While working for The New York Times Bari Weiss said she was snubbed by fellow journalists because of her righteous but unpopular RW views In fact her peers hated her because she was a raging narcissist I’ve known a few like her in my decades in journalism. There aren’t many but they are poison

RIP Betty Reid Soskin

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

We’ve gone from bootlegging whiskey during prohibition to having to bootleg truth during fascism…

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

But of course they found a whalefall right when I went to bed. That's a rare find! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 883 #argentiniandeepseeps #MarineLife #CONICET

Kennedy is on a mission to destroy all the vaccines that has helped to keep us all safe. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

A reminder that CBS is owned by Paramount. Paramount’s CEO is David Ellison. David’s father Larry Ellison is the third-richest person on Earth and a major Trump donor.

So stressed. Needing $50 in 9 hours or I'm FUCKED. I've been trying for two weeks to cover this shit, and the stress is literally causing my guts to bleed (that and the prescription ibuprofen I'm taking for pain). Please #helpsky, let me get a #solsticemiracle PayPal.me/starbroken

“”LLMs allow me to find research for the first time!” My brother in Christ, have you ever heard of a library?

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support. Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This year, many people resigned their posts at the slightest hint that the Trump regime was displeased with them instead of staying and making someone fire them. Sharyn Alfonsi is showing us why you stay and refuse: you make clear your superiors are wrong and may them pay the costs of firing you.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Ohio EPA considers allowing data centers to dump wastewater in state waterways. #pollution #datacenters #water #wastewater #waterway #Ohio https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/ohio-epa-considers-allowing-data-centers-to-dump-wastewater-in-state-waterways/YHGTTJ3XHJDCTJ3SQJXX6JHWI4/

🌵 An enthusiastic crowd showed up outside of Juan Ciscomani’s Tucson office this morning to spread the word about his lies and the harm he is causing his CD-6 constituents and our democracy. We will be there again next Saturday from 9:00am to 11:00am. Please come and join us!

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Incoming health care changes mean more overall struggles for Ohioans, advocates say ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/15/i...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We're getting Jake Paul AND Andrew Tate punched in the face as PPV events in one week? IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. I don't want to seem greedy in the face of such blessings, but if we get the Big Beautiful Obituary before Thursday on top of it, I swear I'll start going to church again.

after all, it is the season we celebrate virgins

The stench of Donald Trump will cover America for decades. Because it’s not just about him. It’s about the people that elected him. And could elect the next traitorous “tell me everything I want to hear” lying Nazi. America never dealt with its racism.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Reuters, CNN: Christmas shopping on credit is up in 2025; as a vanishing middle class is strained to the upmost just keeping their heads above water, the wealthiest 10% generate almost half of consumer spending. Increased sales figures are driven by inflation, not increased disposable income.

NBC: Long time Pentecostal minister Joe Campbell, who for 50 years “ministered” to thousands of children across four states, arrested on child sexual abuse charges in Oklahoma, after decades of complaints by victims. It took a NBC News investigation to get law enforcement to act.

AltNPS encouraging their followers to "turn into investigators" reminds me of Q pushing anons on 8chan to "follow the white rabbit" in ways that I really, really don't like.

Just a few years ago every one of the GOP was “upset” about Hunter Biden’s laptop….

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Most transparent admin in history? These redactions are an absolute mockery of the survivors of Epstein’s abuse and the American people. The DOJ is still compelled by our subpoena to release the full, unredacted files to the Oversight Committee. This cover up must end.

Anti-abortion activists in the US have created a new chatbot to dissuade people from abortion using misinformation and deception - the two main strategies of "crisis pregnancy centres." This is basically a digital CPC designed to reach many more people.

ENEMY FEMINISMS by Sophie Lewis is an unflinching tour of two hundred years of enemy feminisms, making the case instead for the bold, liberatory feminist politics we need. @haymarketbooks.org www.pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/UfU8gx4...

Trump toady Mike Lee is once again angling to sell out America’s birthright to his rich donor buddies www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Bannon’s like, “What can I say to make people forget that I knowingly coached a sexual predator to help him repair his image?”

“Transparency”

Ahmed Al Ahmed, the hero of Bondi Beach who survived, was presented with a cheque for $2.5 million dollars by Zachery Dereniowski, a Canadian social media influencer and co-organiser of the GoFundMe page. His first reaction was to ask "I deserve it?" Zachary assured him "every penny."

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.

By a vote of 51-42, the Senate invoked cloture on Sara Bailey to be Director of National Drug Control Policy. Republican Senator Paul voted No. Senators not voting: booker, Curtis, Durbin, Kelly, Smith, Warren, & Whitehouse. This was the last vote today.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday? Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense
