Ten weeks is too much run-up time to Halloween and ten minutes is too little time to take all that shit down on November 1.

We’re in a moment when attitude is nearly as powerful as ideology, because we all need courage. And these are two ways of summoning it

My dad grew some chillies this year, and dried them into flakes. He knows I love hot food, and told me they have "a bit of a kick". I tried some yesterday, and have since been unable to blink in unison, for fuck's sake.

@joshtpm.bsky.social Another O.G. writes from the trenches about what 2026 has brought to the news websites. "Over the past 5-10 years or so, social media platforms went from prioritizing news traffic to burying it."

A "60 Minutes correspondent" is a full-time investigative journalist who researches, writes, and hosts in-depth segments. Ross Douthat will fail not due to his headful of lazy ideas but the demands of a full-time gig. He hasn't put in a solid 40-hour work week in decades. It will break him.
