New most insane Republican in Congress just dropped
But ended with a shoutout to @ZohranKMamdani.
“Hey Zohran Mamdani, the last time there was a battle between the North versus the South, the North won. You understand me?”
“…I’m in the North, you’re in the South, I know who you are. You ain’t messing with me.” 🎤

My first book explored the world of Dunder Mifflin. For my second one, I decided to revisit a more serious office: Sterling Cooper. It was an adventure that took me nearly two years to complete. I can't wait for you to read it.

Mr. Ossoff, sir, I am sorry we never wrote up the new Imagine Dragons album. This is hard to explain but during this era of the site, we thought it would "say more" about the album when we didn't review it? Does that make sense? Good luck with everything.

For those of you mercifully confused by this and her whole... thing, Nicki Minaj wants two things: a pardon for her brother (who was convicted of sexually abusing an 11 year old girl in New York State, a pardon that can only be granted by the governor) and a pardon for her husband (he didn't register as a sex offender in California, a federal offense, which can only be pardoned by the President.)

RIP David Moulton, who carved out a helluva career as a spotter. He stood next to Gary Danielson every Saturday and @TroyAikman every Sunday and Monday.
When I asked which nuggets were his, Moulton said, “Spotters don’t want to take credit for anything." theringer.com/2020/09/14/nfl…

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opini…

A few weeks ago, I sat down with Gwen Danielson, a close friend of Ziz LaSota's, co-founder of the Rationalist Fleet, and a participant in the 2019 CFAR protest. It's the first time any "Zizian" has spoken outside of court appearances: rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
If you've been following this story at all, Danielson has a lot of insights to share: rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
