Ah, yes! Conservative playbook rule #3. If the shooter was Conservative, Right Wing or Alt-right, he was, in fact, a Lone Wolf, acting alone, and completely apart from any establishment beliefs or rhetoric. And that means he is 100% not the fault of the Conservative News Machine. #NotOurFault
The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.
The UK and France both telling their right factions to pound sand means we have to flip the story and get every single Democratic voter to the polls this year.
Between the election results in England and France, I’m starting to feel slightly more optimistic about the world again.
I’m sure it’s temporary, but I’m enjoying the ride.
Give me your favorite bit part and character actors and B movie actors, even anyone who’s a household name who’s made a profoundly weird career of it.

The news from the U.K. elections is the balm my black, bitter soul needed after the fuckery of US politics over the last week. It's not the cure to the ailments of the last 14yrs, but it's a good first step. Seeing so many villains of the last decade exit stage left brings me peace. Much love U.K.!
A few years ago @weinberg.bsky.social, in moment of panic and desperation, asked me to guest on his marvelous “Overhated” podcast to discuss “Doomsday.” It was my first podcast, I was very nervous, and it turned out ok (I’ve done a few more and got better). It’s no longer behind a paywall. Enjoy!!
“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.
The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones.
Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.
Three days after it was revealed that this guy's license was wrongly listed as suspended due to a clerical error, none of the publications listed here (NYT, WP, NYP, USA Today, BBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC) have issued corrections or updates.

I am truly in shock, and I didn’t even know the guy other than his podcast and online presence. RIP @scottwampler.bsky.social you will truly be missed.
The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.
Cheng “Charlie” Saephan and his wife will split the prize evenly with a friend who chipped in $100 to buy a batch of tickets with them. They are taking a lump sum payment, $422 million after taxes.
He says he will be able to “find a good doctor for myself.”
You, normal American: Wow, this is a worse dog scandal than Mitt Romney's.
Me, an Arkansan: Wow, this is almost as bad as when Mike Huckabee's son killed a dog at a Boy Scout camp and then he fired the state police chief for refusing to tell the district attorney not to investigate it.
