proposal: we allow network TV to survive but only under federal regulations that require them to trigger a Planet Fitness "lunk" alarm any time somebody lies in an interview. the enforcement ladder for this begins at fines but ends in asset forfeiture

Another Brock Turner arc in 2026. Truly grotesque choices from the administration; excellent work from this editorial board.

Hey so what the fuck is up with raw milk mouse
A silver car with a white window decal that says “I heart raw milk” with a cartoon mouse that maybe has Swiss cheese on its face? And it’s sitting with its legs wide open???

I have plenty of critiques of commercial aviation in the US. "Pilots are too sexually liberated" is not one of them.

Good news, everybody: Greg Bovino’s whiskey is keto friendly www.cnn.com/2026/09/05/p...
Bovino has also created his own whiskey label, Commander's Choice, with bottles available to pre-order for $99 with a label that says: "Deport them all. America first." ("It's a fantastic drink for law enforcement," he told CNN. "It's keto friendly.”)

We're in a moment where straight size women are panicking because they're seeing themselves rewritten as part of an out group, and many are panicking. That panic response: reach for in group status by excluding the out group even harder. No solidarity. No empathy. Just self-preservation.

One of the many ways we've gotten in the wayback machine on conversations about fatness: straight size people think once again that they are the primary targets of anti-fatness. Those objections to the anti-fatness they feel comes wrapped up in profound anti-fatness against plus size people.

I've seen the following cycle play out a million times: 1. Progressives implement some well-meaning but flawed attempt to address a problem. 2. "Centrists" attack the flaws, with the intention of replacing it with something better. 3. RW media amplifies the attacks, creating a media din. ...

Even in an age of proud bigotry, the explicit bias here is stunning. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...
So, the story goes through screenings. It's very well received. There are notes as always and we do rewrites as always. But this is on a very tight deadline. It's Sunday; we're going on the air that night. And in the case of stories that are, as we say, crashing, our deadline on Sunday is noon. So, we work on all of these things. We get the piece approved by everyone. And about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent? Now, I'm paraphrasing. I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee Good's car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.
This is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see the officer standing slightly off the front of the car. And you clearly see Ms. Good's wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer. But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says something about her that I can't repeat in polite company.

It's ballot measure signature gathering season in a lot of western states. I was recently canvassed for a ballot measure by someone who argued that even if the measure itself didn't 100% hit the mark, "it will get the conversation started." But "getting the conversation started" isn't good enough.
