"The worm doesn't make me eat dead rats. I was doing that before the worm," he purred at me like one of the diseased cats that would follow him around whenever he had a dead rat in his pocket that he was saving for later. He really liked eating them. He coughed and it sounded like a lawnmower hitting a sprinkler head. His leathery skin crackled in the evening sun. He had to leave tonight - he was speaking at a conference for people who think medicine turns you gay. Sometimes when he was away I would rub an old catcher's mitt up and down my legs and pretend he was giving me a massage. - excerpt from “I Don't Know Why He Sounds Like That: My Disgusting Affair with RFK Jr” by Olivia Nuzzi

A lot of the headlines being generated right now are about exciting local election results, but in some sad news, former First Buddy Elon Musk has died by falling asleep in a Ferris wheel and rolling out of the gondola. He was at an amusement park for children, but he had not brought any of his own.

bill maher has passed away after being made to shut up for five god damn minutes this evening. doctors say the comedian and talk show host likely died of a "broken heart" which they note was "black as coal" and "no bigger than an acorn" though it rolled under a cabinet before measurements were taken

Britannis Pembrinke in Gopher Tooth Glen 2 hours ago: Hi I'm new to the neighborhood and it seems like goo comes out of the ground a lot. Wondering if this is normal this time of year, is it dangerous, do I have to do anything about it. The green goo is what I'm talking about thanks. Geoff Frant: have to be more specific. we have many viscous liquids in the area and most are green or what you would call bluegreen. Sherle Merriff: LOL. Love when new people move to the area and freak out about the "goo." First of all hun, about 7 people ask about the ground gels every week so you could very easily search to find many well-informed answers to your query. Second of all, the ground gels have been here long before you or I. You are in their home and would do well to respect that. Jeffy Luffy, in a mostly cut-off comment says: been using them to white teeth and heal chapped lips contact. (they taste like mint yum)

The African-American veterans who gathered in 1887 to memorialize a leader in the “hopeless fight” for freedom and equality did not do so because they knew the arc of history bent towards them, or because they embodied the popular consensus, they did so because they did not.

Dare we do any less?

Stunning piece. A horror movie of sorts. Will be familiar to anyone on the left trying to navigate the centrist American legacy media, albeit made all the more difficult when your bosses and colleagues all assume your people are by default murderous barbarians. bidoun.org/articles/hou...
I was assigned, at some point, a piece about a spree of killings and land thefts carried out with impunity in the West Bank since October 7th. The piece mostly focused on a single settlement where a man who had gone to pick olives on his land one Saturday was shot by an off-duty Israeli soldier. His execution had been captured on video. The story included a cast of settlers, anti-occupation rabbis, and West-Bank Palestinians who had spent their lives fearing that their homes would be stolen, and that if they were killed or dispossessed, there would be no recourse for them. I ran into the story editor in the hallway, who said he was having trouble balancing the narrative because all the Israeli characters seemed evil, while all the Palestinians were angels. A long section that documented, without any editorializing, that Palestinian dispossession was an ongoing process that had begun long before October 7th was whittled down to a single paragraph after a series of fights between the editor-in-chief and the story editor on one side, and myself and the freelance writer on the other. Though the man’s killing had been filmed, a fact checker is obliged to seek comment from any party alleged to have committed a crime. I called the soldier’s lawyer. He picked up from a café, where I could hear trance music blasting in the background. The lawyer told me that while, yes, his client did shoot the man picking olives, and yes, the man did die, the Israeli military court found his client not guilty of murder because the man picking olives was a terrorist who was throwing stones. Even though the video did not show the Palestinian man throwing stones, the court said that he was, so he was. QED, his client did not murder anyone, and it would be slanderous for us to say so.

Anyway, if you'd like a history of the concept of bipartisanship in American politics, I wrote one a few years ago. Politicians didn't start talking this way until fairly recently. newrepublic.com/article/1635...
Most Americans would be surprised to learn how recently our positivity about bipartisanship came to be. Ahead of the 1960 presidential election, for instance, some political analysts anxiously warned the public against a repeat of the divided government Washington had seen for the majority of Eisenhower’s term. In January of that year, the subhead of a New York Times article by the journalist Douglass Cater said that the split in partisan control of the White House and Congress had “given ‘bipartisanship’ a new—and disturbing—twist.” “Protracted bipartisanship leads to a minimal kind of politics with everything played in low key,” Cater argued. “It reduces the incentive for bold, new initiatives on the part of the Administration in power.” Cater even suggested that bipartisanship might undermine American foreign policy by producing a broad but muddy consensus on national priorities. “It may be questioned whether … ‘bipartisanship’ presents a proper image abroad,” he mused. “What our allies and enemies both may have occasion to wonder is who speaks for America in an effective way.” This was far from a fringe perspective. Upon Kennedy’s election, the historian Henry Graff echoed Cater in another piece for the Times: “In domestic matters, bipartisanship is, naturally, impossible and undesirable. Although some legislation will, as heretofore, enjoy bipartisan support, our politics remain by nature partisan.” And a full eight years later, the Times ran an editorial making the same argument. “Except in time of war ... history suggests that self-conscious bipartisanship does not work very well in this country,” the editors wrote. “A peacetime coalition could only serve to blur the lines of responsibility to no real purpose.” Of all the sea changes that have occurred over the last half-century in American politics, the shift from a political mainstream skeptical or ambivalent about bipartisanship to a mainstream that celebrates it is among the most under-examined. The creation of our current paradigm is a very long story—one that seems to begin, as a great many things did last century, with World War I.

A week after Azerbaijan’s 2023 attack on Artsakh, Israel’s assault on Gaza began. As Gaza’s suffering exposed the limits of human rights and international law, a friend, whose family is from Artsakh, said: “It’s when I realized how f*cked we are.”
