Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that.
Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?
Got to tell Dersh he should be shunned from polite society. Today goes in the W column.
• 1, Krem, am Jewish. Members of my immediate family live in Israel. I love Shabbat and baking challah. My friends call me "Rabbi Krem", and I have personal relationships with both Rabbis on-island. • We are proud co-owners of a Martha's Vineyard business that deeply values its relationships with its partners, vendors, collaborators, and most importantly, its clientele. • We are a minority-owned (LGBTQ+) operation. Krem is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. • Prior to this incident, Good Pierogi had never refused service to anybody. • We stand against those who harm or seek to harm others as well as those that would defend them. • Finally, we don't back down to bullies - no matter their size. @good_pierogi
The level of effort Mr. Dershowitz is investing in this charade has led us to a singular conclusion: Our handcrafted pierogi, made with love from locally sourced ingredients, are so undeniably delicious, he'll do anything to get his hands on them. @good pierog!
Last part from Good Pierogi.
The farmers market vendor Dershowitz keeps crying about even though 3 others refused him service too. My name is Krem Miskevich. I am a chef, and together with my spouse Lily Rose, we co-own Good Pierogi, an Eastern European pop up currently operating on Martha's Vineyard. The business was born from a desire to connect my Polish heritage with local food growers and producers on-island, and to feed its residents and visitors. I want to directly address the incident that occurred last Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at the West Tisbury Farmers Market, which has garnered national attention, and more than a few fabricated and fallacious claims about the events and myself. @good_pierogi
The fuss affects not only me, my partner, and our business, but the other extremely hard-working vendors who come together Wednesdays and Saturdays to sell their wares from land and sea. The negative impact on them is unfair and I never intended for my decision to cause so much consternation to a community I deeply care about. The catalyst was our legally justified decision to not sell our pierogi to Alan Dershowitz, a figure recognized locally and nationally. When he came to our booth, I experienced a surge of emotion. As a chef, I love to share what I cook with the public, regardless of who they are. In this case, what was in the forefront of my mind was the fact that this was the high-profile attorney who represented several sexual predators and abusers including Jeffrey Epstein. @good_pierog!
I have no desire to argue about the legal system in the U.S., or one's right to a fair trial. But, I personally know too many sexual abuse survivors. Mr. Dershowitz consciously decided to befriend and defend men who have been accused of abusing and harming women. The food we make is a labor of love, it's our craft. In our minds and hearts, selling to Alan Dershowitz was the equivalent to supporting his decisions and statements. It caused me to pause and question my willingness to sell to him and when I did, he began to harass us, misgender me, and film us without our consent. @good_pierogi
In the days that followed, Mr. Dershowitz chose to execute a public smear campaign. If not for the traction gained from his one-sided, mythical storyline, we would have remained silent. However, the continued aggression and threats of groundless litigation have been followed by the distribution of defamatory flyers where we conduct business in an effort to cement further falsehoods. He has also taken to the internet and used the news media to circulate his fiction. I do not wish to argue with Mr. Dershowitz about Israel. But, to contextualize his hurtful rant, I think it would be helpful to share a bit about myself and our business: @good_pierog!
The owners of Good Pierogi, the chefs and vendor Dershowitz has been harassing, just posted a statement about the situation. I’ll post all 6. Last two in my reply.
He was passing out paper copies of this in person over the weekend - glad to see him doubling down on slander without a factual basis. So jazzed to buy a ton of pierogi on Wednesday.

Tigers vs Phillies pitch tracker showing an umpire who doesn’t seem to know where the strike zone is
Seriously what gives with this ump
Pitch map for Phillies vs Tigers showing that tonight’s umpire apparently needs his strike zone to come with alt text as well because there were 3 called balls that should have been a strike.
The rare 4 strike walk.
So Dersh changes his whole pierogi story from one about politics to one about antisemitism… clearly without doing any research on who he was smearing!
A post from Dril in 2020 mocking Alan Dershowitz for posting embarassing content
There’s always a @dril.bsky.social post.
This guy is really gonna post through every single L he takes for the rest of his life. The best part is that he tried to get local cops to intervene and after awhile they told him "at this point you’re interfering with this business and that is a line we’re not crossing.”
I no longer think that headlines/framing/etc in mainstream news make a first-tier difference in prez elections. (At one time they did. See: James Comey letter Oct 2016.)
But headlines/ framing / etc are tells about the mentality of a news organization.
This is a pretty depressing tell.

In fact, US foreign aid represents some of the most effective humanitarian intervention the world has ever seen. It's also great diplomacy.
Much of it was put in place by GOP presidents, such as Bush's PEPFAR program, which has saved more than 26M lives.

more and more people are saying it
The Eagles are now America’s team, because we are all that stand between Patrick Mahomes and victory. And he is simply too annoying for that to be allowed.
Each year, thousands of Americans sit in doctor’s offices and receive gut-wrenching news. Their lives are speeding toward a cliff, and they face the most important decision they’ll ever make: follow a bleak path offered by their doctor or seek hope in the unknown by joining a clinical trial.
Imagine that, a government that felt passionately about trying to save lives amidst the worst global health crisis in a century.
Best post so far on this site
Excerpt from an August 2020 BuzzFeed News story that reads: On July 22, a Facebook employee posted a message to the company’s internal misinformation policy group noting that some misinformation strikes against Breitbart had been cleared by someone at Facebook seemingly acting on the publication's behalf. “A Breitbart escalation marked ‘urgent: end of day’ was resolved on the same day, with all misinformation strikes against Breitbart’s page and against their domain cleared without explanation,” the employee wrote. The same employee said a partly false rating applied to an Instagram post from Charlie Kirk was flagged for “priority” escalation by Joel Kaplan, the company’s vice president of global public policy. Kaplan once served in George W. Bush’s administration and drew criticism for publicly supporting Brett Kavanaugh’s controversial nomination to the Supreme Court.
In his video, Zuckerberg said "fact-checkers have just been too politically biased."
In reality, Facebook's own executives, namely Joel Kaplan, had been biased toward removing penalties from right-wing publishers.
Our story from 2020: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/crai...
Honestly would have been more appropriate for Zuckerberg to have made his announcement yesterday so it was on the anniversary of an event his social media platforms helped foment.
due to the intimate nature of the hoagie room
Just “Go Birds”-ed a guy sitting at the bar at a Colorado pizzeria. The guy turning pizzas in the oven, without missing a beat or even looking immediately chimed in with one.
Lots of people mocking me here for using the Philadelphia Phanatic's full name. Respect is dead in this country.
“you will be visited by three spirits”
the spirits:
This is absolutely correct. I enjoyed it before kids, and now I turn into an absolute puddle for the last 20 minutes of the movie when the multi-dimensional, galaxy-sized plot becomes about a parent and a child.
A must-read: Patrick Chandler Brown — named after the PCB chemicals dumped in his community — purchased the plantation where his great-grandfather was enslaved and is in the process of transforming it to serve farmers like him
Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are.

Hope Netflix has another season of “Full Swing” cooking that includes Joel Dahmen plugging away in the wind and cold to keep his tour card by an inch. Nice to see a good thing happen to a good guy.
