ah good, another media conglomerate whose nepo baby owner will apparently destroy it to help Donald Trump

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

Monsters walk among us

In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

The BBC is rushing this hit job out the door. Remember, the licence fee means we are obliged, under threat of criminal sanction, to pay for its racism. Screw the BBC.

Chunky Reese Witherspoon definitely ruined the workplace

Ross Douthat is only 31 years old.

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

This was a sentence in a NEWS piece, not an opinion piece, btw. NYT is very bad at keeping news and opinion separate, much of their politics reporting reads like opinion.

The NYT has earned their reputation of bring harmful and dangerous to trans people and especially trans kids. That’s entirely on them. If my kid was trans I wouldn’t trust the NYT either.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Hello! I’m Jimmy Testes, data journalist. I’m here to tell you that EVs are actually bourgeois and we shouldn’t subsidise their lifestyle so this is good actually 🤓 what do you mean you want to change that and make them more accessible to masses?! You can’t do that, the graph doesn’t let you

This actually makes him an insane person, by the way

If you’re going to allow military personnel to lie this obviously and brazenly without challenge, then you would be better to stay in London and invite them to email you YouTube clips. It would be more clear to the public what has been happening than pretending it’s something else.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

has mamdani gone full fetterman yet

ah makes sense why it was common when i was a philly area teen. think i knew that but had forgotten

Calzone and stromboli were both common when i was a teen and seem less so now?

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The DCCC has poured a ton of money into keeping you in your seat. You were being recruited to run for Senate. The idea that you don’t have room in the Democratic Party is absurd. You’re mad that you’re not in charge.

On the News Agents, Wes Streeting explains that Mamdani’s win shows how Labour’s different from the Democrats because Labour MPs are all democratic socialists, actually. LOL

Oh look at that it’s just Keir Starmer being an actual comic book villain again

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

there is a decent 'mamdani is a fluke' argument but it requires people to say 'what the fuck were dems doing getting behind cuomo' and such people aren't willing to do that

Erica Deuso is the first openly transgender person to be elected mayor in Pennsylvania. The longtime Democratic advocate defeated Republican Rich Bryant Tuesday to serve as the next mayor of Downingtown. 🔴 Live election updates: www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...

INTERVIEWER: Any comment on Zohran Mamdani's victory and what it says about immigrants and trans rights? LABOUR POLITICIAN: (panicking) I've never heard of New York

Of course, now he’s just Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Cuomo.

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

The two political scientists who published a big paper about how canvassing doesn't work in presidential elections got them all so excited - We don't have to do any actual work! Just Facebook ads! - that their names both ended up on this

We tried to tell them this in the era of blogs and howard dean meetups but sadly going dark until labor day and then spending all your money on ad companies was the only way

The dumb thing about the eric adams "future of the dem party" takes wasn't that it was *eric adams* it was that all those pundits would not normally see the close winner of a 5way dem primary in new york city as a sign of what america is demanding (and they will not with zohran,mostly correctly)

What if the Nazi Group Chat isn't a representative focus group of America? No surely it is

There’s no need to ask whether Britain’s political/media class, if forced to choose, will pick e.g. Polanski over Farage. They have proven over and over again that when push comes to shove, they will always choose carnage and disaster with the reactionary right, forever.

Wes Streeting's trying to leech on to Mamdani's win, when Mamdani literally shouted out trans people as one of his priorities in his winning speech, huh.

This is a major reason why I don’t see any point in sticking up for the BBC as a news outlet any more. You can’t help people who won’t even stand up for themselves, and in fact repeatedly present their own balls for a harder kicking.

today's Labour party posting versus yesterday's Labour party posting:

'we have lost young men' was pushed by Shor, and his source was 'i made it up'

I note the new waves of totally overt racism are both coming from the mainstream of politics, and it’s right in your face. We don’t need a priestly class of wingnut cranks to explain that some councillor’s Facebook Like is proof the entire centre and right are Hitler. We can see what they are.

bluesky isn't real life, jesse

A Bari Weiss takeover of British news establishments would be surplus to requirements.

mildly curious if even one Sensible Centrist ever said, "maybe Harris shouldn't sent Bill Clinton and Ritchie Torres" to Michigan, acknowledging that, substance of the issue aside, it was a deliberate "no, FUCK YOU" and perhaps not the messaging tactic

No reform fan but "they got into power, realized they needed to raise taxes" is not the dig people imagine

Narrator: he did not give a keynote, or any speech at all, and nobody was fired
