I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be taking on a more substantive role at Al Jazeera covering economics.  For years, on a freelance basis I’ve brought the news org hard-hitting original reporting.

Earlier today, Elon Musk deleted a tweet in which he wrote that it is “improper for lawmakers to target a single person or company.” I wonder why!!

Yes, that is the goal. As for the Nazi thing, you literally did a sieg heil twice on national television.

I finally went ahead and deactivated my Twitter account. It’s very liberating.

Miller is a lunatic.

this makes them seem abysmally stupid to many, but it’s actually deeply cynical & effective propaganda—they don’t care it's wrong, because while we correct & mock it, it scored its point last night & gets repeated in false controversy like they’re-eating-the-cats&dogs & achieves the intended harm
