Rob Reiner confirmed dead, of suspected homicide. Shocking and heartbreaking.

This was a tough one to record, especially given that so much is yet to be released and uncovered about the true depth of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. But please give our interview with Epstein survivor Rina Oh a listen.

It was bracing and intimidating to face her, but in the times I had the chance to do so—while working at Asian CineVision, writing at the Village Voice, and running A. magazine—I learned a helluva lot.

Rest in passion, Chris. You will not be soon forgotten, and your voice will continue to carry.
Every time I saw Christine Choy, she yelled at me—shouting praise, criticism, advice, advocacy; abjuring, exhorting, complaining, exulting. She always lived life with the dial turned to 11.

Oh yeah, Republicans are going to spin up “PROVIDER-OWNED HOSPITALS” in the <checks notes> two weeks before our healthcare system goes into systemic financial crisis and potentially millions of people lose insurance
Insurance subsidies for tens of millions of people expire in a few weeks.

Republicans on the Hill are still at the "concepts of a plan" stage.

This kind of politics is like a room without a roof
I see this sort of proud posturing a lot and it's really a wonderful way to loudly demonstrate to everyone you have absolutely no idea what's going on

Watching the K-drama HOT STOVE LEAGUE right now and really enjoying it. It’s like TED LASSO, if TED LASSO were a serious office drama about running a Korean league baseball team, and Ted Lasso was played as the Korean version of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes

If you’re flying into or through San Francisco, and have the time to walk over to the SFO Museum location in terminal 1, I highly recommend their current small-but-mighty “Women of Afrofuturism” exhibit!

Group G? Crazy talk, given that Group A has Mexico AND Korea, making them strong favorites for the culinary World Cup. Group C has three solid and interesting candidates, but Scotland is a devastating weak link for that set

I hope we agree Group E and L are gonna rock the bottom
Resolved: Best *food* foursome is Group G

Everyone: this looks like murder

Republicans: no no watch the video

Video: murder

Republicans: at least let the presiding officer testify

Bradley: I murdered the shit out of them
Video shows second strike hit before survivors could flip boat, lawmakers say
The footage was shown on Capitol Hill, where Adm. Frank M. Bradley, who oversaw a deadly attack on alleged drug smugglers, faced a day of difficult questions about the operation.

The goal was never just deportation, it was always denaturalization
BREAKING

The US Supreme Court has agreed to review the constitutionality of President Trump’s executive order attempting to strip birthright citizenship from children of noncitizen parents.

If you’re going to look at “P and L” for the government:

The IRS generated over $5.1 trillion in FY 2024 on a tiny budget of around $12.3 billion, yielding an INCREDIBLE return on investment of over 400:1, and yet Trump has laid off 25% of its workforce
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

We are months away from Trump forming a Suicide Squad out of hired assassins, serial killers and child predators, although a case could be made that this is redundant with the Trump cabinet
Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.
