Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion.
WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out.
Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties
Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

I’m not quite sure how one could parse last week’s election results to mean “Give Trump what he wants and maybe he won’t hurt us” but in all fairness I am not an elderly Senate Democrat
👩💼: After nine months of unchecked Presidential authoritarianism & ICE stormtroopers arresting migrants & DOGE destroying the government & a month-long government shutdown & the inability of anything or anyone to stop Donald Trump, we can only conclude that the 2025 elections were about the economy

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.
They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.
Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

The Trump admin is making the planes run on time in the same way that Mussolini made the trains run on time—by not actually doing it, but by pressuring everyone to just say that’s what’s happening.
If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

ProPublica identified 20 segregation academies in Mississippi that received almost $10 million over six years through a state-funded program.
At least eight opened with an early boost from state-funded vouchers in the 1960s.
