Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.

If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.

The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

Even if this was actually a war, and only Congress can declare war, federal law still applies.

If you believe otherwise, I’m going to call you a Nazi.
Sen. Roger Marshall defends Hegseth: "Look, we're losing 200 Americans every day to drug poisoning from these drug lords. This is a war. And it's ugly. War is never pretty ... that strike probably saved thousands of American lives."

Put differently: Donald Trump was too weak to stand up to Putin on behalf of our Ukrainian allies.
It wasn’t a peace plan. It was a surrender plan.

Youtube TV: "if we can't reach an agreement and their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer our subscribers a $20 credit."

The reason I have YoutubeTV is for live sports. You missed an NCAA Football Saturday. That is ~25% of the month, which should count as "extended".

Hey @socialistdogmom.bsky.social ... can you say what happened to part 2 of the Curtis Maynard episode? It seems to have disappeared from the places I usually get my pods, and my podcatcher didn't cache a copy.

Jorge Luis Borges, 1941, tells a short story that describes something very close to how my relationship with the web has evolved.

They keep using that word "Black Friday". I do not think it means what they think it means.

@lizdye.bsky.social calls Alex Jones a "sentient shitpost" without evidence that he's sentient. Then she says he's becoming a case of "explosive diarrhea" without acknowledging that diarrhea is much more pleasant than Jones.

I'm sorry to stop reading you after your recent tech changes. Your anti-adblock script is mistaking my safari configuration for an adblocker (it's not... it only blocks trackers) and won't let me read. And I can't give money to substack. Thanks for years of wonderful things!
