Almost every story Weiss greenlit at the Free Press lacked sufficient context. It's kinda their entire schtick.

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.

If you're EIC and you're making fundamental changes to an already completed enterprise story that has already been vetted that means you are not properly engaged with the process. You need to either be involved earlier or hand off the task.

Beyond being politically compromised she is also a bad executive editor. An executive editor would not allow a call like this to be made so late in the game on vibes

Lol hahaha Hahahaha yeah Bari nothing adds to a story's quality like a stephen miller interview

Reading up on the initial reaction to this and there are people who seem not to understand how bad the data privacy issues are, or how if a business owner gets blackmailed by an extractive company, that harms the whole ecosystem and may even raise prices. They just see deals.

The “Honey is a scam” guy released a follow-up. Only took him a whole year—and he hits right out of the gate with the news that he is posting it despite receiving a cease & desist from PayPal. youtu.be/wwB3FmbcC88

Worth noting that this guy cofounded Tumblr’s main competitor which was designed to ease the friction in the creative process.

Who are these people going to a theater to see a third Avatar movie?

Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.

An LLM is a modern Game Genie. If your goal is to finish a game as fast as possible, a Game Genie code might help—but you also won’t gain the benefits of beating the game the “right” way. The game may also crash or do weird shit, and your NES might never work the same way again.

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Wild. This is the second time this year that this guy has been in the middle of a controversy over his online actions

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Holy crap, Kingdom of the Dump is such a killer game. Conceptually one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time.

I don’t get super-personal with a ton of my Tedium writing, but I allowed myself this time. I am glad I did. My friend dealt with some tough stuff over the last couple of years. But he was so much more than the tough stuff. tedium.co/2025/12/19/c...

You know what this space needs? A Keemstar to summarize the drama for people who don't give a shit. Oh wait, Karl linked to Mediaite. We're good

It's funny that there was so much drama around this given how great it was reviewed. www.ign.com/articles/com...

Upgraded to OxygenOS 16, and woof, they've made a bunch of changes I'm not excited about.

I have a feeling that Jason is going to convince me to also buy a riso printer when all is said and done

For anyone looking to buy a Commodore 64 Ultimate, I have a bunch of referral codes because people keep buying with my link. The referrals can't be stacked so they're not useful beyond a single code. Which means: Bug me if you want a $10 coupon.

Saw a video about how Proton is bad and realized that the full argument was about bundles and actually had nothing to do with Proton other than that the creator turned down a sponsorship from Proton.

Wasn't the whole thing that these devices were one person at a time? Oh wait, that may not be the worst thing about this photo

Hi Senator, excuse me for jumping in, but... while I agree with you that this is really damaging, I couldn't help but notice YOU VOTED FOR THE FREAKING BILL THAT GAVE TRUMP THIS POWER (which some of us warned you not to do). www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Bari Weiss thinking that she missed a big scoop because she didn't announce it on her weird town hall thing

Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No. Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality. Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

When you invest in pud, you invest in your cinematic universe.

I thought this was an interesting chart of my work life at the moment. I should note that this only covers billable tasks for regular clients, project work is measured separately and generally not tracked hourly. Honestly, this is a good thing. Finding it hard to complain rn. #freelance

Just read that Dicky Barrett is trying to get the Mighty Mighty Bosstones together. Free idea to ensure it happens: “OK, you’re right, that RFK Jr. guy sucks. By the way, I just got vaccinated so you don’t have to worry about me, here’s my card.”

vanity fair photographer christopher anderson posts this story on his instagram, suggesting he intentionally posed stephen miller underneath a painting of native americans

Larry Ellison will own a part of TikTok alongside the Chinese. Great job @schumer.senate.gov and team, you really solved the social media propaganda and privacy threat

US Dems including Biden rallying behind the TikTok ban cuz they thought xenophobia and national security hawkishness was "good politics" was arguably the most embarrassing unforced error of any Democratic administration in recent history.

Trump-Kennedy sounds like the law firm that's gonna say “no further questions” during cross examination before asking any questions

Respect to the marketers who figured out that giving station wagons off-road trimmings would create the massive success story of the Subaru Outback.

Ding ding ding. If your goal is to foment change in tech, attack surgically. You’ll get better results.

In 2014 during the net neutrality wars, Obama voiced his support for net neutrality. Republicans REPEATEDLY, for YEARS, (falsely) claimed this was an illegal, unethical affront to FCC independence. 11 years later they now insist the FCC has no independence and serves at the whims of our mad king:
