socialism is when your former landlord raises the rent after you move out

Usually I can’t wait for a sequel but…

Insane NY Post column suggesting that the new First Lady who is sad about leaving her longtime neighbors in a not fancy NYC neighborhood is an ungrateful brown woman

Sinatra has gone woke

This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

Elite free speech discourse has culminated in state action to compel labor

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

So an ICE supervisor had previous domestic abuse convictions, yet still was a law enforcement officer? Yet at the state level, a clean background check is mandatory for employment. Trump emptied the jails straight into employment as his private army.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate

Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

All else aside who the fuck wants a marble armrest? (Other than Lincoln, who sits not far from the Kennedy Center.)

Well... yeah.

20 years ago this shit was funny. Now it's 50:50 whether the kid didn't study OR wants a weekend hosting gig on Fox News.

Having a normal Christmas morning

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

Absolutely right. AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there. Let me illustrate …

turns out the PR equivalent of slamming one’s dick in a door works about as well as expected

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

The FBI was supposed to deliver all the Epstein files to @AGPamBondi's desk by 8 AM on Feb. 28, 2025. That's almost ten months ago. This seems like something @JusticeOIG would need to dig into www.justice.gov/ag/media/139...

A few months ago Pam Bondi was saying there was nothing to release

Hey, Bari. You know the fascists will come for the Jews and homosexuals next, right? Like you're not THAT stupid, are you? Ask your doctor if fascism is right for you.

Pulling a story that's critical of the government isn't how you win back trust you rotten bitch. It's fucking insane that someone this bad at their job and this corrupt gets to write emails this stupid that are ALSO this fucking pretentious.

Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files. In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.

WHO GIVES A DAMN? It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts. Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

Example # 2,303,301 of a clip I'd like to show Republican friends and ask them "You do know this administration says things like this because they think you're too stupid to know that's not how it works, right? You do know it's an insult, right?"

it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

and the reason isn’t the quality of his prose or the sharpness of his mind, the obvious reason IS that he is a loudly and publicly “anti-woke” black person (sorry, “ex-black man”) who fully aligns entirely key gatekeepers in the literary and journalism worlds.

how did this guy run an investment bank?

He’s lying

It's especially funny since right now Kat is doing just that. Incredibly stupid and cartoonishly corrupt.

In the grand tradition of American journalism, both sides must always be expressed. On the one side, there might be the moral courage of CECOT survivors who told us their story. On the other side, there might might be my service to oligarchical fascism in killing their story. by Bari Weiss

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

Reminder that Bari Weiss held the 60 Minutes piece on migrant gulags with the suggestion that Stephen Miller (whose number she has) should comment. Maybe if 60 Minutes could just post this video alongside the story, it would meet Weiss's vaunted editorial standards.

Kavanaugh goes out of his way to pen a footnote not having to deal with the case at hand. He appears to be trying to narrow the forces he unleashed with his prior opinion allowing for race- and ethnicity-based #KavanaughStops

Kavanaugh tries to put the "Kavanaugh Stops" genie back in the bottle

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

The censored 60 Minutes' segment, Inside CECOT, is now available. Download from @ddosecrets.com: data.ddosecrets.com/Inside%20CEC... Download/stream from @archive.org: archive.org/details/insi... The original video was recorded by @jasonparis.bsky.social, and cleaned up by @emma.best

bOtH sIdEs, am I right?

one day i’ll write about the journey from this photo to present day.

it's odd to see the people who can accurately assess Bari Weiss isn't a good journalist and failed upward into her role as chief brunchlord, but can't take the additional leap to realize this is part of an active plot by extraction class media ownership to actively destroy journalism and consensus

In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions. There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues. Not even a “no comment.” www.thefp.com/p/yesterday-...

Allegations of a double standard here miss the point: Weiss has followed a simple journalistic principle - comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted.
