fewer americans are paying for open casket funerals. what does this bode for the craft of necrotic beautification known as "restorative art"? for the new issue of @Harpers, i met with morticians to trace the history, and future, of their dying art. harpers.org/archive/2026/08/…

he also looks like a fuckin Guess Who? character.
Jason is vaporizing Haley’s future so that he can be a main character in this moment and it is sad to watch her participate in that. He was an extraordinarily toxic presence, was verbally abusive to staff and had some of the worst political instincts I’ve ever witnessed.

Stevens final days antics aren't helpful for El-Sayed. But her behavior increasingly looks publicly like what it is: an already pretty weird person completely crashing out/having some kind of psychotic break on the national stage. Even anti-AES Dems are aghast/embarassed.
Replying to @daveweigel
Murphy calling Stevens an “RNC Quisling” sums up the view of the just-win-baby Dems (most of them, very few are protest voting against AES)

There’s literally not a single world that exists where this is a foul on VJ Edgecombe… How in the hell can you review this & still decide it was a foul? What are we doing? What’s going on? Embarrassing @OfficialNBARefs
