Isaac Chotiner: Do you believe Americans can still rely on these institutions when so much in the last decade has undermined them?

If anybody needs music for a video project or podcast, my music is available. I've been on a couple of podcast soundtracks before.

I want to supply the Feel it All Around by Washed Out to your Portlandia.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

It feels like Mamdani is running for mayor against three competing Tim & Eric sketches

Just look at the résumés. I've learned this city from the bottom up. From paper boy to the Mayor's office - I've worked every rung of the ladder serving New Yorkers. Mamdani has lived on easy street, I've lived the grind.

Acquiring baby stuff the last few months kept reminding me of this…do you have a Bippiboppi? You need a Peedly. The Kookadoo is actually essential. It’s a Shushatot and it’s so helpful. You ordered a Snugigi yet? It’s literally a Poopli. You can borrow my Poopli. You need a Poopli. You NEED a Poopli

fantastic series and one of the best (and most entertaining) histories of the 30 Years War available imo

Chris Wade @chriswade.bsky.social · Aug 20

Really happy to now have Hell on Earth - my series on the 30 Years War with Matt Christman - available as an easy-to-play dedicated podcast feed for Chapo subscribers. Probably the single project I'm most proud of putting out through the show

After we wrapped HoE I strongly considered bidding on an authentic John George 1635 Saxon Thaler as a personal reward...never pulled the trigger but still might some day. There are a number of them in collectors circulation.
