In my view, Amy Coney Barrett kicking off her book tour by doing a sold-out event with Bari Weiss and publishing an exclusive excerpt in The Free Press should end the "Supreme Court justices are not motivated by ideology" discourse once and for all ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

I have a theory about the identity of the perpetrator here

Ted Cruz v @tedcruz
X.com
Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston.
TXDOT has been notified & I'm sure sure they will remove it expeditiously.
But, in the meantime, Texans don't have to look at this hateful garbage anymore.

And then it’s a picture of Ted Cruz painting over graffiti that says “fuck Charlie Kirk”

The Washington Post sent me a push alert for this dreck, and I would like to know who made that decision so I can incite them to meet me in the Octagon

Honestly wild to see a newspaper that has spent years propping up John Roberts as an "institutionalist" continue to treat him like the Principled Reasonable Justice. It's like they heard his "balls and strikes" speech at his confirmation hearing and have absorbed no new information since.

EARNEST POST: A decade ago yesterday, while working as a law firm associate, I got started as the nights-and-weekends blogger at GQ. As far as “first jobs in media” go, it was an incredible, basically-unheard of opportunity. I learned so much from so many smart people, and I am forever grateful.

The Washington Post opinion section is an elaborate experiment to find the least compelling angle on everything

As the weather cools and the leaves change color, take in the beauty of Earth while getting some exercise if you're able. Just don't be under the illusion that you're rebelling against modernity. Hiking is fun only because of the industrial revolution.

One thing to know about me is that if I see something in a grocery store and part of my brain thinks “wow that looks disgusting,” another, louder part of my brain is going to decide “and therefore I must try it”

DAD CHAT (non-gendered): If I wait longer to buy a new grill (the Wirecutter recommendation, I’m basic) as we get in to the fall, how much more can I realistically expect prices to drop

Not how this works, ma’am! No one made you say all that. You decided to be an anti-trans celebrity. If you don’t like the “distractions” of a bunch of thirsty bigots showing up at your games, then you should have kept that shit to yourself. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

The biggest flex in an email auto-reply I've ever seen. It must have felt INCREDIBLE to write that.

Thank you for your email.  I retired on August 31, 2026, so please reach out to

If you are a journalist who is still writing columns premised on the idea that John Roberts is an "institutionalist," I think it should be legal for me to come to your place of work and confiscate your keyboard for a minimum of six months

Don't know anything about these teams, but by the time the clip flashed John Brown and William Quantrill I was ready to drive to Jefferson City and burn down the capital myself
