“As soon as we fix the problem we created, we can focus on fixing the other problems that we also created.”

Oh god damn it, it was great, shit

I’ve watched this eleventy million times and it’s my favorite thing on the Internet.

the Supreme Court in a nutshell

The destruction of 538's data archives is essentially just digital arson. It's an incredible loss of decades of valuable data, for no real reason beyond "we felt like it".

I made a chart to show how severely they cherry-picked this data.

Read @EggerDC on the utter foulness of the Trump IRS settlement fund. Truly the type of rank corruption we have not really witnessed before. Plundering at its finest

The most corrupt administration of all time.

It's almost awe-inspiring, in a sense, how ambitious and extensive this admin's corruption is, how devoid of any notion of fair dealing, how openly they loot the pockets of their followers and the treasury alike for personal gain what do you even say at this point?

"For some reason"

I’ll see Obsession, but I refuse to participate in the hype for it. I won’t get fooled again.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

That’s the rule. That’s the goal now.

We are sad to learn that Japanese master of horror Koji Suzuki has passed away at 68. Koji Suzuki's nightmares defined an era of horror beginning in the '90s with THE RING, originally a Suzuki novel, and DARK WATER, based on a Suzuki short story. Rest in Peace, master.
