If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

oh you think it’s run of the mill? Do you not appreciate quality, reliable millwork? If the mill broke down, if the miller perished, would you mock their efforts? or would you miss the labours you once took for granted?

The media’s institutional collapse into “every man for himself” substackery certainly hasn’t helped matters.
something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

And this is the dilemma I always find myself with these “American Burlesques,” the characters are colorful and ludicrous, but their depredations cause lasting harm.
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

Excellent interview with @mikiberenyi.bsky.social, who explains how touring for foreign bands in the U.S. is untenable (while noting the good parts). So glad I got to see the MB Trio the past two tours here in Chicago (with Gina Birch the second time!).

OK, so maybe "I'll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow" is a bit of text which is rough on the eyeballs. But before we criticize, remember that the line was probably beautiful when spoken in his voice.

Small states should pay tribute to larger states in exchange for us not invading to take their corn.
But that's why there's a House. Small states can't lose their equal representation and they shouldn't.

This is too good to not be true.
My favorite bit of trivia is this, and if you already know it, I find it’s always great to hear it again. As a child in rural France, Andre the Giant was too big to fit on the little country school bus. So his neighbor, Samuel Becket!!!, would take Andre to school in his pick-up truck!
