This is NOT the NYT's scoop or reporting. This link is to the article ABOUT the article.

The actual work--the series of interviews, cultivation of the subject, the written words--came from Vanity Fair! Specifically Chris Whipple.

If everyone can stop throwing Baker and NYT the quick credits?!
There’s a lot of evidence in this Susie Wiles interview that she knows she’s been the handmaiden for some awful, possibly criminal, policies, and she’s trying to assemble her own defense in advance of any future investigations.

We all gonna keep skeeting this shared Muppet Knives Out fever dream directly at @rianjohnson.bsky.social or nah?
The only way to restore the Knives Out franchise to its comedy equilibrium is muppets.
Wake Up Dead Man is more like one of Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot films than the previous Knives Out movies. It's perfectly fine as a straight murder mystery. But I miss the humor of the first two in the series.

Here's a draft I made! My 7 year old helped my with some suggestions of things she likes to do at the library. And I made a custom one for myself of things I want to do next year at the library.

bill kristol is scoring off of the democratic house minority leader from the left. and he's right.
I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

Legacy media that did not immediately comb their OWN extensive archives? On this matter and any other? Committing serious journalistic malpractice. Especially when one party involved is DECEASED and has no new activity to investigate and get lost in.

It's ALL ARCHIVAL at this point, wtf
Did the network “discover” it? Or did it have access to this archive ever since Trump came down the golden escalator and only now looked at it?

How stupid would you have to be to accept Trump's new position that he wants the House to vote for releasing the Epstein files but he still isn't releasing the Epstein files, which he could do without a vote?

These are the folks to whom you + 7 others capitulated.

And for what? The slim hope Mr. Thune keeps a promise?

All of the sacrifices Americans made in the past few weeks were tendered for .... a GOP promise to allow a vote on some subsidies in December?

telling someone who’s health insurance premiums are going up 2000% that the republicans are now on record opposing healthcare and they promised to vote on it later so it’s really for the best that the senator won’t be moderately inconvenienced flying home in two weeks
November 10, 2025 at 1:31 PM
@schumer.senate.gov - I'm from Indiana, contacting my senators directly is less than useless. As the leader, you're the next in line --

Why give in NOW? Why let folks suffer for weeks only to concede now? Nothing to show for their sacrifice besides the promise of more pain! Are you that craven?
Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Oh, bless Christina Tosi's heart. If that's *her family's* recipe and not the same one made in at least a million American kitchens, then *I'm* the founder of Milkbar. 🙄

I think the recipe is ON the box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix.

Here’s a recipe #giftlink maybe a Thanksgiving side dish. For me, it would be a meal.

Plus. Even I could cook this (I do not cook). Look it over I think you’ll want to try this corny dish.
