as foretold by the prophesy

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today

good morning let's get this bread

My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:

What is striking here, of course, is that no one was apologizing for being white at any point, outside of some very unusual academic hothouse environments. What the experience as 'apologizing for being white' is actually just 'accommodating non-white people living as full citizens and equals.'

The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision. "The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Happy birthday Jane Fonda 🎂 📷 Sam Lévin, 1970 "What in the world is the matter with Jane Fonda? She’s a great actress. She looks pretty. But boy, she’s … often on the wrong track." - Richard M. Nixon, on tape, September 19, 1971

Think of your biggest financial risk: it's not your stock portfolio, it's losing your paycheck. That's why unemployment is the single best measure of economic health—when people can't earn a living, everything else in the data is just background noise. And unemployment is rising.

The "overnight rule": Anyone who says "you can't switch fossil fuels off overnight!!!!!" is meaningfully arguing to extend their use, and making up a guy to argue against to meet those ends Some examples Maple-syrup flavoured overnight rule bsky.app/profile/keta...

i now feel really fucking bad about buying their book what in the actual fuck is wrong with them. The whole purpose of several Ghibli stories, Princess Mononoke especially, is humanizing the monstrous, TO THE POINT THAT THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A HUMAN RAISED BY MONSTERS. What is wrong with these guys

How many times have I been told to give this racist game and its racist creators grace, and second chances? and empathy, and good faith, and and and? Nah. This isn’t just a fundamental misunderstanding of Ghibli. It is colonialist fucking desecration. @obojima.bsky.social Go fuck yourselves.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

i know when i didnt do anything wrong i release heavily redacted files that prove i didn't do anything wrong

"Mr Reidy said not much space is needed to bank all Irish seeds. To illustrate this, he takes out a matchbox which he said holds a single seed of all 900 native species to Ireland."

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more." This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

When I say in many ways, Big Tech is building for the Global South and I don't mean this in a positive way, this is what I mean. As far back as 2013, Facebook began offering Facebook Basics to internet users in developing countries where access to the internet is expensive for free.

This was his doing

The key problem is well known (sorry, paywall): "The entire water crisis in the American West comes down to cows eating alfalfa in a landscape where neither belongs. The Colorado delta could be reborn with the water that today goes to produce a third of 1% of the nation’s cattle production".

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.

Tis the season

"We don't want to be Luddites --" brother, Luddites were opposed to bosses concentrating wealth by using technology to make inferior product with warehouses fulls of starving exploited child labor. You don't have to wear the team jersey but respect the game.

All you really need to understand about water usage in the western United States is that every single use - even the ones that sound egregiously wasteful like AI data centers - rounds down to 0 compared to what irrigated agriculture uses

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor. This is grotesque fear-mongering.

Schiff voted to confirm yet another Trump nominee yesterday.

people keep saying the reason they're focusing on trans kids is because they want to make it harder for trans people to blend into society, but I don't think that's true? I think it's just: - kids are an easier target - they already see children as property and not people
