welp

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

A reminder: Bari Weiss signed the Harper's Letter.

Republicans control literally every lever of federal power right now.

"The storied Meese center" says all that needs be said about a constitutional center.

You grossly overestimate what they have learned in church. It wasn't that. They learned that they are super special and under attack by demonic outsiders and it is ok for them to do whatever they want to their enemies.

Amazing how the Founders had all the same beliefs and prejudices as modern Catholic integralists and Schmitt acolytes despite not being Catholic, integralist, or fascist.

What a cursed text.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

It's winter, and I see lots of you folks posting pictures of chili you've made. And that's great. But you can do better. And so I, a native Texan, am here to teach you how to make better chili. I am going to discuss two recipes, one that is... extra, and one that you can whip up in a few hours.

I'm a *hermetic* American, wielding the powers of the cosmos to ensure that it is my will that is done, as above, so below.

The increase in homelessness is because Americans think homelessness is due to bad choices and don’t give a fuck about them. Americans don’t care about homelessness; they care they have to see it.

Usha, call me. We can win this divorce.

minaj is on the verge of having her $20M home forcibly sold by the court to cover a $500K debt, in case you wonder what’s going on here

Austin Upstairs Chud College was never going to be a success and was never going to attract any real scholars, even conservative ones, because it was built specifically on grievance and the notion that conservative scholars were being excluded.

Just the world's richest man using the social media platform he purchased to call for genocide in Europe.

Help I can’t like this twice

Those of us who are not Jewish have to be more on our guard against antisemitism than ever right now, not just in the world but inside of our own hearts No one is fully immune to the propaganda flooding social media from all directions or the rising hysteria of this moment

Lounging in my motel room and watching Candace Owens' latest video response to Ben Shapiro, which she posted yesterday In this video, she tells her audience that the Talmud says gentiles are basically animals And suddenly, today's audience question about this alleged Talmudic position makes sense

I feel like we should end the internet now, this feels like the logical endpoint.

@greatdismal.bsky.social talks about "the jackpot" in some of his novels not a single breakdown, but a mess of small things adding up, of unintended consequences. Reading this made me shiver, and feel that this is a harbinger of exactly that pattern.

Hinduism-as-single-religion was a decision made for political reasons within living memory, which is something that complicates things even further when you try to fit it in a box built by white culture it was never meant to fit in.

kinda starting to worry that an American Papacy has had unexpected ramifications for sports outcomes I care about

@notdred.bsky.social we got more!!!

@legalminimum.bsky.social @kathryntewson.bsky.social @commanda4.bsky.social THE FUCKIN' WHAT NOW

I have an explanation.

Like, congrats. Rep. Lee has in fact proposed a protection racket for the illegal war crimes he and his fellow congresspeople refuse to exercise their right and duty to stop. This deadend performative bill may be the purest distillation of Trumpism possible.

Here's what I don't get....the opposition to Trump worked last time. He got killed in the midterms and wasn't reelected.

Screaming, crying, throwing up as I realize that the very youngest person who voted in a Presidential election where Trump wasn't a candidate is now 31 years old.

He is absolutely going to try and get his face in Mt Rushmore. Just watch.

The fascist’s three appeals: 1. Think of your children. 2. Only I can keep you safe from crime. 3. It’s the fault of those immigrants but I can save you. These bypass filters on the human brain somehow.

in 1998 a slashdot user said “‘think of the children’ is the root password to the constitution” about COPPA and it has remained forever true

OOH OOH I HAVE AN EASY ANSWER IMPEACH HIS ASS

Bannon’s speech lost some nuance when it was translated from German

I keep saying: This country/dominant culture hates children. Absolutely hates them. Regards them as property far more than (vulnerable, in need of guidance and conscientious, respectful protection) full human beings

So... any kind of plausible deniability that somebody might have really had an innocent or unaware relationship with this guy rather falls apart when you see the full scale of how it was literally all he ever did and talked about, every waking moment of his life and to everyone he knew.

Thank you Adam Ellis

As long as rfk has a pulse, he will kill children, and go out of his way to specifically kill sick children.

Any Democratic politician should be in front of a camera right now, calling for the full, unredacted release, shouting "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" like a common Bushite Republican in 2004. And never let up.

and of course Fox News has to throw out a "buh buh buh but Clinton" in their documents, with no mention of whether Trump appears in them (and you know he does, or at least should)
