Exits: Something darker
Writer Robert Silverman on the Knicks, the authoritarian need of humiliation, outgrowing childhood fears, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

At @wtevs.bsky.social's BASKETBALL FEELINGS, the Zesty KAT stuff took me right back to my own dumb childhood jock dreams and the ugly homophobia that’s seeping into ever corner of the current fascist moment—even the '24-25 Knicks. www.basketballfeelings.com/p/exits-some...
At the opening night party for Mickey Mantle's restaurant, my dad spent 15 mins chatting w/Keith Hernandez. I was too awe/starstruck to interrupt and ask dad to introduce me. When they were done chatting I stage-whispered YOU KNOW KEITH?? My dad replied: "Hernandez? I thought that was John Stossel

You would believe from reading this Matt Taibbi tweet that @eoinhiggins.bsky.social’s book is about him or that it names him on the cover. No.
The book spends more time on Glenn Greenwald. The cover suggests a general phenomenon in our culture — that everyone online has seen.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Kennedy is ramping up his attacks on vaccines. Conspiracy theories are central to that agenda of undermining faith in public health, medicine, and experts.

I heard a bunch of antifas talking about this today in a hipster coffee shop.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
