I have a theory, their humor works much better in a sketch comedy show format but their rates exceeded what TV executives would pay and so we’re here.

Well, yeah. They’re using that as pretext to kick people off. Then what? They should just die? As a supposed doctor, Oz should be ashamed of himself.

Pelley and 60 minutes really were the gold standard for Serious Journalism and that they already felt the need to “balance” a story about the murder of innocent civilians by federal goons by implying they deserved it is an indictment of the entire industry

Fact, worth quoting

“What they're not saying is that ALPRs are also frequently used for extremely low-level investigations, such as verifying whether a student lives within a particular school zone…police have even used this tech to conduct employment background checks and investigations into loud music complaints.”

not even the first magazine cover this year to essentially spoof on the idea of a specifically “girly” Gen Z socialist-esq aesthetic, only a hop skip and a jump from Teen Vogue’s visuals! now from the right as well as the left, wonder if Jacobin and The Economist planned together

For D.C. native India Kea, growing up the National Mall felt less like the "real" city and more like D.C. dressed up for company. In our latest Ask A D.C. Native column, she explains what residents can take away from being a tourist in their own city for a day. 51st.news/ask-a-dc-nat...

“and so I instructed my producers to find images in which we see the protesters acting aggressively.” He was already engaged in putting a finger on the scale for the regimes narrative; it just wasn’t enough for Weiss.

He also blows the whistle on the biased journalism he was already engaged in, pushing the lie that both sides are equally responsible, erasing power. “I felt it was very important to identify that the protesters themselves were being very aggressive and that they were half of these confrontations,”

This is a pet peeve for me because so many people who at least imagine they know better have decided the only way to have public goods is by demanding someone somewhere else sacrifice for their principles rather than just using public mechanisms to provide for all.

You can find free art in museums and libraries which procure works of art for people to enjoy publicly. This Seth guy seems ignorant of the concept of public funding to artist for the purpose of producing public art.

What.

people don't really think about it that way, but the fact is that people in small states have each exponentially more power to determine the direction of the senate and the country than do those of us in much more populous states.

No amount of condescension towards local US voters can equal the real, undemocratic power those voters' decisions have, in practice, over people in other places. How politically helpful that condescension is locally is another question. But expecting the world to prioritize that is a lot to ask.

My feeling about this is that nobody electing the people running a superpower gets to complain about anybody on earth commenting on their politics. None of your congressional politics are so local that they can't get thousands across the world killed. That's just not true of most other countries.

Reporting inmates in Delaney are doing yoga is copaganda. And if they are doing yoga, so what? George Jackson did workouts in his cell and emphasized importance of diet and exercise. And he pushed activists to theorize the prison as social control. And he said his consciousness was that of a slave.

Looking America's colonial violence in pursuit of global capitalist control straight in the face is the only way forward. There's no reforming this monstrosity. There's only dismantling it and working hand in hand with the people we exploited to create something better.

We have to study decolonization efforts to defeat fascism while keeping in mind that we can no longer launder what it is we did as the order defining hegemon, meaning we can't hide behind "benevolent action" narratives that hid cruelty, and working with those we oppressed in solidarity.

We've had a political project that stole tens of trillions from us, but it was hidden behind star spangled rhetoric and promises of security, but as we steer further into fascism we can see there's no disguising the project, which is necessary because capitalism now requires expedited extraction.

America has experienced Neoliberal austerity as well as surveillance, exploitation, apartheid politics, and state violence, but the shift is toward a more overt project that doesn't hide behind a smiling veneer and lofty, disguising rhetoric. It's pure, unvarnished cruelty in action and catharsis.

What we're experiencing now makes more sense when you understand neoliberal authoritarianism as a means that made the global market work, what with partnerships with criminal dictatorial regimes, has been experienced here through "softer" / hidden means but is now coming into full bloom.

It helps to think about fascism as the moment the oppression a state exerts on countries they consider colonies and "lesser" peoples swings back around to the homeland and the same tactics of extraction, exploitation, and control become more widespread among their own citizens.

Yeah. This ain’t it. At all. People who are actually from a place have every right to point that out to people who aren’t. If your feelings get hurt about it, that’s probably for a reason.

OK! So my suspicion here is that the role of AI in this fiasco is overexaggerated because the company is trying to find a scapegoat that isn't "Korean Starbucks is run by conservatives and Korean conservatives' brains have rotted from the inside out."

Yay for TT and Kat for their doubles win!🏆

The President needs to go to the big game and immediately fall asleep in the owner’s box before leaving in the middle of the second quarter, so the arena has to become an airport. Thank you Sir

When people say “But my autistic child learned how to do this from ABA!” They probably mean their kid benefitted from 1:1 teaching. Autistic kids do NOT need ABA therapy to learn. But they may need individualized supports. Fight for funding those supports. thinkingautismguide.com/2025/03/when...

“detained… since February while awaiting trial” though…

you gotta read this piece as it is outstanding but this is my favorite part

Regressive taxation. The problem is most acute outside of big cities, though.

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

Holy shit, Stacey King died??? Loved that dude, gonna miss him. Thoughts to @adamamin.bsky.social as well

Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career.

Like this is bad, the fact that this wasn’t enough for Bari is worse… “We also included a picture of Alex Pretti before he was killed kicking out a taillight on a police car and made a point of saying, this is Alex Pretti and this is what he did.”

And this is the killer part, this industry wide instinct is exactly what paved the way for the Bari’s of the world.

“The conditions in Gaza were certainly teratogenic. There is a severe lack of sanitation, a lack of clean water, displacement & an unsafe ability to get prenatal care.” In this Q&A, nurse Sandra Adler Killen outlines the devastating conditions for mothers & babies under Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The thing to remember about LA County politics is that the type people who hate the City of Los Angeles enough to vote for Spencer Pratt carved out hyper segregated municipal exclaves for themselves decades ago

I keep saying Threads is where the Black folks are and people get mad about this but here’s an example of material consequences of BSky being less popular with (Black) people

When visiting “Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985” at the Getty, writer Nereya Otieno had the “peculiar feeling of peeking behind a curtain in my own house and discovering new things about a topic I thought I knew well.”

"When prison systems refuse to let trans people live authentically and safely as themselves, that refusal becomes part of their punishment."

A regional order organized around Israeli impunity requires levels of coercion that are accelerating American decline. The Gulf states understand this, though each nation is drawing different conclusions. www.bostonreview.net/articles/obj...

this really stuck out to me, too.
