Last night Duncan had DRAMA

A floofy gray cat splayed across board game mats. He meows angrily.

lol they are SO MAD ABOUT IT

A dining table partially set for Twilight Imperium, a complex space war boardgame.

Two floofy cats, a black and a grey, loiter amongst the game components. The felines are visibly annoyed.

I just learned that Kissinger shared Lê Đức Thọ's Peace Prize and I don't know why anyone paid attention to it after that.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

if you're curious about WHY every other occult horror movie is chock full of Hebrew-lettered diagrams, & also why this actually sucks, you can read my (citation-heavy) zine on the subject here ezrarose.itch.io/fyma-a-lesse...

Thinking about what we loss going from the Obama years to this makes me sad. We're literally living the modern day version of redemption.

I don't think it's going to work out in the way they think because what they are doing is to actually promote the protest and the date in a way that the organizers can't on their own. So lots of people will now be searching: October 18 protest who would have had no clue before.

The media framing that Trump was snubbed by the Nobel org.

Like sure I got snubbed from a date with Salma Hayek too.

I think the over-under on the Weiss tenure is 14 months.

I feel terrible for everyone whose career is being destroyed but she is going to set speed records for running CBS into the ground, Ellison is no Murdoch

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

“Teach me how a newsroom works” is so insulting.

Might feel like an inversion of the Civil War, but less than you might think. The federal government was thoroughly in the hands of the Slave Power in the 1850s. States resisted the Fugitive Slave Act; Dred Scott was SCOTUS. Secession happened b/c they wouldn't accept losing that control in 1860.
