RIP Sir Patrick Stewart. Always the first person to come to mind when I think "Shakespearean actor". Whether he was playing someone serious or silly, his performance would always grab my attention

The sadly now late but forever great PATRICK STEWART made one of the great guest appearances as the ‘debonair’ star conductor of the Seattle Opera Guild - Alistair Burke - in one of my favourite episodes of FRASIER (2003) RIP Sir Patrick (1940-2026)

Patrick Stewart's entire body of work, but as Picard in particular, is something that connects the person I am today with who I was as a kid. It collapses time for me. I still have the same awe and fascination with his performance and belief that it represents the best of us.

no, you did not misread that: the State Dept. OIG determined in Sept. 2025 that it would take TWELVE AND A HALF YEARS to review all the allegations of human rights abuses by IDF units that receive US military aid
NEW: A Sept 2025 IG report I obtained via FOIA request sheds light on Biden admin arms transfers to Israel: -a 12.5 year backlog for reviewing alleged human rights violations by IDF units receiving aid -outdated training/guidance -no verification that barred units didn't get aid

or we could build quality social housing for seniors to age in place with nearby access to resources, services, and supports. will they all go for it? no. have we even tried a little bit for the ones who would? Also no
.@AbdulElSayed thinks property tax for seniors should be frozen I think its generational warfare and that they should sell their houses if they can't afford them. He concedes I'm 'theoretically correct' but practically wrong Our exchange

Thank you to a former Trump official for saying what a lot of centrist Democrats refuse to. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Pretty rich for Haley Stevens to lecture Abdul El-Sayed about “hate” over an ad his campaign has explicitly disavowed while Mike Rogers is running one of the most racist and bigoted campaigns I’ve ever seen. The hate in this race is being directed at Abdul, not coming from him.

yes that’s called “hardcore music” and it’s what young men used to do in this country before the CIA built adin ross
Turnstile songs are 3 minutes of the same riff and Brendan Yates saying some shit like “the power of friendship keeps me alive/separate my friend group I’ll probably die”

DSA is the most pro-trans political formation in the country, and it’s not close.

The culturalist turn among the most rightwing flank of the US Left, which has been stridently "anti-ID politics" for a decade is so shameless. The thing they all get wrong about identity is that identity matters, yes, AND/BUT IT CAN BE SHAPED BY A CULTURAL PROJECT OF THE LEFT

Michigan’s Muslim population is 2-3 times larger than its Jewish population. The feelings of the latter get blanket attention, whereas I’ve seen no analysis or reporting on how Michigan Muslims feel about Rogers’ messaging and ads suggesting his Muslim opponent is a terrorist
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

ok why do they look like siblings
#MichiganSenate Detroit News: Haley Stevens' fiancé Jason Turkish says he believes Abdul El-Sayed is anti-semitic which has convinced him to vote for Mike Rogers. Turkish intends to attend a Mike Rogers event on Wednesday, Oct. 28, in Birmingham. There, Rogers is set to take part in a forum sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition titled, "Who Will Keep Us Safe? Rogers vs. El-Sayed in the Wake of October 7th and the Temple Israel Attack."

"A hazing incident." Seal Team 6 guys killed him after finding out he had reported their theft of government $$ and trafficking of local African women. The authorities pretended to prosecute the two ST6 operators involved but let them out of prison as soon as attention died down.
Please help me honor US Army Green Beret Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar. On June 4, 2017, the 34-year-old engineer sergeant was killed in Mali during a hazing incident by fellow special operators who broke into his room, restrained him, and applied a chokehold that led to his death by asphyxiation. From Lubbock, Texas, he served with the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) after enlisting in 2012, completed Special Forces training, and deploying twice to Afghanistan. Survived by his wife Michelle and their two sons, Melgar was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, leaving a legacy of service and a case that exposed serious issues of accountability within elite military units. Never forgotten.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Death ruled homicide by asphyxiation. Two SEALs and two Raiders charged with felony murder for chokehold in planned hazing to film sexual assault. Convicted of manslaughter/hazing; sentences 6mo-18mo after reductions. Theft cover-up motive alleged, denied. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of… news.usni.org/2021/01/24/sea…

Between this, the raft of Biden comms people who've done a "why I left the left" and the former Platner campaign manager who seems intent on sinking Jackson, I'm starting to think there's an epidemic of Dem staffers who have no actual attachment to a broader political project
