There are way too many people in the media - even the "liberal" media - who see Donald Trump as the greatest show on earth and the best thing that ever happened to their careers.

tired of this mf giving us headlines like we're in 1832

Everyone on here should be forced to do this at least once a week (and more depending on how much time you spend).

A couple years ago, there was an article in the NYT, about how NJ had legalized sports betting but NY hadn’t and so NYers were biking to the middle of the GWB to be legally in NJ to place bets. This is when I realized this whole thing might be a problem. www.nytimes.com/2021/10/10/s...

I’m still against making sports betting illegal - better to have it run by a corporation than by the mob - but I am 100000% against “frictionless” sports betting. You should not be able to place a depraved parlay from your phone

Once wasn’t enough. Trump pardons a J6 rioter for a SECOND time. @politico.com @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

A federal appeals court upheld the hate crime convictions of three white men who chased Ahmaud Arbery with pickup trucks before one of them killed him with a shotgun

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

It's almost certain that middle-classed people did not come up with this idea

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

Alice Wong, writer and disability activist, has died. She was an educator and a communicator and a warrior who lit the way. I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her. Rest in peace.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Comforting to think that even now, Trump is experiencing some form of ice cold terror

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

A redditor argument from 20 years ago to defend lolicon is now a mainstream Republican talking point

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

So like...10 months ago

I just want to say there are a lot of journalists and writers who do real, incredible work on topics that matter while maintaining high standards. Many of them do not have stable employment or recognition from major institutions.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts

Good.

NYT: “Epstein emails a distraction from the Republican shutdown victory” WSJ: “We estimate the Epstein files to be 67% Trump by weight”

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

This is great news but it’s fucking pathetic that SCOTUS was going to let this go forward.

Flu is the cause of so many doctor's visits every winter. An apple a day might help you, but a flu shot will too.

It's gotta be frustrating for journalists scraping by and doing great work to go to NY Times dot com and read a puff piece written by a nepo baby that whitewashes a journalist who had sex with a source and has now parlayed that into a new book and a job at Vanity Fair

Are you located in the DC-Baltimore-Philadelphia-New York corridor? Have you always wanted to have your very own 11 foot long papier-mâché hammerhead shark? Now available for free! Perfect for museums, community centers, or your living room! Save this lovely creature from imminent destruction!

The problem with the climate regime in one article: With fewer people attending COP30 "one in every 25 participants at this year’s UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist." It is "the largest concentration of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP" and up 12% from COP29 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is the poster's way

Content Warning.

The antiabortion movement has produced an incredible amount of violence, and many members believe people who have and perform abortions should face the death penalty—a segment that appears to be growing. This seems to be another example of the violence against clinics that has increased post-Dobbs.

Indiana Senate Pro Tem Rod Bray says chamber will not reconvene in December because there aren't enough votes for congressional redistricting. Donald Trump and his allies have tried HARD to pressure Bray and other senators to fall in line.

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

By the way, Olivia Nuzzi employer Vanity Fair is owned by Condé Nast ... which recently fired four employees for union activity www.semafor.com/article/11/0...

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.

Every 20 years we find out somebody gave Clinton head like a comet coming back into our orbit.

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

Yes, ABSOLUTELY call your GOP senators and demand they vote to release ALL the Epstein files. You don’t have to lie about who you voted for and they won’t ask - just tell them to do it. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

before and after of me telling Cowboy it’s going to rain for the next six days

The problem is that the rich are not afraid of the poor

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

The problem of course is we have a political and economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior and risk taking. You can burn down the world and then shrug and walk away with billions. Seems like a problem

How's that UBI-funded leisurely, creative life enabled by AI going? “Transforming food and beverage businesses for the AI era.” = New world, worst of the old world.

Olivia Nuzzi, green and fuzzy

Put this on the mountain of externalities (but very, very carefully)
