he began. The Rebollozos are a two-mom family, and Iowa is a deep-red state, with anti-LGBTQ book bans in schools. Emily braced herself. Then the man looked at the baby in Crooks' arm and said, 'Your baby's ugly.'"

I thought a lot about it & talked with Emily (the mom) about it too. But in the end, I didn’t want any potential outpouring of himpathy to cloud the narrative. I wanted the focus to stay on Kam. & I wanted it to highlight bigger issues than just what Howard did but how all the men acted

This story involves an Iowa tshirt company, a basketball star, a Boston Globe reporter, online trolls who piss on walls, a lot of toxic masculinity and a lot of insight into the state of men. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

why write love letters to a murderer when you can just form a full relationship with his digital approximation? that's the kind of innovation in parasocial attachment only AI makes possible.

At a grad party today & a kid flagged me down to tell me some random college was trying to recruit her for music & she googled & saw I was like “their only notable alumni” on their Wikipedia and that made me sad because she’s clearly never heard of Peter Krause and the best TV show of all time
