Random person I don't know who popped up in my FB feed (as they do, now that FB has completely randomized the feed) says "I decided today would be a great day to plant my peonies", and if that's a euphemism for something I don't want to know about it.

When my son was 9 or 10 he wanted to go as the Terrible Trivium one halloween. (He couldn't get the costume together, and went as a Nazgul instead.)

Read about how a Samsung firmware update bricked thousands of fridges in South Korea, and it occurred to me that "brick a fridge" sounds like a euphemistic expletive. I may start using it that way.

Yeah LePage can go fuck himself. He’s a monster and always has been.

At the same event, LePage – who once declared himself "Trump before Donald Trump" – criticized a new state law that restricts police cooperation with ICE.

His comments come after a year of heavy immigration enforcement in Maine.

"one needn’t get into an argument about the quality of many of these works"--so he's not even going to try to make a substantive case that the longlist folks don't deserve it, he's just going to rest his argument on their ethnic identities.

While CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are being locked out of the White House, who is being let in? My latest post examines the outlet with documented ties to white nationalist figures—and what this shift means for government accountability. Read the full breakdown below.

The multi-dimensional incoherence of the right wing perception of labor is staggering. More workers longer means more wealth, but immigrant workers are somehow subtracting wealth. Workers create wealth, but wait, no, only investors create wealth.

The point that never seems to make its way into Nader discourse is that his vote share was greater than Bush’s margin in NH as well as FL. Had Gore won in NH, FL wouldn’t have mattered.

There’s a correction now (though oddly I see it only in the mobile version)

For the record:
3:59 p.m. Sept. 13, 2026An earlier version of this article included a headline that referred to Montecito County. Montecito is a town in Santa Barbara County. The article said three fires were burning in Mendocino County. The Lucas fire is burning in Lake and Mendocino counties. The Plaskett and Timber fires are burning in Monterey County.

My dad was a copy editor, and I interned as a copy editor in high school. And this is just the most egregious example suggesting that copy editors no longer exist.
