MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter
Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes
I think the greatest gift college professors in the humanities can give to students right now is a seminar room where, for 80 minutes twice a week, nothing that happens to them is a sales pitch for an AI product.
I can not emphasize strongly enough that Kathleen Edwards, who has been producing great music since *2002*, has just put out what is, IMO, the best album of her career, produced by Jason Isbell. Buy it; see her live.
Not quite the range you're looking for, but Benjy Kahan's book is a great starting place if you haven't checked it out already: www.dukeupress.edu/celibacies
I hope Schumer understands how bad it will look if they get no meaningful concessions and then next week ICE blankets Springfield, OH in poison gas the way they have Minneapolis www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springf...
DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
Louisiana has moved to closed primaries: www.kadn.com/news/politic...
Bill Cassidy, a medical doctor, beclowned himself and endangered millions of lives by voting to confirm RFK Jr. in an attempt to get on Trump's good side after voting to impeach him for January 6. And what did Cassidy get for it? Trump endorsing against him in a primary.
If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head
What an interesting coincidence.
Really nothing’s been the same since they changed The New Zork Times to The Status Line.
New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Accounts program — which provides taxpayer money to help parents pay for private, religious and home schooling — is often touted as a way to help children who aren’t thriving in public schools. But new statistics from the state Department of Education show the continuation of a trend in which most new participants in the program weren’t in a public school in the first place. Of the 4,745 children who joined the program this school year, only 343 of them, or 7 percent, were in a public school when last school year ended, according to the data.
I see.

Saga of the Swamp Thing #21 Artist: Thomas Yeates
Happy Anatomy Lesson Day to those who celebrate!
(Saga of the Swamp Thing #21 on sale date: November 17, 1983)
Logo for the Biloxi Shuckers minor league baseball team, featuring an oyster with intense yet kind eyes.
Would definitely pre-order a book by a prominent East Coast media figure who blew up their lives, retreated to the MS Gulf Coast, and immersed themselves in Biloxi Shuckers fandom for a year.
How come when people want to spend a year in "self-imposed exile at the edge of the country" they never wind up in Biloxi.
The phrase “sandwich jury nullification” as the TMNT logo.
This revelation that you do not already own a theremin is frankly shocking.
This sucks, Shawn. Sorry to hear it.
I have been dreading the inevitable deluge of soft-focus profiles of JD as he humbly prepares to meet the moment or whatever.
Thanks!
Also my first experience writing something that the Disney lawyers had to approve.
Some great comics here, including the 2009-2010 DOMINIC FORTUNE miniseries about a cabal of bigoted plutocrats and clownish zealots who try to overthrow the US government. Prescient or just evergreen? You make the call!

The most depressing AI pieces are always going to be the thoughtful, nuanced, open-minded considerations by respected writers who are transparently responding to the publicity incentive created by editors whose owners want this kind of content
This is the most disturbing aesthetic evolution of my central point in “About Face”: the mainstreaming of fascist & paramilitary presence through its aesthetic in consumer goods, AKA white men with no real sense of self buying adjacency to violent authoritarian power. 🤮 popula.com/2019/02/24/a...
