I don't necessarily think that people who aren't journalists understand how much being unliked is a part of being a journalist. I once had a PR person call my boss to tell her I sucked

60 Minutes is one of only two documentary-style public affairs programs left on the air. The other is Frontline on PBS, which saw its funding gashed by the Trump admin and Congress. They have a matching donation rn. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

I caved and put a libby request for sunrise on the reaping - i'm 27th in line. I got curious if I were to put myself in line for heated rivalry. If I had joined the line I would have been 1000+ in line

The real difficulty in streaming Killjoys is everything you need to know about media in 2025.

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.

IDK man a lot of you are fucking cowards but don't realize it.

I'm not saying this to be snarky, but Bari doesn't actually know how a national newsdesk is run because when she was at NYT she was on opinion and the Free Press doesn't count because it was much smaller and explicitly propaganda.

One day you mother fuckers will realize I have the most Haitian last name on the planet. I know my *first* name isn't very Haitian. Blame my parents. They originally named me Justine Renee. But after like a month they saw Kendra in a baby book and were like this bitch is a Kendra.

Never thought having anxiety would be a superpower but here we are.

I know you don't know me but I'm literally Black, a child of immigrants and a journalist. I'm not exactly the *safest* person to be right now.

This isn't russia! hope that helps!

While transplant patients can research to pick and choose doctors and hospitals, they generally have no control over which generic version of critical drug tacrolimus they get from the pharmacy. That can make a difference between life and death.

“the washington post reports that cbs news fucked up!!!” ok and then what? in 6 months jeff bezos replaces the journalist who reported that with AI and buys another one of saturn’s moons.

I genuinely think part of the problem with journalism right now is not enough people in it were uhm riding the high seas in formative years.

I'm maybe just too fucked up at this point but I'd just upload the video to torrent sights.

I'm trying to say this respectfully and not as a defense of her, but if your analysis of Nicki Minaj is based just on her wealth I need you to sit this one out.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

The hospital apparently even attests that she was you know born there.

My take away from episode five is that wolf parade is white people culture.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

quick show of hands who is also suffering from heated rivalry-related psychosis

There are issues with this study that I'm too tired to get into, but when you look at the broad sweep of data around cheese... it's pretty neutral. As in cheese doesn't seem to be bad for us.

Not Latin-x like... I know Filipinos are Asian. But they're kind of latin-x adjacent? But Manny Jacinto exists.

He has always been self-serving. This is a man who allegedly refused to wash his own plate when he worked at Vox because his salary was higher than that of the sanitation employees. I need people to recognize that he's a POS.

it is almost Christmas which means it’s Muppet Christmas Carol season and that, in turn, means it is time to revisit this delightful interview with Michael Caine, who loves everything about that movie even more than you do

A member of the neo-Nazi white separatist group PNW Wolf Pack fell to his death trying to pick a mistletoe from a tree this holiday season 🎄❄

Gulf of Mexico, bay-bee

I think it's weird that he's a fellow at a libertarian think tank and we're still supposed to think he's liberal or whatever.

This smells distinctly like collider bias and/or selection bias and/or regression to the mean... You simply can't select teen prodigies, and world class athletes rom databases, and go run regressions without serious consideration of the selection process!

This is right. Trump wants to destroy the Kennedy Center precisely because it's a great center for the performing arts. And he's succeeding. People are boycotting. Halls are half full. The National Symphony, a very fine orchestra, is in financial trouble. Hundreds of other jobs are threatened, too

This dude seems like the nicest, truly

the more time I spend reading comments on popular media the more I realize that people don't understand the difference between seeing aspects of yourself in a character versus saying that because those overlaps exist that character is you.

Jake Paul finally fought someone who wasnt old or not an actual boxer and it went exactly like you'd expect.

this is how closed captioning of live events still works today! several people here have this actual job!

This thread is just so grim and sad.

My desire to be liked is outweighed by my desire to be righteous and I have a lot of complicated feeling about my religious upbringing but I'm glad St. Francis of Assisi taught me that at least.

Pinker is a eugenicist

As an at home exerciser I have indoor exercise shoes. They are sneakers that never touch the outside world. Look, I'm not here to shit on an aesthetic. Just get a pair of indoor only shoes for fucks sake.

Bill Clinton is 79 years old and in charge of jack shit.

You know in January 2020 when the US was still pretending Covid wasn't going to hit us my parents flew to Port-au-Prince where they were subject to temperature checks upon landing. I think about that a lot.

You also have to consider... respectfully that maybe Denmark is making bad choices.

Most people have memory-holed 2020-2022, but we experienced generational trauma on a global scale and at some point that kind of thing bubbles up to the collective consciousness. Then and only then will we realize the extent to which grief and loss looms over every decision we have made ever since

Banning indoor smoking in NYC is the only good thing Bloomberg did. He probably saved my life.

I bought myself a hatchet a few years back and zero regrets.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

In college I did Habitat for Humanity and a megachurch put us up and even at 21/22 I was like this has cult vibes

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

People raising that Epstein files show Trump met a 14 year old victim of Epstein’s. Actually this was known from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. But corporate media barely covered it. At least nbc news covered it years ago

The father and son whose separation at 26 Federal Plaza last month drew widespread outrage have been deported to China. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/19/f...
