Bari Weiss ran a massive push to support Spencer Platt and his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, which was closely coordinated with Rupert Murdoch's media outlets in addition to CBS. Neither ever reported a word about Platt's extensive criminal record.

This man stands for nothing.

Scott Pelley is a hero for blowing the whistle on Bari Weiss's disgusting lies. But his contention that Minneapolis anti-ICE demonstrators were responsible for up "half" the confrontations in that city was itself a capitulation to the administration's narrative: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

In case you're wondering who the increasingly tabloidish NYT is rooting for.

The German AfD is meeting Kremlin associates and pushing to reopen Nord Stream. This is what is often missed about the backlash against net zero: It is about who controls Europe's energy and vested interest groups want to drive us back towards dependency on Russian gas.

Nobody wore the Shatner Collection better than Shatner. Then again, nobody else wore it.

If not The Onion, why Onion shaped?

This is so outrageous. Roberts Court said in Callais finding of intentional discrimination could invalidate gerrymandered maps. Lower court found Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters. SCOTUS still allowed map eliminating majority Black district to go through

Anyone blithely comparing Paxton and Platner has done no research on the life of either man or the accusations they face. These men have lived wildly different lives, engaged in very different behavior, and face dramatically different allegations. This flattening of the facts gets clicks—that's all.

In a simulated society run by AI models, Anthropic’s Claude created a peaceful democracy with zero crime and Google’s Gemini achieved full survival despite some crime. Elon Musk’s Grok performed worst, causing total societal collapse and ending the simulation after just four days.

According to Will Stancil and many of his fans, Gen Zers who complain about being excluded from the economy are just doomers and whiners, because, according to a selectively chosen set of graphs, the economy is doing great.

A who's who of the global far right gathered in Portugal this weekend for a summit on ethnic cleansing. Speakers included Greg Bovino, who proudly posted a photo of himself performing a Hitler salute on X, and the chairman of New York's Young Republicans. The media, however, was a no show.

Once upon a time, these people believed the Epstein files would reveal a cabal of Satan-worshipping liberal elites who drank the blood of aborted fetuses. They were every bit as vocal about releasing the files then as they are about putting the lid back on them now.

Imagine if Obama etc.

Loyalty is a one way street in Trumpland.

"The enduring curiosity is why so many self-professed progressives remain wedded to a platform with an algorithm that results in misrepresentation and suppression, drowning out their creativity in an open sewer of disinformation, scams, bots and falsehoods."

This tweet is from 2021. Today you'd have to earn about $30,000 a day for 82,026 years to equal him. This meme is off by a factor of 3. That's how much richer he's gotten in the last 5 years.

Gasp!

Project 2025 promised a right-wing revolution in American government. Democrats’ Project 2029 promises to ... take on the “annoyance economy” and cut down on surprise fees and impossible cancellations. From me: www.ms.now/opinion/proj...

Every time a federal judge rules in favor of yet another Trump overreach, I look up the judge, and 90% of the time it happens to be someone appointed by Trump. That’s the case here as well.

The Reagan Revolution did a number on America that we still haven't recovered from. Name almost any bullshit in our politics and culture and most of it traces back to Reagan. Democrats jumping on the neoliberal bandwagon didn't help, but Reagan sent the country spiraling for 45 years.
