Asking every kid who shows up Trick-'r-Treating tonight dressed as Scooby-Doo if they have the express written consent of the Skydance Corporation for their costume and immediately calling the police on any family who answers "no".

Hailed by conservative Catholics as the remedy for secular liberal higher ed, he lectured the Catholic bishops about being too lax when it came to preserving Catholic identity. It’s always the ones you suspect …
Wow. Dartmouth College Provost Santiago Schnell “has resigned as provost and is leaving the university” over his use of AI. After Semafor and The Dartmouth reported on suspected AI-generated content in his writing, a faculty panel determined he had violated College policies.

US Dept of Ed officially embraces right-wing genderbent Harry Potter romance fanfic. Here's that aristocratic, traditional high culture you ordered.

That's right kids. No more messing around. It's time to put the phones away and start giving learning your full attention for a change. Now hurry up, class is about to start, everyone take our your school-issued YouTube machines.
Starting next school year, a bell-to-bell cell phone ban will take effect in every single Pennsylvania classroom. We’re getting back to the basics and keeping our classrooms focused on learning.

CARLOS EIRE WAS RIGHT. MIRACLES HAPPEN! THEY'RE REAL! THEY FLEW! LULA FLEW!
Hoping for a miracle here, but frankly, Brazil is fucked. We're done.

The obscure cult hit, "Go Your Own Way," which you may remember from niche indie films such as the Xfinity commericals and the Summer of Audi Sales Event.
Opinión impopular: Glee puso muchas canciones en el radar con sus covers, pero la manera que saco del olvido GO YOU OWN WAY de Fleetwood Mac es historico.

How much are Baby Boomers propping up American Christianity? I built a simulation: no converts, no children becoming adults. Just each denomination’s 2024 adults, assuming everyone lives to 85. Here’s how many remain through 2050.

ME. I’m the guy who liked both. And you didn’t quite understand DIGGER if this is your takeaway
It is increasingly striking, that maybe through clairvoyance or coincidence, DIGGER lampoons the exact audience for YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING. The two movies aren't so much in conversation as confrontation. I wonder if anyone loves both unequivocally.

THE MOTHER SAYS SHE’S LYING *ABOUT* THE ABUSE!!!!!!!
Vivek Ramaswamy just now on the ad with Acton’s estranged mother: “We ran an ad about lying. Amy Acton is lying. … It had nothing to do with childhood abuse, which I will be the number one governor to prosecute when I am the governor of this state because it is wrong.”

New tonight regarding bishops meeting with Trump in Oval: USCCB spokesman says: “This was not something that the USCCB organized. It is not affiliated with the Conference. I have no further information.” New report suggests Heritage Foundation (author of Project 2025) organized today’s meeting.

"This writer hundreds or thousands of years ago is speaking directly to me right now" is the absolutely ideal mode of encountering the past. Other ways are more "responsible" but above all we need to remember that these are human beings like ourselves.
goethe was 65 when he read hafez in translation, called him his twin and wrote back to a man who’d been dead in shiraz for four hundred years with the west-östlicher divan. a century later iqbal read the divan, understood it as a letter and answered goethe with payam-e-mashriq.

My favorite thing about JD Vance is that he thinks he has tons of charisma despite actually having absolutely no charisma. Leads to many hilarious moments. I’m here for all of them.
