If you're tired of doomscrolling — which is to say, reading the same shallow hot take again and again — it's worth listening to this.

By the end of the year, WaPo will be indistinguishable from Der Stürmer.
Perhaps @mcuban.bsky.social could supply a lifeboat? Create a new publication—digital at first, progressing to print as circulation grows—and hire every writer and editor at their current salary. Call it the Washington Pre.

Already tiring of the whiny pundit characterization of Bluesky as some refugee camp for hypersensitive liberal elites. People didn't leave Twitter because they hated having their ideas challenged; they left because they got sick of the Nazis, the trolls, and the lying hatemonger who owns it. >

I wrote about the most interesting man you’ve probably never heard of, who discovered the real Noah’s Ark, and gives us a window into a fascinating world of the first humans who invented writing. www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-mirthf...

My post about Caligula's horse aged almost too well. In the past 24 hours, it's become a cliché.
