Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.
- The “all straight men talk and think about women like this” trope is not only gross, not only untrue, but also just very sad. Imagine being so panicked about gender you read caricatures of masculinity as normative
- Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...
- You’ll be shocked to hear that these emails about a Portland woman Epstein paid to have treated by a local would-be-celebrity psychiatrist open with a description of her body.

- As a billionaire myself, I have to say I can’t think of anyone I know personally who doesn’t just get all their news from Chris Rufo group chats. If I’m not reading the paper, surely nobody is?

- Reposted by DustinSome jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...
- I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

- Reposted by DustinJust got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.
- Reposted by DustinI just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

- Reposted by DustinThe Portland Metro Chamber (PBA) just published its top 3 legislative priorities for 2026 and #1 is… Using public (city and state) money to renovate the Moda Center… They also want tax cuts and the ability for cities to arrest houseless people easier. The ruling class is completely out of touch.

- An earlier stance like this led to me taking our company off of hootsuite. Lovely to see their policies haven't changed in the years since.
- Under capitalism, only exploiting externalities will satisfy the metabolism of capital accumulation, and enshittification is just the process by which externalities are found in a user base itself.
