Stelter is a media analyst and if “it is a challenge for a media company to decide whether or not to fire a talking head because the president is mad” is what passes as media analysis then the press is just playing dress up. Humiliating for Stelter and an existential crisis for the rest of us.

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

Crashes like these are a policy choice, @massdcr.bsky.social

Where was Tom Morello to tell Bruce this is loser shit?

Is there a good reason I should learn who Hasan Piker is?

Remember when new things promised a better future?

Forget iPhones & spyphones, this was peak tech.

So glad that I don't give any more money to the paper that pays Hanania for opinions and sends several "journalists" to this farce

for all your 1000 year old drone music on a bleak saturday that somehow feels like a tuesday afternoon needs

u never see this on a tradlife mood board

might just repost all my alvin lucier memes

it's a treat watching people invisible to at least 4/5 of americans fret over how a rubber chicken dinner no one gives a fuck about will be interpreted when any of them could become one of the most trusted voices in the country by interrupting a lying presidential rebuke by telling him to suck eggs

Always two dumb bitches saying exactly

i also do not want to hear about data collection. 100% of human beings need bathrooms. there is your data. stop trying to be so fucking efficient and make sure there's a public bathroom open a short walk from every point in the city

benches, buses, and bathrooms. they should be everywhere

If you show up to this, you deserve the humiliation

Anyone who attends this as a guest is a hack

The most thorough history of public benches I’ve ever read! placesjournal.org/article/the-...

We need the editors to take control of the writers room a bit, getting way too on the nose, nobody’s gonna believe this stuff.

I would embrace a tradhusband movement if the "trad" meant "has a steady job, can afford a home, and hangs out with his friends and their families instead of sitting on the basement gambling on crypto and asking a computer how to talk to his wife"

Through headline and article, not a mention of any human beings.

25 years ago today, Les Savy Fav played a show I booked in my living room at college, one of the greatest nights of my life.

Good article, good to have reporting on how voucher programs funnel public resources into private hands, but it’s serious journalistic malpractice to keep using right wing buzzwords like “school choice” and “free market” as neutral terms in articles like this.

First Dem candidate to come into the race and say “I think Democratic voters are good people, I like them, and I’m going to campaign on their behalf” is going to fucking clean up, super weird that none of them have thought of this.

A subcategory error here is also the conflation of “real estate magnate” with “deep interest in construction” or his own self-categorization as “a builder.” It’s the same thing that annoys me about the team owner getting presented the Super Bowl trophy instead of the players.

All the right got is rape and the Supreme Court

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

less of a butlerian jihad and more of a butlerian discussion about land use and zoning for datacenters

Seeing thousands of people yell at The New Yorker and Hanif Abdurraqib over an article they didn’t read about the numbing effects of frictionless technology has really underlined how much this website contributes to that numbing. Might be time to bail for my own mental health, at least temporarily.

Also, worth noting, the article is about the value of taking time and being present, and the reward the author gets for this thoughtful piece is thousands of people stopping for 1-minute mid-doomscroll to tell everyone how much they’re above the seduction of technology.

The outraged commenting and quote-posting of this article is amazing. It’s so obvious nobody read it. On the NYer’s end, noting in the post that it’s by Hanif Abdurraqib would have made it clear this is a beautiful longform meditation on life and not a piece of tech clickbait.

The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing

Need to see this from the 2026 midterm candidates too, tbqh

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

your move, @unlikelywords.bsky.social

The only 3 music genres in 2026 are psyop, vhs mail fraud, and surrealist teletubby mathrock.
