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

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

“60 Minutes” correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says she requested comment from DHS, State and the WH. They declined, then complained and Bari Weiss spiked the story. Alfonsi says it gave the Trump administration a “kill switch”.

That’s odd. As a white male who has lived in the United States for all of my nearly 60 years, I’ve never once felt pressured—nor been asked—to apologize for being white. Equal treatment of others isn’t about apology or guilt. It’s about basic human decency, plain and simple.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

It is the type of study that would not pass Institutional Review Board at most institutions. Children are special subjects with heightened review standards, this is unethical & should not be allowed.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.

They admit things like this in public because they are certain they will never face consequences

This. We’ve left the sane world behind. Are we going to rebuild structures and processes to reimpose discipline on the discussion of intelligence? Or on [fill in your favorite policy area]?

Trump didn’t just meet the 14-year-old child Epstein was abusing--he put her in his beauty pageant. The dump of Epstein documents has raised questions about Epstein introducing Trump to a 14 year old victim in 1994. But Trump did worse than remain silent deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-didn...

Ro Khanna says two of the most critical documents Epstein survivors demanded were not released today, a 60-count indictment drafted before Epstein’s sweetheart deal and an 82-page memo backing it up Both are missing Transparency law violated.Survivors ignored.Accountability still nowhere in sight

Software already sucks now. AI assisted coding is rushing straight into production with no human testing.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that bribe for hire Pam Bondi took an illegal $25K bribe from the orange felon when she was Florida’s AG to help him cover up the crimes he committed with his fraudulent fake university. She’s always been a crook.

The gaps in the Epstein files release is going to make the 18.5 minute gap in the Nixon tapes look like child’s play.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

This is the show we needed right now!

happy heated rivalry day to those that celebrate

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.

As a person who grew up in the Evangelical community watching these clowns, this is hilarious. It’s ridiculous that Americans don’t see right through this 💩.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Brooks should be driven out of public life. The fact that he knew there were photographs of himself with Epstein and he didn't disclose that while also telling people that they should move on is just straight up unethical.

I have deduced that one of the records I bought to mark the end of the term has chamber orchestra music by Ukrainian composer Ihor Shamo (1925-1982), there is very little English on the LP so I didn't know I've never heard his work before now and I'm really digging it!

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

#TerrierTuesday furiends! It's a bit chilly today, so I am snuggled at home. I'd very much like a cuddle if one can be spared? 🥰🐾 #BTPosse

Excuse me, WUT! You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

This happens all the time with these MAGAs. They just get so drunk off the attention they recieve from the media and let their guard down and then oops you accidentally spent several months speaking on the record to a reporter who doesn't work for Fox and might actually publish unflattering quotes.

I'm having trouble finding the "America Mourns Rob and Michelle Reiner" piece from the NY Times Editorial Board.

1/ Microsoft Copilot (mostly) fabricated a quantitative study for me based on a one-sentence prompt. The prompt? "Generate an academic article which shows that right handed university presidents are more effective fundraisers."

Just pointing out that the same people who pushed for "return to office" for the "culture and collaboration" are now promoting AI tools that increasingly isolate employees. No more work besties in our AI future, no matter where we are located.

"Y'all are punks. Y'all are cowards. Harvard, Columbia... "y'all are sitting on $40 billion??? And you can't oppose this man? Either you're cowards or you are with him and if you are with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with."

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t. What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty. [street art from around the country]

BREAKING: Donald Trump goes on a deranged rant claiming countries want him to serve as the leader of Europe. This level of delusion is not normal.

ICE tried to kidnap one man from a local grocery store in St. Paul, MN, but community members used their humanity & their bodies as a human shield to successfully fend them off. ✌🏻

Garcia: "Just last night we received about 95,000 photographs from the Epstein estate. We've gone through maybe about 25,000 of them so far ... we will continue to put out more photos in the days and weeks ahead."

Happy 100th birthday Dick van Dyke!

It's been over three weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
