a few years ago, references to Simon of Trent or Leo Frank trutherism were a sign that someone was an intensely Christian and/or Neo-Nazi right-wing antisemite but now formerly-normal lefty politics influencers who stayed on Twitter casually reply to Mamdani with 15th century blood libel posts

It's a fascinating mistake bc it is rooted in the 100% GOP confidence that there was a coordinated legal attack on Trump from Biden/Garland etc. It follows that Smith must have been colluding with Willis to help her out. The idea that he has integrity and wouldn't do that is off the board.

I really wish there was more civic discourse about Drexel, and Penn, and Temple, being shitty community members. Drexel just trying to vaporize a civic insty-tution that should be there for future generations of Philly kids.

Sen. Eric Schmitt: So you weren’t buying pussy on the night of October 4th, 2024

Jack Smith: Sir, I have never bought pussy in my life.

Schmitt: I bet you think you’re a great guy. But you’re wrong. You’re a pussy buying scumbag.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar: Senator, my records show Mr. Smith was at the humane society on October 4th. He bought a kitty cat.

This is why the protection of an impartial civil service is so vitally important. They are very much the machinery of how the government carries out its will. Elections swap out the brain but the federal workforce is the body.

What Schmitt was trying to do was gotcha Jack smith into perjuring himself. In fact, he gloated that he'd succeeded before discovering that he and his staff had made an absolutely headassed mistake.

This is an underrated point, I think. It’s been asymmetrically distributed across the federal workforce but places like the FBI, they’ve fired people simply for doing the jobs assigned to them, when they happen to be redressing Republican wrongdoing. One of the most corrosive things of all this.

I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...
Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?

Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.

You’re right, that does sound grim.

Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.

I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.

I know there’s many, but I will never be able to understand people who just passively listen to music. The amount of music I listen to, personally, is very limited by that fact, I can’t just put something on to hear white noise.

You sometimes encounter a very smart person who just doesn't care about music and thinks about it as background noise while they code or host dinner parties. Jeff Bezos once famously grabbed a bunch of CDs from a convenience store rack for a road trip, not caring or knowing who the artists were.

Bro, the Pope sent the White Sox letter, they’re going to the World Series.
Letter: 

To Jerry Reinsdorf
Chairman of the Chicago White Sox
was pleased to receive the kind letter that you sent following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February
2026).
In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster
bonds of friendship
and solidarity among
people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Pope Leo XIV

I'm not the audience for the Smith hearing, but the main political issue here is that Republicans want the world to know that Smith subpoenaed congressional phone records as he investigated Jan. 6 etc, and nobody outside the Senate can explain to you why that's bad.

That doesn't mean the proposal is to just take all the money at once. The goal is to create a tax system that encourages the rich to disperse their own money, and that means at ever higher levels of wealth it becomes ever more futile to try to accumulate more.

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking.
