Hegseth’s chief of staff told the Army Secretary he opposed the promotion of a female general to take control of the military district in Washington because President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

I was hot on the heels of a theory positing looksmaxxers as the equivalent of drag queens for straight guys (the performative spectacle of caricatured gender etc.) but queens have far sharper wits and self-awareness.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday

Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

Any complaint about gay sexual content at the Super Bowl that makes no mention of football pants or high-def slow motion replays is impossible to take seriously.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

I left The Washington Post last year, but wrote my love letter in the middle of my time there, in 2015. Everything changed, over my 1st decade there. Then everything changed again, in the decade after this was written. But there were 2 constants: the work & the people. www.mrdanzak.com/blog/10years

Ten years ago today I first reported for work at The Washington Post. Deep Throat had come out a couple days earlier. I might have been wearing a tie. My pants sure as shit didn't fit.

the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.

My heart breaks at the end of the Books section at the Post. So many brilliant people there, especially @roncharles.bsky.social, the most beloved book critic I know. I feel like I should write more about this, but I’m on deadline and trying to finish a freelance piece myself.
