Wow. This is a pretty scathing article on NJ11 Congressional candidate Brendan Gill. If these claims are all true then it seems difficult to fathom how so many leaders in Essex are aligned with him.

BRENDAN GILL, ULTIMATE INSIDER, WILL BRING JERSEY’S ‘BOSS’ POLITICS TO D.C.
But Gill’s baggage as businessman and lobbyist, along with reported outbursts of temper and alleged misogyny, could undermine his coronation in CD-11

Rip Rob Reiner. Your acting and your films brought so many hours of joy to our entire family. You will be terribly missed 😢
Er. This is absolutely the worst circumstances under which an old thread can be revived, so I'm not quite sure how to react. I guess, thank you all for reskeeting and quoteskeeting, and please share the joy around. ❤️
Heartbroken to hear about the murders of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Not sure why this isn’t getting more press given that he seems to be the front-runner in this race and there are really great alternatives like John Bartlett who have consistently delivered for their constituents and are above reproach.
I still can’t believe Brendan Gill not only avoided any real fallout from this, but is now running and hiding behind a list of “50 prominent women.” And his base is still cheering. What exactly would count as disqualifying at this point?

Not much attention being paid here to the #NJ11 congressional race to replace @mikiesherrill.bsky.social. There are literally 12 ppl running! My preferred candidate, John Bartlett, has years of public service and is a person of high integrity and principle.

Thank you to everyone who attended our CD 11 Candidate Meet and Greet last night in Essex County. All 12 D candidates were there. We are so proud of the work we have done since 2017. Back then we could not have imagined that 12 highly qualified people would be vying for our votes. The Power of Us!

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

SMU — the team no one would allow in a power conference for 40 years — is now one win away from making the ACC championship game for the second consecutive year in just its second year in the conference. That is an unbelievable feat.

Good catch here. This is ludicrous, @nytimes.com
When there was positive economic data under Biden, the New York Times told us to worry, with headlines like:
“Why a Strong U.S. Economy Is Making Stock Investors Jittery”
and
“Inflation Has Been Easing Fast, but Wild Cards Lie Ahead”
But when there is worrisome data under Trump, NYT reassures us:
