RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

This is completely fucking insane and I’m begging our fourth estate to cover this like the story it is: a stark raving lunatic and malignant narcissist surrounded by idiot sycophants is nearing the end of his life and bored as fuck because he’s never faced accountability of any kind in his life

YAY!! My suggestion for today is a wonderful local-to-me effort led by my friend Gilbert Castellanos!

Are you taking suggestions?!?

The struggle is real!!

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

Do you think we might have an ArK event 😬

Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.

Whew.

All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I am horrified I came across that way! I was talking about Grim and thinking of the Nuzzi crowd

OHHHHH lol each thing I learn is shadier

Oh definitely not you! There is a highly specific subtype of journalist I mean and they all seem to be buddies together

omg this is amazing

Something massively weird just happened with qualifying in Catoosa County. No Republicans qualified for the county seats.

Yeah this tracks.

Seconding this. Please

That shitty little bad faith question is one of the most offensive things I think I have seen on this site

(To clarify, I am a journalist who grew up "creative class" and have a chip on my shoulder about how many of my colleagues come from money but pretend they don't)

My read is it's because all these asshole journalists are rich kids who think bartending is something shameful or titillating

I'm so glad I read the comments before commenting for once because that's exactly what I thought

Did you know that Graham Platner was Ryan Grim's bartender back at the Tune Inn on Capitol Hill, a fact that Ryan Grim acknowledged on X?

Good lord. I thought this was a setup for a punchline
