Mistakenly using "fiancé" to refer to a woman is an understandable mistake, it's a weird rule for a monolingual English speaker. I don't know how you get to "fiancée" when referring to a man.
Haley Stevens’ fiancée says he’s putting “country over party” to endorse Mike Rogers. I joined CBS News to ask which country he’s talking about.

Why is it so hard for progressive politicians to just tell these people to fuck off? Is there one person with a spine left?
On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has. On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit. The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out. Full statement here:

So you're telling me this guy's on the Left... but he's against identity politics and wokeness?! WTF

Michigan’s Muslim population is 2-3 times larger than its Jewish population. The feelings of the latter get blanket attention, whereas I’ve seen no analysis or reporting on how Michigan Muslims feel about Rogers’ messaging and ads suggesting his Muslim opponent is a terrorist
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

you wonder how hitler came to power and then you see a doddering obese pedophile with tertiary syphilis yell “BLACK PEOPLE” to a crowd of midwestern filth. looks like it could happen here
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Aside from the stupidity of this, i'm so sick of these nerds saying "update your priors"
DSA fans really need to update your priors about DSA- which is now dabbling in anthrax attacks against Dem members of Congress

tiresome Twitter "greatest"--"best"--"highest"--"most favorite"--everything hyperbolic, amplified. even a classicist mimicking the simpleminded either/or of MAGAspeak. maybe the "greatest" poem ever written is five lines long & was written by Emily Dickinson. why not?
The greatest poem ever written is the Iliad. There is simply no question. The only challenge for each reader, whenever and wherever, is to find their own route to seeing how and why that is the truth. (It took me 22 years from first read.)
