perhaps what chaps my ass the most about these kinds of pieces is the fact that racial disparities in most fields are pretty well documented and easy to prove but the newspaper will still run infinity op-eds about white dudes being discriminated against based on anecdata, unprovable stories, vibes

i have no idea what day it is anymore, please do not tell me

yes but if you’ve got a car in this town you’re basically allowed to do whatever you want

lol I started cooking dinner waaayyyy too late

im sorry what

giving these movies another try, and already resonating spiritually with the description of hobbits as chill ass gardeners who like to read books and play chess and bake goods and get baked

what, in your opinion, is the strongest entry in the film genre of “asshole discovers the true meaning of christmas”

To me, my X-Mas!

watching this right now, as tradition demands. i have watched this a bazillion times and im still always struck by how beautiful the opening credits are.

a thing i have been thinking about is how a few months ago we were all pissed about those comedians performing in saudi arabia but this big music festival just happened and there does not seem to be any of the same criticism for cardi b et al who headlined…but maybe im missing something?

looking even cooler and cooler that Denver’s mayor overrode a city council vote to continue using Flock cameras in the city

i am currently on a customer service call with someone who seems to be using some kind of AI voice modifier and it's very eerie. definitely seems like a real person, but the speech patterns are unnatural, sometimes she has an accent and sometimes she doesn't, i feel kind of like i'm hallucinating.

Teens everywhere enjoying the forbidden 60 Minutes video, they call it Rooney Maxxing, going Leslie Stahl mode, they go to parties dressed as Scott Pelley

she bungled this so thoroughly my god

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

it’s hot out what the fuck

The most impressive thing about Bari is her ability to violate ethical principles while indignantly claiming to defend them.

there is a moral imperative to leak this segment and let the american people see for themselves what weiss wanted to suppress. put it out in the world and let her explain exactly what she thought was missing.

i got very nice headphones for an early Xmas gift and i am once again reminded that listening to music with headphones is (checks notes) low key goated

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

If you are involved with this report, or have any information about the process involved in today's decision, please reach out. I am on Signal: crg.32

there were simply not enough pro-CECOT voices in the segment

betting bari made these reporters go back to check whether any prisoners had pre-existing conditions

this metaphor is certainly hitting but just not the way he thinks

incredible week for the Streisand effect

now seems like a good time to remind you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free, and/or reader funded news how and where you can.

Breaking: Jeanette Vizguerra, the immigrant activist who’s been detained since March, has been granted bail, her legal team says. $5,000 with no monitoring restrictions. She’ll likely be out in 24-48 hours.
