@mchooyah Sucker

DOGE is auditing a government that has been robbing you blind and stealing the money you’ve worked for. If you still believe the politicians, their propaganda worked… on you.

So I’m starting a Substack. In these fraught times, we need a trustworthy source of reliable information, and my Substack will definitely not be it. I don’t even really know what “fraught” means. But I hope you will be amused. rayadverb.substack.com

@barrysvrluga Practicing the Brotherly Shove

Just got out of an Uber in downtown Philly. Greeted by crowds running down the street, a brawl spilling everywhere — and then several gunshots. The Eagles won, right?

Just signed up for BlueSky @tomshroder

@farhip @NFL I rant about that every Sunday.

Nothing more perfunctory and useless than @nfl sideline interviews at halftime. Reporter: Coach, you’re down 21 points, how do you get back in this one? Coach: Something something balance something something. Reporter: Thanks, coach.

@LittleMammith To *START*?

Biden pardoning his own son is a disastrous move politically. Now that he's done it, I'm worried the precedent it sets might finally push Trump to start showing contempt for established political norms and the rule of law

@RickDoblin Happy Birthday old man!

Today, I’m celebrating my birthday—71 years of life and over five decades dedicated to advancing the potential of psychedelics to heal trauma. I’m deeply grateful for the support that has helped MAPS push boundaries. Consider making a donation to MAPS: give.classy.org/campaign/59115…

@intentionally @BeckyChill Yes. And if you are a woman whose husband slaps you around, focus on how you can better meet his needs.

No specific policies, but a few thoughts: 1) start from the premise that they’re smart, thoughtful people who care about their families, communities, and country, and came to different conclusions about how to do that. (Largely informed by their bubbles. Just like everyone else.) 2) Engage in humble, mutual inquiry. To honestly try to understand how they arrived at their perspective. 3) Figure out how to find middle ground, even if that means moving closer to the center. 4) At no point sinking to insulting their intelligence or character, even if they do the same.

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy. But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

@Shteyngart You don’t actually read all of them, do you?

Blurbed seven books this morning. And I’m just getting started.

@BFriedmanDC I hope not. But you wouldn’t think it was possible for anyone to believe Trump’s absurdly obvious bs, yet millions do.

This is cool. EbookDaily is featuring Old Souls today at the low low low price of $2.99. ebookdaily.com/bargain-kindle…

Holy sh*t. This new Kamala Harris ad, which will air on Fox ahead of the debate, will mess with Donald Trump as it uses the words of Trump’s own cabinet & inner circle to show how he is unfit & unable to serve. This is so good. Watch & share it below.

A modest proposal : Biden should step aside now and let Kamala run as incumbent

I have the once in a lifetime honor of having my book, Old Souls: Scientific Evidence for Reincarnation from Children Who Recall Past Lives, reissued in a 25th Anniversary edition with a new afterword, excerpted here: psychologytoday.com/us/articles/20…

@rachelswarns Cool!

So thrilled to be elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences! I'm so honored to be in such incredible company. (And…hoping they can seat me next to George Clooney at the induction ceremony!) nyu.edu/about/news-pub…

@NinaTotenberg Congratulations Nina! A great honor indeed and so well deserved.

I’m braving the monsoon in Cambridge today to accept the Goldsmith Career Award from the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School. What an honor! 6 investigative reporting teams also being honored tonight. goldsmithawards.org/ceremony/2024/

@BFriedmanDC You ok now?

@BFriedmanDC Well it wasn’t a news decision. The paper paper is a relic. Printed ridiculously early now. The Trump encourages our foe to attack our friends story dominated the home page as soon as it broke.
