She gave us the best tweet archive update ever lol

A paper I've written for for years is giving a more respectful hearing to a woman who violated every tenet of journalistic ethics to conduct an affair with repulsive Nazi eugenicist with the blood of hundreds of children on his hands than it did to its own staff & contributors re: BLM & trans rights

well, that's (another) dealbreaker for Josh Shapiro in 2028 www.eenews.net/articles/rgg...

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

trumps administration is the largest looting of the working class funneled up to the wealthy in history

LeCarré nails this, too. Even in the corridors of power, they're fidgeting with coal space heaters, drinking coffee concentrate, the cars do not work. "The West", in his estimation, doesn't reflexively command loyalty. He gives Haydon plausibility that way, makes Smiley feel old as HMS Victory.

The actual controversial “most woke opinion” is that liberalism is good, tolerance and pluralism are really important values we should protect in law, protecting these values requires sincere deliberation from our leaders, our citizenry, and our judiciary about sometimes-contradictory values

The only thing more embarrassing than being an American right now is being from somewhere else and realizing this was your hegemon.

MAGA’s ongoing war on academic freedom, reflected in headlines from the last 24 hours.

There’s no such thing as a contradiction if you are stupid and also don’t care

The headline doesn’t come close to doing all the illegality described in this article justice. apnews.com/article/fann...

“So you’ve heard nothing from this administration as this has been playing out?” Epstein Survivor Annie Farmer: “No.”

What makes people furious is of course how the NYT uses its own wide discretion about what to pursue, what to beat the drum on, when to have qualms about running with something, and when to just put it out there. There’s the rules, and then there’s the rules about when you apply the rules.

Pedocon theory

Google considers ICE agents to be a vulnerable group in need of protecting but does not consider the immigrants they're hunting down to be vulnerable group www.404media.co/google-has-c...

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

More than anything else, powerful men - like the ones who run the NYT - believe in the legitimacy of power itself. Because if it isn’t legitimate, they have to start asking hard questions about the world and themselves.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

I think about this alot. Driving 40 miles is 'convenient' for the car. But strapping yourself in a little box for an hour, jockeying for space on a ribbon of asphalt, circling for parking... That's not convenient. Commuting is a heavy burden.

Fuck this absolute piece of shit

HE WAS RUNNING A CATCH AND KILL OPERATION FOR AN ELITE CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING OUT OF YOUR OWN OFFICES AND IT IMPLICATED THE PRESIDENT DIRECTLY

I actually think this is a fair point and it’s hard to know precisely what you’d publish out of these emails. It’s just maddening in comparison to the NYT’s willingness to absolutely obsess over scurrilous rumors about Biden dementia, Clinton email non-scandals, etc.

Also let me just say that the NYT is so dysfunctional that — & I don’t think I’ve said this publicly before — a polemic at the national desk stole the JWST story where he defamed me from the science desk without even telling them he was doing it. And editorial let this happen.

It's astounding how much CO₂ we put into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuels. For comparison, we all agree that plastic pollution is bad, but the mass of ALL THE PLASTIC humanity has ever produced is only 25% of the CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere in 2025.

“The New York Times doesn’t think a couple of emails is newsworthy” they think you’re stupid.

the owners of these outlets are foundationally shitty people who genuinely have no idea what they're doing me, in 2022:

extraction class DC political gossip rags written by and for brunchlords are a cancer to the body politic

We always look back at how overboard the NYT went on Hillary's emails, but I think it's also informative how underboard they went on Access Hollywood tape. The very first story led with his apology, as if that was more important than the existence of the tape itself.

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

Combine these actions of suppressing Trump stories with the amount of her email stories and you realize the times was slanting the narrative for an agenda.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

I'm doing research on Direct File at the moment, and DOGE people at IRS did not understand that they were firing the best tech talent *because all of those were probationary.* We still don't have a good number of how many people were purged and under what conditions. Fells like we should know that.

Even if we were to believe Krauss was the victim of multiple spurned women who were constantly throwing themselves at him, emailing the world's most notorious pedophile sex trafficker for advice seems to undermine his defense.

The DOGE cuts seemed to focus on tax teams that pursued enforcement of high income earners. The IRS had been building up enforcement on this area because most of the tax gap is driven by higher earners. Lax enforcement could cost hundreds of billions. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/five-quest...

Every single time! Epstein will write: "porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no" and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying: "You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Man I resent the idea that New York needs to be unpleasant to live in to be authentic so much, it’s pervasive and it holds the city back in so many ways

how aren’t they just run out of town

genuinely very few things more satisfying than reading the kinds of emails rich and famous people send each other

so basically what happened was: ICE / CBP abducted ~1800 people from across the chicago area during june to oct, & did most of it without warrants. of those ~1800 people, only ~750 are still in the us & ~135 aren't eligible for release. the injustice of everything these people will never get back.

Once again - you’re an absolute rube if you support or respect the NYT. They want to actively misinform you and run cover for the worst people imaginable
