Many people are saying

This is a big part of why i continue to believe that not only is regime consolidation off the table but it was never particularly on the table in any real way in the first place. Theyre a bunch of fucking idiots who have all cooked their brains online & think that being an overt bully is how you win

What really depresses me about the news industry is how many people in positions of power seem to hold the core values of journalism in contempt.

Live look of all the Harper’s letter signatories:

“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.”

Gotta say it’s pretty remarkable that Bari Weiss is unfamiliar with the Streisand effect. This is about to be the most viewed 60 minutes episode in a long time. (also lol the irony of The Free Press trying to kill a story because it makes the regime look bad)

It’s the “no, dig up stupid” of attempting to be Leni Riefenstahl and its crassness and lack of purpose bother me more than how brazen it is

This should likely go in my little Bari at CBS thread but I just don’t know what she thinks pulling a story two hours before air is going to do for her cause. The people who watch 60 Minutes for the journalism are the kinds of people who care about this shit, and the people who would cheer it don’t!

And there it is...

Andrew Tate looked cream crackered by round 4 of whatever that was. We should just make a new boxing division called "Media Personalities who could do with a slap"

May the light be invincible.

The Trump admin 100% deserve the shit kicking thats coming their way next year

I promise you with absolute 100% certainty that we are not going to lose the House because Dan Goldman gets primaried from the left

LOL "Bari killed this meticulous story because it was unfavorable to the Trump administration" is literally the story they're giving to their stenographer

This is the actual divide, more broadly. It's not liberal/leftist, it's "do you know what time it is and are you willing to act like it?" People want fighters. And there are variations on that theme across the left spectrum.

An administration that just straight up hates the country

Generations of whining about media bias really paid off for the American right badfaithtimes.com/the-media-bi...

nothing i can say about these people is crueler than their behavior toward each other

The Ghost Story, Alfred Bestall, 1930 #Christmasghoststories

our online lives have really warped the way we act in public, especially post-COVID

the vice president is a klansman

Republicans control literally every lever of federal power right now.

yeah I think influencer culture *inherently* is just poisonous, even more so than the regular cult of celebrity was because it's so purely self-centered and pervasive.

Over the past eight weeks, the dismissal rate of the Trump DOJ's criminal complaints in D.C. has risen to 21% — compared to 0.5% over the past decade. Some errors came after senior officials made public statements that strayed from the allegations in sworn court filings, violating department rules.

“What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.” www.sltrib.com/opinion/comm...

This guy is gonna lose like Mondale.

corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures, etc

Andrew Tate and Jake Paul both getting their shit kicked in within days of each other is just too fucking delicious

Hahahahaha Anthony Joshua did a highlight reel of beating Jake Pauls ass into the ground www.instagram.com/reel/DSgMt6H...

it’s sort of incredible to me that vance has apparently decided, of his own free will, that it’s his job to be even more viscerally unpleasant and personally charmless than spiro agnew, and that he seems to sincerely believe this will one day make him president

when someone seems to suddenly and inexplicably jump on the maga train, you will almost never be wrong in assuming it’s about money

this increasingly seems like the thousand-dollar bill that's just lying on the sidewalk

Not only this, but for teaching purposes, you have to *already know the thing* to properly verify LLM outputs. It takes expertise and discernment, which means students by definition cannot do it. This is my problem with “teach them AI skills” position—there are no AI skills without actual skills

What??

Rep. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie tell CBS they're considering bringing inherent contempt charges against Pam Bondi for failing to release all of the Epstein files.

Look at this graph. Vacant office buildings in NYC are being converted to housing at an unprecedented pace. Nearly all projects include affordable units. This didn't happen by accident. It's the result of policy change (City of Yes, State tax incentives etc). Let's keep this going.

The homes of more than 10,000 New Yorkers are now at stake. One of NYC's most notorious landlords, Pinnacle Group, has sent 93 buildings -- 5,000 rent-stabilized apartments -- to a bankruptcy auction actionnetwork.org/petitions/10...

The Department of Justice and its officials keep getting slammed with community notes every time they post about the Epstein files

Remains absolutely wild to me we have a functional cure for HIV/AIDS.

me, a neoliberal kale chip eating gentrifier in Manhattan: “I enjoy taking the subway, which is safer than ever!” Samuelsen, a Heritage New Yorker who hates neolibs (but still endorses republicans): “the subway is so dangerous!”

As I’ve said before, politics in New York City don’t fall along traditional partisan lines, they fall along the divide of inner boroughs and outer boroughs and the outer boroughs think they’re the only real New Yorkers. They all also have clearly melted their brains on the Internet.

Funny that Platner is running as an anti-establishment outsider candidate when every single email or text I've seen from his campaign is indistinguishable from every other dime a dozen Dem fundraising email that ppl claim to hate, right down to the "is there anything I can do to convince you" line

Lol you cannot bro

Calling out Lakshya Jains bullshit matters bc left unaddressed its another David Shor type hack haunting Democratic Party politics for the next however many years
