Their heads are going to explode when they learn that some people call FRIENDS of their parents "Aunt" and "Uncle".

Lmao. This is INSANE. I would never refer to "my dad's cousin Bo" or "my mom's cousin Mary Ann". It is my Uncle Bo and Aunt Mary Ann.

In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr

A federal judge was taking Border Control Cmdr. Gregory Bovino point-by-point through her temporary restraining order restricting the use of tear gas, telling him that “kids dressed in Halloween costumes” do not pose any threat.

I still can't get over the fact that the people who think Buttigieg briefly working for McKinsey is disqualifying are somehow caping for a blackwater mercenary with a death camp tattoo who said he loved to fight in colonial wars.

We read Graham Platner’s whole Reddit archive. The vilification of the Maine candidate for Senate doesn’t square with what he actually wrote in his posts.

Now that Zack Snyder isn't making DC movies, my least favorite thing about movies is people saying "was this movie necessary?" as their critique of a movie.

Every poll is like:

"Should we eat our own shit?"

31% yes
39% no
30% don't know

but there are still people getting paid to argue for how Democrats can finely tailor an eat-some-shit message to win over the median moderate voter, of which there are zero.

@aoc.bsky.social from the top rope.

A screenshot of a social media post by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responding to Riley Gaines. Ocasio-Cortez’s caption says, “Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth.” Below it is Riley Gaines’s original post saying, “We’re being destroyed from within,” accompanied by a photo from a large political rally. In the photo, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and a man in a suit stand on a stage facing a large cheering crowd. They are smiling and waving toward the audience under bright stage lights. The platform shows engagement numbers including comments, reposts, likes, and views.

He's talking about a cognitive test for dementia.

A black-and-white scanned form titled “Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Version 7.1 Original Version.” At the top are blank fields for name, education, date of birth, sex, date, and points. The first section shows a trail-making exercise with circles labeled 1 to 5 and letters A to E connected by dashed arrows. Next to it is an outline cube to be copied, and a box titled “Draw CLOCK (Ten past eleven)” with scoring checkboxes for contour, numbers, and hands. Below is a “Naming” section illustrated with three animals: a lion, a rhinoceros, and a camel, each with an empty checkbox underneath. The “Memory” section lists five words to be recalled—FACE, VELVET, CHURCH, DAISY, RED—with spaces for two trials. An “Attention” section includes repeating digits forward and backward, tapping on the letter A in a letter sequence, and performing serial 7 subtraction starting at 100. The “Language” section has two sentences to repeat and a fluency task asking for words beginning with the letter F. The “Abstraction” section asks for similarities between pairs: train-bicycle and watch-ruler. A “Delayed Recall” section again lists the five memory words, with spaces for recall and category/multiple choice cues. The “Orientation” section has blanks for date, month, year, day, place, and city. At the bottom is copyright by Z. Nasreddine MD, scoring ranges (Normal ≥ 26/30), and an area for the administrator.

we're all trying to find out who in the media is spreading all this misinformation

lorenz: Look at the difference between COVID coverage under Trump versus Biden: the media basically stopped covering COVID as a pandemic after Biden took office. It was appalling. Most people don’t know that more people died from COVID under Biden than under Trump, because Biden essentially came in and said, “COVID’s over. Everybody get back to work.” After all the moralizing from the media in the early days of COVID, under Biden everything was suddenly fine. “Actually, ignore everything that we just told you last year.” The mainstream media was, in my view, actively pushing dangerous misinformation, misleading people into believing COVID had disappeared, even though doctors treating patients warned that we were still in a raging pandemic with fewer available treatments. I think that broke a lot of people. The media should have held Biden more accountable—it’s too soft on the Democrats.

In addition to any moral or competitive arguments,

1. This is a fake problem. There aren't any trans women in NWSL. There aren't any trans women in the immediate pipeline that I'm aware of.

2. Using Banda for the cover photo here is obviously just extremely racist.

Katelyn Best @kabest.bsky.social · 1d

Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...

New from me:

Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.

This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

Accusing Jordan Silverman

A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

Classic VBS skit:

A Bible study would be attacked by men in masks with guns who would demand that you renounce Jesus or be shot. Everyone would do it, except the last guy who would rather die. Then the masked men would be like "great, were looking for REAL believers to join our Bible study".
