The most hilarious revelation so far in the William F. Buckley biography is that Buckley's first publisher, a free-market individualism absolutist, was an antisemitic nepo baby who despite having inherited a fortune had to have Buckley's daddy front him $3000 just to get the slim volume published.

But I thought those conniving Wambsgansses always came out ahead?
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.

You would think the federal government indiscriminately launching a barrage of tear gas at a peaceful protest filled with children would merit more prominent coverage, @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

Not sure if it's ironic or fitting that a president who can't tell the difference between Willie Brown and Jerry Brown is developing a dystopian facial recognition law enforcement regime.

More like Howard Slutnick.

So basically Lutnick was like, oh, you're a grown man who gets happy endings from a masseuse? Disgusting! I can't be around that! Oh, wait, you're a convicted sex offender with a penchant for minors? Let's have dinner on your private island! I'll bring my kids!

Yeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.

People who declined to watch Schitt's Creek during COVID lost their goddamn minds. People who watched it tended to maintain their sanity. Catherine O'Hara is the reason humanity still has hope.

This fuckin guy wouldn't know nuance if it tied him to a rack and stretched him to 5'2" but sure, fake magazine, report this as news.

Which Rambo is it the origin story of, the one who cried after being bizarrely attacked by small town conservatives despite having served in a war they supported, or the one who thought the only problem with Vietnam was that they didn't napalm enough kids?
Production is underway on JOHN RAMBO from director Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports, Sisu), a prequel starring Noah Centineo.

John Rambo takes audiences back, years before First Blood, diving deep into the experiences that forged one of the big screen’s most enduring characters.

Sure Trump is bad, but what about people who refuse to break down their boxes for recycling. Just leaving big ass boxes in a box shape, 3-4 times a week.

But have you spoken with everyday Americans about their takes on health and science
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Why is everyone acting like "Commander at Large" is a real job title and not a joke some aide made that DHS took seriously.
