NYTimes really trying to help out Musk's IPO. Never be negative seems to be the rule.

Republican messaging won out over the years and was solidified with Covid. What was it? Freedom = You can't tell me what to do and I get to do whatever I want. Explains the pro-pedophilia, racism, rape party. I can do whatever I want, to whomever I want, including my children.

Those early political bloggers never absorbed lessons about journalistic ethics. And we're paying for it today. Like most everything tech, it was just an end run around around rules, regulations, and norms. That's what they (tech overlords) wanted, and now it's really bearing fruit.

They treat Trump’s abject stupidity as if it’s a type of speech disorder one shouldn’t make fun of, and treated Biden’s stutter as if it was abject stupidity.

I bet I use more water than a hamburger too.

Trump to settle with himself for millions of dollars of our money because he claims he was hurt by his tax returns being released despite him stating he really wanted his taxes released but couldn’t because he was being audited. If only the DOJ had some proof, some evidence they could fight this…

Another day, another 'muscular' headline at the NYTimes. Thought it was about Trump, but no, Putin. Same diff. One day, we'll know who wrote the worst of the NYTimes headlines.

Vote the MAGAfuckers out.

I thought kids weren't talking face to face anymore because of mobile phones. As always, what kids are doing and what adults want them to do are 2 different things.

No. I don't want to hear your chainsaw and lawn mower or leaf blower in your video.

Podcast Jay Bhattacharya is a zealot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZHS...

Plus his dedication to their 2025 plan to put religious nuts in charge and take away the rights of anyone who isn't a straight white male

And another "oh look at the amazing rural folks!" WTF is wrong with Anemona Hartocollis? She's so gullible

Hey @nytimes.com Your readership isn't in a bubble, your leadership and editorial staff is. You think you know what liberals think b/c you self-identify as liberal-ish. Look inward.

I saw Nutella trending, and thought it died.

Guy in a mostly liberal social milieu who fancies himself a heterodox thinker gravitates toward right-wing sources/platforms to demonstrate his independence from doctrinaire liberalism, but wants to pretend that they aren't actually right-wing. Many such cases.

Jeremy Peters seems to have always been an ass. NYT seems to prefer them that way.

So Abundance is just supply-side economics, right?

Just a reminder: Iran didn't say it wants to negotiate with Vance. Unnamed Pakistan source says unnamed Iran source wants to negotiate with Vance. Looks like someone wants to make something happen behind the scenes. Pakistan/Vance/Thiel?

Scott Galloway gives me the ick. I can't listen to the Swisher/Galloway Pivot podcast anymore.

The fact of the matter is,... this administration is a daily reality TV game show episode that is being run by a former reality TV game show host, and is being aired exclusively on Fox News for America's dumbest demographic.

I'm starting to think Trump never watched The West Wing.

I think the premise is correct: Caddyshack informed our politics (SNL/National Lampoon too). Funny how nowhere in this slobs vs snobs discussion does sexism come up (just defending institutions). BUT the tags to this Politico story by Brooks reveal so much. Subtext revealed in the hypertext.

What? Bloomberg are you okay? 1. HED vs DEK 2. URL vs headline

Peter Thiel’s legion of bitch boys are all as delusional and unhinged as he is. Altman, Vance, Karp. All deranged losers.

I need RFKJr to keep the phrase "teenage girls" out of his mouth. RFKJr and his fellow pervs are way too "concerned" about teen girls' bodies.

Goldfish brains obsessing over the Trump admin's mixed messaging! This was how he campaigned for both of his terms. He just says everything and people will choose from the Cheesecake Factory menu of justifications he provides with them with. Republicans in general, and MAGA in particular, do not...

We're here b/c a bunch of dudes grew up thinking the worst thing is to be called a 'loser.' Trump, Rogan, Vance, Musk, & a whole host of dudes w/ disappointing (& disappointed) dads. It's why they hate the concept of participation trophies & believe that if you're not cheating you're not trying.

People waiting to pick up their kids from school in idling cars as if gas is free or something.

JD Vance is essentially a wholly owned subsidiary of Peter Thiel. Thiel funded his career, bought his Senate seat, and pushed him onto the ticket. Having Vance in the White House is exactly the same as putting Peter Thiel in power

Update: ethics : gaming journalism :: discrimination : college admissions for Asian-Americans :: fairness : girls'/women’s sports :: meritocracy : govt jobs :: historical accuracy : movie casting :: egg prices/deficit :: economy Couldnt decide btwn eggs & deficit. Its the K-shaped economy stupid?

Vance needs to be tied to these debacles now. He can't be allowed any distance from these Trump administration disasters.

So many middle aged dudes jacked up on testosterone & gray market peptides nowadays. Also reminds me of the caning of Senator Sumner

on social media by bashing soc media where libs do have a voice, like Bsky, to try to make it unappealing to new ppl who might otherwise come over here & try it Chatterton, Noah Smith & Singal are all professional Right Wing trolls in media and/or social media. RW trolls constantly amplify ea other

Operation Epstein Fury

Human workers aren't given the leeway that tech doing the same job is. Humans are expected to produce better quality than many tech products. Less is expected of AI.

For the 'fairness in sports' crowd. I propose we also test all student athletes (6th grade and up, school and traveling teams) for growth hormones use (HGH) and also prohibit redshirting for boys. Age is age. It's all about fairness.

I gotta admit, listening to The Bulwark, one good thing about never-Trumpers/center-right is that unlike (most) liberals/progressives (and moderates), they've never really felt constrained about going 'low' or being a bit rude in their criticisms. So, they're practiced in good jabs against MAGA.

"that's life" - elites and legacy media when people are subjected to mass layoffs, data theft, social murder, etc "no matter what evils rich, connected people do, they are entitled to a lifetime of comfort, luxury, and employment" -elites and legacy media when their pals are criminals

Joe Kernan is an asshole. And Ted Cruz.

The hig- pressure sales tactics of AI companies is so we don't think about it first. They need and want the money now. We all need to walk around the block first and not buy into the false urgency.

I've spent an hour-plus (maybe 2!) using AI for editing work (again). It would've been faster to do it myself. Esp. since it'll do something right, I'll tell it what is wrong, & then AI makes those corrections but then makes what was right wrong. So, have to correct those new wrongs. Rinse repeat.

Starting to think The Chronicle of Higher Education has a definite bias.

Why is Patrick Healy (NYT) such an asshole?

I'm now gettin way too much center-right content on YouTube 'disguised' as liberal(-ish): Kara Swisher, The Bulwark podcast, Scott Galloway, and now Sam Harris. The overlap is concerning.

Since my fam isn't on Bsky I can say this: Boarderie dessert board is disgusting. I received as a gift, truly appreciate the sentiment, but the chocolates, macarons, & brownies are awful. You're better off grabbing a box of Entenmann's & some Godiva then tying them to a cutting board with ribbon.

For clarity on Scots-Irish/Scottish-Irish in America: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch-... Mostly they are: Ulster, Ireland Protestants.
