An absolutely incredible and valid way to look at this.
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

"I learned, and saw firsthand, the value of a local store versus a chain, how much of the money spent in the neighborhood stays in the neighborhood, how it recirculates, supports others, and nourishes the cycle. For all of us."
Reading Rob Miller’s (Bloodshot Records) new book and this paragraph is spot on. 🎯

You've never had to apologize for being white in America, but of course, that's not really what Vance is trying to tell his rabid followers. What he's really trying to tell them is that they don't need to apologize for believing they should have it easier because they're white.

All of the people in this photo descend from America's 2nd Vice President and 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. Would JD consider these people white? If not, why not? They're all "heritage Americans" in that they descend from a founder, yes?

This is stunning. Blanche is claiming, with a straight face, that the only federal prison where a convicted sex offender can adequately be protected from other inmates just so happens to be a minimum security prison that gives her puppy playdates.
Truly preposterous.

BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about

Asked by Erika Kirk what her advice to young men is, Nicki Minaj says, “don’t be like [Gavin] Newscum.”
Nicki then refers to Trump as “our handsome, dashing president.”
She then referred to JD Vance as “an assassin,” and remembered whom she was on stage with.
Erika Kirk then assures her it’s fine

Rarely has a journalist been brave enough to stand up and say,”Hey, so, is this torture prison story kind enough to my wannabe dictator?”
CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

Perhaps the vice president should have considered utilizing the services of the vast law-enforcement apparatus at his disposal, rather than googling conspiracy theories on the Internet.

I've had heated words with Yglesias on Twitter, always because of stuff like this. I said he doesn't offer hot takes, but parbaked takes. Smug in his ignorance, acting the expert. I ordinarily would just ignore somebody like this, but he has a huge audience and a lot of influence. Why? Who can say.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...
