Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

Ummm not the A-Block story but measles broke out at the migrant shelter in my neighborhood. So that’s also cool.

Happy ‘77 Blackout Day! I wrote a story about the Mets game that night a few years back. Talked to Lenny Randle, Howie Rose, Phillies pitcher Ray Burris and a then teenager from NJ who wouldn’t make it home for 24 hours. Enjoy. LGM www.vice.com/en/article/k...

Blackout At Home: When The Lights Went Out At Shea Stadium In 1977www.vice.com 40 years ago Thursday, the lights went out in New York and the city was plunged into 25 hours of chaos. Here's what that was like at Shea Stadium.

The coolest thing I learned in the Little Steven doc is that he once made a short film with Ben Affleck and Michael Imperioli with a score by Mick Fleetwood.

In terms of story propulsion, Midnight Run is a perfect screenplay. Serrano got the disks.

Things are so rotten we need to share stuff that made our week a bit better. The All of It conversation w/Allison Stewart & Pati Junichi on the 100th birthday of Caesar Salad was super entertaining and informative. Now I want one from Speedy Romeo, best in NYC. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

I was today age when I realized Thom Yorke has been cosplaying Southside Johnny since the 90s.

In 2 weeks, I heard the bullshit Malcolm Gladwell’s “10,000 hours” thing from both my daughter’s middle school principal at graduation and Paul freaking McCartney in the Little Steven doc. I always say when asked about “making it” as a writer, have a huge platform. www.vox.com/science-and-...

The “10,000-hour rule” was debunked again. That’s a relief.www.vox.com Improvement is exhausting. It’s okay to enjoy when you don’t excel.

Your move, Hemingway

L-I-B-E-R-T-Y Lunchtime W hell yeah

As a longtime magazine fact-checker this thread is nightmare fuel. (Which is what your average koala bear lives on, not eucalyptus, according to “the internet.”)

So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

Wrote this in 2019 for the 20th anniversary of Hannibal, which remains among the biggest publishing events in modern history. Wild the the book (a mess but an honest attempt at a Grand Guignol grotesquerie) and movie (a punch-pulling mess) have kinda been forgotten. crimereads.com/hannibal-lec...

JFC Thacker, that is not a “private family matter” if her daughter gave the story to you and you verified it? Hack.

So, we're going to be real with you: This is an ad. hellgatenyc.com/membership

Taylor Fritz taking out Zverev brings out the inner-jingoist like nothing else. USA! USA! USA!

Growing up in Montana in the 1980s, we were all aware of The Order. An extremely violent neo-Nazi group from the Pacific NW that murdered multiple people including talk show host Alan Berg. (“A Hundred Little Hitlers” is the book to read about it.). Anyway, seems relevant no?

And the fact that the piece didn't even mention that northern Idaho has been regarded as a haven for neo-Nazis and white supremacists since the Aryan Nations set up shop there in the 1970s is just a gobsmacking omission.

I know this post will probably get too many likes but it must be said: This Caleb Martin signing is mad tight

Took me a minutes but yeah this kills.

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.
