It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

the present is bleak isn't it?

❤️ Hakka. Through we haven’t been back in years, this was the only place we knew for dinner & drinks after work on a Friday night (and it was near the office) before the pavilion was finished. Many’s great night was had with noodles and beer!

Gamers! Go check out the DIE RPG on @bundleofholding.com. It's a great TTRPG, based on the comic by @kierongillen.bsky.social and @stephaniehans.bsky.social, designed by them as well and published by the fine folks at @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social . bundleofholding.com/presents/DIE...

I knew that FIRE and Reason and the rest of the “free speech” bros were spineless reactionary centrists. But they have been even more reluctant to criticize Trump’s war on the free press than I would have guessed.

Whether it's a low-level Biden staffer asking Facebook to correct some COVID misinformation or Donald Trump's right-hand man telling CBS to kill segment about ICE sending people to torture prisons, both sides have sought to limit free expression.

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Just to be clear, as long as you use the Bible as justification when you write the most banal, semiliterate essay at the University of Oklahoma, you will be passed otherwise they'll sack your lecturer.

Once again, an amazing fantasy bundle by @aptshadow.bsky.social here. What a deal.

"This is the part I find most interesting, Bari: you have actually made this edition of 60 Minutes the most successful episode ever, isn't that great? I mean, people are coming from all over the world to see the episode! They're even coming from Limewire to see the episode!"

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

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

Every one a banger and Dave Gilbert is a goodun

The 60 Minutes episode on CECOT that Bari Weiss tried to spike has leaked. youtu.be/lenFGZ5WUTA?...

Limewire returning at Christmas, to stick it to a Zionist murderer and her fascist friends, has me like

“the 60 minutes CECOT documentary leaked on limewire dot com” is a real sentence that’s real in this year of our lord 2025

Love this old single story restaurant in downtown KL, surrounded on all sides by skyscrapers, holding out and obviously annoyed by developers who keep making them offers. Someone get the movie rights!

"Every journalist at CBS News now knows that if you spend months working on a segment that makes the Trump administration look bad, it might get killed at the last second by someone who reports directly to a billionaire with business before the administration." www.readtpa.com/p/the-kill-s...

On the one hand, good luck to them. On the other, they're often getting citizenship via ius sanguinis of countries that are also making it harder for people who have lived in them for years (and might even have been born in them) to acquire citizenship.

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

Alfonsi was very respectful when she explained that you can't hold an investigative piece because the government refuses to comment because that's giving the government a veto. It only sounded condescending because it's so fucking obvious.

TPUSA recreated the booth where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, and attendees lined up to take selfies in it. So weird.

Someone calculated that Facebook makes more from scam advertising than the whole newspaper advertising industry is worth.

I have food in the fridge that was put in there before her husband died and she's walking around dressed like she's about to narrate a musical about the collapse of Weimar Germany.

“It’s ok to be white” was an online slogan used by overt white supremacist groups just a few years ago. Now it’s being used on stage in front of cameras by the vice president of the United States.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Read my dispatch from AmericaFest and maybe I’ll get to go to more weird things. www.ms.now/news/america...

There are more evil people in Trump's administration but no one more vacuous and despicable than Bari Weiss (and she is, de facto, in his administration.)

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

I am beginning to think the Irish government wants to see race riots

Imagine if just by refusing to comment, you could stop any story from running. You would literally never find out anything unflattering about anybody. It amounts to asking people for their blessing to publish your reporting about them.

I still feel each day that if the "new atheism" wave of the 2000s, that I saw myself as part of, had cared more about women and minorities then, just possibly, the Jordan B Petersons of the world, the manosphere & PUA freaks, and the GamerGaters might never have achieved the critical mass they did.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

I constantly think about that speech she did one time, “sure you think my marriage is immoral, but that’s ok, we all want lower taxes”

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

in the process of trying to figure out whether Trump’s DOJ shadily redacted the face of Bill Gates’ own wife as a “victim” I have uncovered a bizarre historical artifact. why are they in that order. is he their son
