Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him” as a sign that he was engaging in good faith. Perhaps the perfect example of this is Ezra Klein’s silly eulogy claiming that Kirk was “practicing politics the right way” because he would debate...
The Washington Post isn’t what it used to be. While the paper is still peppered with a few decent journalists trying to do good work, the outlet is being slowly strangled to death by billionaire owner Jeff Bezos, who is steadily dismantling the last vestiges of the paper’s sagging credibility in a desperate bid to mislead the public and pay homage to our mad, idiot king.
This week the paper...
We’ve all become entirely too familiar with ACIP, the CDC panel that discusses and recommends vaccination schedules across a wide swath of vaccines. The method by which ACIP became part of the general American lexicon traces all the way back to June, when RFK Jr., as head of HHS, fired every single member of the ACIP panel he inherited.

Over the past few months, we’ve been fulfilling the orders for all the backers who helped us launch One Billion Users, the social media card game, on Kickstarter. Now that process is almost complete (except for a few backers who haven’t yet completed their orders and should do so as soon as possible) and we’re left with a very small quantity of additional copies that we’re now putting up for sale...
Donald Trump’s response to political violence this week reveals something more sinister than mere hypocrisy—it’s the deliberate construction of a false reality where only certain victims matter and only certain perpetrators exist. After days of raging about “left-wing violence” following Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Trump was asked about Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated...
There’s no slippery slope here. The bigoted fiends have already claimed the bottom of the hill for themselves and now they’re bringing in the earth-moving equipment in hopes of creating an ideological Mariana’s Trench.
Thanks to Trump’s resurgence, no one in power needs to pretend this is a good-faith effort. All that remains is seeing how shitty they can be before they’re forced out of power,...

Attorney General Pam Bondi just provided a masterclass in how to completely misunderstand the First Amendment while threatening to abuse government power to silence critics. In response to online criticism of Charlie Kirk following his assassination, Bondi declared: “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie...
Fresh off of kissing Trump’s ass to gain regulatory approval for Skydance’s merger with CBS and Paramount, the billionaire Ellison family is cooking up another terrible idea: quickly merging with whatever’s left of Time Warner.
You might recall that the AT...
