Absolutely worth re-upping this decade-old (!) Awl piece by on when New Yorker writers en masse decided to write a letter.

I spoke to my friend about their new graphic novel and libertarian bros and the hellscape that is Vegas. ** There's also a neat trick to tell them and apart from their fictional counterparts.

Any day now, the Supreme Court will decide whether to strike down the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Today, we’ve got the story of a young Native American mother in South Dakota and how ICWA held her family together.
But it was a long, painful fight

there was a specific techno remix of “country roads” that was played before the lights went on in nyc clubs circa 2002/03. Anyone remember it? (I’ve been searching for years and haven’t found it.)

Incidentally, I have zero sympathy for parents whining about the difficulty of explaining trans people to their children. (Or queerness etc.) Kids understand this shit perfectly; you’re just a bigoted idiot.

This is excellent. The episode is only nominally about the NYT. Michael and Peter discuss this so lucidly that even our 10yo understands how horrible and damaging—and disproportionate—the coverage is

the point: this is the cost of paper thin margins in the senate & republicans taking the house. I know everyone wants there to be One Weird Trick where this sort of thing doesn’t happen, but nope. This is all about numbers. We avoid all this if enough people vote for Dems.

Still waiting on agreement details, but from what we know so far: not yet clear this "deal" is so different from whatever budget deal would have happened in normal appropriations process.
In which case, if this passes, I guess fine? On the other hand, what was the point exactly?

not sure why so podcast producers have so little faith in their material. I’m listening to an episode with a pretty gutwrenching interview w/ a murder victim’s sibling & the producers insist on playing the shitty score underneath. Let people talk, morons, and get out of the way.

This is interesting. Not that I think this is what happened, but… for decades, as I understand it, the Paris Review allowed interviewees to tinker with Q&As prior to publication. I wonder if this was the practice at Playboy as well?

You concede too much ground by saying the two parties just have philosophical differences but want the same end result. No. Dems/liberals/left want mass shootings to end. Republicans/conservatives would prefer they continue.

We give Mrs. Santa Is White & her fellow conservatives too credit by assuming that they even want to stop mass shootings. Conservatives have shown that they’ll run roughshod over rights to end what they despise—abortion, drag shows, etc.
Best to assume they like mass shootings.
Quote Tweet
No, YOU F off. I am sick and tired of nothing changing after mass shootings bc we get mired EVERY TIME IN THE DAMN GUN DEBATE. You have LOST. It’s DONE. For the love of God what else can be done? You are ruining any chance at change by not admitting that the gun debate is lost. twitter.com/happycrazytown…
