See, my whole problem is that all I want to be doing is reading and eating bread, but I have to do other stuff in order to buy bread and books.

Just ate an everything bagel and ended up with a large pile of birdseed that had fallen off the bread. Feels like I should compost it to reduce methane emissions.

You're not paying less in taxes, but the services available to you are decreasing. Now ask yourself where all your money is going!

Anything that is put forth as a miracle and proof of the Divine can be explained by some combination of physics, probability, and/or psychology. So many holy books are based on false premises that it feels like a safe bet to say they're all wrong and God probably doesn't exist

I am 14 pages into 1491 by Charles C. Mann and have decided to take up pottery so I can make a coffee mug in the shape of an Olmec head

My primary motivation for getting out of bed today was realizing I only had so many office days left to wear fun Halloween outfits. I brought a jar of apple butter with me to put on my bagel

Remember when a purported BLM group called Dallas Justice Now sent letters to rich white people telling them not send their kids to Ivy League schools, and it turned out that Dallas Justice Now was a hoax created by Crowds on Demand at the behest of a Republican megadonor? I do!

The "Texas Transgender Student Union" that sent out mailers, which have become a major controversy among Republicans, is a real organization — but it was only formed in September in Wyoming as an LLC and is entirely separate from TENT, the organization marketed in the fliers.

We came to the realization AI may be the one crafting quotes politicians send out after reporting from a previous story revealed several flagged statements from electeds cityandstateny.com/politics/…

Encountering AI in elected officials’ statements

City & State set out to survey New York City Council members on affordable housing, but received several AI-generated responses instead.

It's true that men usually prefer books by men, but that preference isn't biological, it's sociological. At the end of the day, it's believed that women write about women's feelings and men write about the human condition.

Having a train that takes you directly to the airport is genuinely one of the top 10 things a city can offer. No expensive taxis, no sitting in traffic, no begging someone to drop you off. Just get on the train and arrive at the airport. Every major city should have this.

I was a teacher before law school. I couldn’t convince teenagers to wear deodorant. The idea that teachers are convincing kids that they should get sex changes is utterly ludicrous.

There's a real effort from a class of very aloof, sensible economists to undermine the emerging antitrust movement. They fell over themselves to dismiss "greedflation," a theory that keeps finding validation, as hysterical populism. Egg on their faces, I guess.

When the cost of eggs spiked in 2022, economists said bird flu alone was to blame. Anyone who suspected corporate price-fixing was dismissed as a crank. Inside the alleged egg cartel the experts said couldn’t exist. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Maybe There Was an Egg Cartel After All

For years, economists dismissed collusion as crankery and blamed bird flu for high prices. Then the feds found evidence that could prove the cranks right, and almost nobody noticed.

This is a fascinating read nytimes.com/2026/10/18/us/oj…

O.J. Simpson, a Secret Informant and a Decades-Old Mystery (Gift Article)

An “extremely reliable” informant told authorities about the missing murder weapon, according to newly unsealed records. The informant’s brother told The Times his sibling was at the crime scene.

Most people in France can't afford housing. They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast. They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.
