There's a two part series by Maintenance Phase giving the background on Brand that you won't read on the BBC. Spoilers: it's bad (the background - not the episodes which are great)

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

And the video usually shows the opposite: that the agents rammed into the victim. But there are no consequences for the lies. So there’s no reason to stop telling them.

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

When you consider that Mario was already a dude in his 20s when the first game came out and he's canonically from Brooklyn, odds are hes from bentonhurst and nowadays is a retired dude complaining about Chinese immigrants taking over the neighborhood.

the anger over the plan to fight antisemitism is particularly amusing because both the fringe left from today’s protest & the Fox News right are angry over increases funding for the PATH (Partners Against Hate) program - although they are upset about different partner groups.

Back from our book tour week in London and, man, after spending time in a place that’s made so much progress as far as streets and transportation go, it’s always a shock to come home. New York just smacks you in the face with the sheer volume of cars everywhere.

The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

Totally, totally, kids cut off their parents because of "ordinary conflict." Hey, unrelatedly, here's an email I got from my father 27 years after the last time I saw him.

Dear Evil One -
    Just a Happy Halloween Wish! I hope you took the kids out Trick or Treating and they had a great time!
    Tomorrow is All Saints Day and Deb and I will be going to Mass at our local church. It struck me on this Halloween Night that the evil of witches and goblins and such is rooted in the very real evil of Satan. Hate and pain are the hallmarks of evil... the hallmarks of Satan. With all the evil and hate you have demonstrated with me, along with all the pain you have caused, it struck me that just as Deb and I will attend Catholic Mas tomorrow... will you be going to a Black Mass to worship Satan?
    It was just a question that came up as we pulled "candy duty" with all the Trick or Treaters. 
    Well, will you be attending a Black Mass?
 
Love,
 
Dad

gorgeous framing of the idea that the increase in divorces in the 70s and later was not obviously a huge net good for society as well like no no you're right, before the 70s marriages were perfect, totally equal, the lower rate of divorce was definitely not due to massive structural disincentives-

@michaelhobbes.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 1:06 PM

Umm the story actually includes super good prevalence data, how dare you

@michaelhobbes.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 1:03 PM

lmao the piece literally argues children are the problem for wanting positive relationships with their parents

@michaelhobbes.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 1:01 PM

why would you cite a survey of parents and not children to uncover the behavior of the children
