Reading Chait write about Weiss makes being water boarded sound fun.

Totally, completely flabbergasted. #MacFellow

Absolutely. It explains everything.

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Another good use of your money on prime day is, you know, supporting the authors you like directly on Patreon… (cough)

Garrett Bradley is now a MacArthur Fellow. This *almost* makes up for her not winning the Oscar for "Time". www.macfound.org/fellows/clas...

I am old enough to remember when congressional hearings had witnesses that answered questions because “Constitutional Oversite.”

Just like cameras following ICE raids, her TikTok-ready testimony is a farce.

Social media - all of it - needs a shut off switch.

Not for nothing, but looking in the camera and putting your arms out to be cuffed and saying "come and get me" is a pretty boss move. I'm not on the Pritzker-train, but I'm looking at the train schedule...

Review just in of Bill Burr's set at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

"I laughed myself to pieces!"

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

I didn't have Candace Owens being a MAGA-splitting chaos agent on my bingo card.

So the Heydrich Camp and the Röhm camp seem to be fighting over who killed Horst.

at least we didn't start the fire.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

I am reminded of the ITYSL sketch where the college professor keeps saying “I’m joking I’m joking” when he repeatedly asks for a bite of Tim’s hamburger. Eventually Tim lets him have a bite.

Then the professor proceeds to eat the entire hamburger.

My kid dressed up at Halloween at ten as a “mechanical engineer.”

Today he’s an all A student, wants to be an equine vet, works at a local barn/ranch Non-Profit 12 hours a week after school, in scouts & is an active gamer - and he still finds time for five hours of YouTube a day!

Thank you iPhone!

Actual sentences my son said after school playing with his animal figurines:

"wow look at these two fearless dangerous predatory mammals"

"Dad, saber toothed cats are extinct but Siberian tigers are not extinct"

I would be more proud if he was a paleontologist than if he was in the NBA

Yeah he’s all over Crash Course and others. My kiddo watched Kratts religiously and now reads books on the Lincoln Assassination and is in senior math and science as a ninth grader. You’re on the right path, dad!

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Five foot ten my ass.

My 14 year old is watching deep dive videos on science and history - dinner with them is usually a drawing room conversation where I learn move things about eels, ancient Mesopotamia, or pre code filmmaking in Hollywood than I ever thought I wanted to hear.

I wish they would just leaf people alone.
