Liz Bachhuber and Jill Sebastian's EAT MY WORDS art exhibition in the Overture Center's James Watrous Gallery creates a stunning cycle of decay and recreation. "It is best consumed slowly," writes Sam Harrington.
"Eat My Words" offers much-needed time to reckon with environmental impact
Take a quiet hour, and explore the mixed-media exhibition in the James Watrous Gallery at Overture Center through October 12.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The most misleading statement Barrett makes about mail scanning is this: "The evidence is clear." It is very much not clear. Dane County's own data on mail and contraband is especially not clear, as we found when we actually bothered to check out these claims

Isn't consistently referring to Jeffrey Epstein as "a financier" like always referring to Ted Bundy as "an office worker"?

I'm so glad someone has said this out loud
"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

A little good news to put some wind in your sails today.
An energy revolution is underway in this century, though it’s unfolded in ways slow enough and technical enough for most people not to notice (and I assume it’s nowhere near finished). It is astonishing – a powerful solution to the climate crisis... [Wrote it a while ago; came out yesterday.]

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

If by “torn cornea” you mean “the hypocritical optics of teaming up with convicted sex trafficker Gislaine Maxwell to alleviate the Epstein files saga”, then sure.

If we’re lucky, Colbert is about to have a year-long DGAF era. The man’s off the leash. What are they gonna do, cancel him?
Stephen Colbert's program was the top-rated network late-night show though Q2 2025, casting considerable doubt on Paramount's claim that the cancelation was a "financial decision."
Coincidentally, here's a clip of a segment that aired just before Paramount's decision:
