This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

it's not that you have to be stupid to be an effective regime mouthpiece, but it certainly helps bari weiss that she has a wind tunnel between her ears www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

The richest man on Earth, who is also a nazi, responds to Cumlasagna1's apocalyptic forecast that being nice to women and kind will not only be the death of the "West" but also somehow result in "oceans of blood" and "continents turned to dust" with the single word "Yup". They want both futures.

Yuko Togami and Daniel Carter playing delicate chamber music for a quiet winter evening at Ibeam Brooklyn last night. A surprisingly tender set in a night of otherwise raucous improv (including by me).

Without watching any of it, lemme guess. It was akin to a very old used car dealer with a better cocaine supplier than Ric Flair insisting that the '82 Cadillac Cimmaron he's trying to slime you into buying is an absolute classic of wonderful engineering and not a rusted bucketed Chevy Cavalier.

2025 is nearly over and I have decided to snub all of the great albums that are likely to come out between now and December 31. cantstopthebleeding.com/2025-the-yea...

ruin a band with two letters Deadsy Kennedys (or depending on your point of view, ruin a band with 8 letters)

I am in the Sunday Blog Chair for the last time in 2025 today. My first post, which will doubtless prove useful to every NBA team, unpacks the three easily replicated lessons from the Spurs handing the Thunder their first loss in six weeks: defector.com/the-spurs-sh...

Obviously it's disappointing that I didn't win the inaugural FIFA Peace Award. I felt like I had a good shot at it, and that there was a case to be made. But I'm not giving up, and I will do whatever it takes to win the next one. They're definitely going to keep giving it out.
