As a copywriter who does a lot of long form writing for clients' websites it's so depressing knowing that I'm mostly writing to give AI bots something to summarize instead of people actually clicking on the site and reading the article.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here. The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

This is again a reminder that college isn’t supposed to just teach you a job but is supposed to teach you how to think, because that job you’re training for might not exist when you graduate

Wow. Stuart was upset his 18-year-old relative was facing years in prison for sex with a 13-year-old and now the 18 yo is just getting house arrest and community service (no sex offender registry) thanks to a law the legislature "just happened" to pass on his watch. share.google/2wyEC005XXtF...

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

I am so stressed out over waiting for my 4-month-old niece to be old enough to finish all her vaccinations so she doesn't catch anything from all the dummies in Utah who don't vaccinate.

Hey fellow male high school teachers: let’s really go out of our way to model positive behavior for our male students this year, and also correct them quickly when they say demeaning things about their female peers and teachers. This has been my contribution to the manosphere discourse.

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

Extremely cool opportunity: The Seattle Times is hiring a DC correspondent. Rare these days for a local paper. seattletimes.applytojob.com/apply/oVo010...

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator very grim

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

“I debated Mehdi Hasan and got fired for it” is going to turn into a viable grift for several of these fascist douchebags. This is why you don’t platform fascists.

what the fuck is this shit

Constitutional crisis is here

Donald Trump, who I do not support, had no more of a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, who I do not support, than he does with Vladimir Putin, who I also do not support. by Glenn Greenwald

Getting rid of PBS is also meant to clear the field for Prager U to be the place for children programming.

The skills and priorities that make for a good journalist and a good business-runner are very different and I think a lot of outlets have been hurt by a business-first mindset running the newsroom or a journalism-first mindset running the business.

I hope the FCC blocks the Paramount merger anyway because maybe at some point people will learn that when you bow down to a fascist once it's never enough.

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.

New books in a series need the literary equivalent of when a TV show that's been off the air for two years starts the new season with "Previously on..."

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled. Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

Stop what you're doing and read this extraordinary essay by Rümeysa Öztürk: "I am free, but my true freedom is interlinked with the freedom of many women I lived alongside in ICE prison."

Make it totally fine and not stigmatized at all to end a sentence with a preposition.

Every time someone uses the words "toxic empathy" we need to push back by telling them that toxic empathy is something grifters who make their money peddling hate made up to sell more hate.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is. Like just when I worry things can’t get stupider, life finds a way.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

My “these emails are too intimate and embarrassing to release” tshirt has people asking questions already answered by my shirt

Well this seems like a pretty huge fucking admission of racial profiling that will be ignored by the mainstream media

This is correct and it's why public opinion doesn't actually do anything on its own. It has to be mobilized. You have to DO politics.

Also talked about The Onion being inefficient on purpose. www.status.news/p/the-onion-...

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

the stories that come out of the ICE camps are going to look like the stories that come out of every camp system; rampant corruption, epidemic disease, physical and sexual abuse on a vast scale, a death rate far higher than normal, and medical abuses.

On a call: Coworker: (9-year-old son's name) are you hammering? (Indistinguishable reply) Coworker: Nooooo!!! (Sprints out of the room)

John Curtis every time he votes on anything...

I just wish more politicians in this country were able to have big dreams about the future and what is possible. And I wish the electorate had the patience and understanding that big things take time to happen.

Hegseth's performance of sanctimonious personal attacks on journalists is so telling. Jennifer Griffin (his own former Fox News colleague) is a respected national security reporter

I give this advice to leaders in all contexts but it’s particularly relevant for politicians: If you try to take a position that upsets *no one*, you’ll end up with no position at all. Whatever you say or do will have haters - and probably loud ones - so might as well just say what you believe.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Worst things about living in Utah: 1) The terrible air quality 2) Having Mike Lee as a Senator 3) The legislature

Another Friday putting other verified accounts to shame by including alt text on all of our images.

At Disneyland, Hayden Christensen was getting on the Grizzly Rapids boat as my family was getting off.

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

ICE agents saw a brown man speak up at Kristi Noem's conference and went to work. Didn't matter that it was Senator Padilla. Anyone who thinks their wealth, power and privilege will protect them, just see this video.
