Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

One of the smartest decisions BREAKING BAD ever made was to forgo trying to explain Walt via trauma. There’s a monologue about his dad being pathetic, and his mother (who never appears on the show) is apparently A Lot, but all his flashbacks are to his adult self. He made (and ruined) his own bed.

In which I convert my longstanding beef with TV's excessive reliance on traumatic backstories into an essay! The first installment of our new Screen Shots column for the LA Review of Books:

Movies used to have Henry Rollins randomly show up in them. And you'd go "Hey, it's Henry Rollins!"

the level of editorializing outlets are comfortable with when it works in the GOP's favor is pretty wild they never seem to have this same editorializing courage when taking about, say, Amazon labor abuses

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.

the "it's the elites are working to push biden out" claim is correct in the sense that pretty much all of influence at the top level of dems (and several levels below) is 99 percent pushed by elites. however us randos feel about joe staying in or leaving, we have absolutely no influence either way

It's genuinely astonishing to me that Gizmodo, of all outlets, is the one that found the perfect headline for this story.

Heritage Foundation Denies Penetratation by ‘Gay Furry Hackers’gizmodo.com Alleged chat logs show a foundation executive having a meltdown.

Ahahaha you're the fucking Mallrats generation, you're EXACTLY who I'd mess with

As a Gen-X’er, I’m not really liking that Gen-X’ers are starting to do the “We are the generation you don’t mess with” social media shtick that Boomers were doing 10 years ago.

Such an unforced error for them to call it “Project 2025,” exactly the kind of fruity James Bond villain shit they love to claim that like UNICEF is up to

I demand you stop using this word wrong
