Bryant Rousseau, named in this story as the NYT editor whose work history matches the anonymous coward in the complaint, is selling AI-generated art and music on his website. The copyright watermarks on work he didn’t do — with fake NYT quotes! — is just chef’s kiss narcissistic entitlement.

i find the popularity of these kind of edits (and it's almost always JFK or FDR) interesting bc they point to a real yearning for someone actually willing to make an enthusiastic case for liberalism instead of just trying to lightly nudge the ball on X, someone who actually believes in something

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

MURC'S LAW Journalists who blame Democrats for situations brought about by Republican behavior are following Murc's Law. Murc’s Law is "the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics." *
Meme with green background and the text:

MURC'S LAW 
Journalists who blame Democrats for situations brought about by Republican behavior are following Murc's Law. Murc’s Law is "the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics." * 

These journalists seem to believe (perhaps unconsciously) that Republicans have so little control over their own behavior that they cannot be held accountable for their own actions. 

So, instead of blaming Republicans for the political difficulties they cause, they blame Democrats for failing to control Republicans’ bad behavior.

This is at least the second trial where a large number of jurors personally disliked Musk this much — earlier this year the Twitter investor suit ran into the same issue

Almost half of the prospective jurors for a Twitter investor lawsuit against Elon Musk were disqualified because they declared their hatred for him.

Shawn McCreesh Reporting as part of the White House press pool

I'm one of the small number of journalists traveling with the White House press pool tonight. We were in a hall just outside the ballroom when the commotion first rang out.
Several things happened in quick succession.
Tuxedoed agents pulled out guns and began running toward the ballroom. White-jacketed caterers screamed and bolted for stairwells.
Pandemonium reigned as top cabinet officials were evacuated.
Robert Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, came out and were ushered intr an
elevator. Then Jeanine Piro emerged. The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, came tearing across the hallway with two men in tow; his girlfriend was hiding in a room with another man who was holding her hand, Reporters are about to be taken back into the ballroom.
The show will go on, apparently.

there's a kind of defeatist fecklessness on much of the left which rejects the possibility of the government doing anything other than running on the New Deal's fumes forever, and which believes that anything destroyed is gone irrevocably

Klein argues that we have to engage with Piker on Israel-Gaza because he reflects the party base's growing anger on Israel. First, he's not an expert; he doesn't actually know anything. Second, he's not just an an anti-Zionist; he's fully genocidal about Israel and on the side of Hamas and Hez.

Trump's threats of war crimes, even genocide, are a moral atrocity in their own right. But also, importantly, they achieved less than nothing. Iran came to the table because Trump agreed to their negotiating framework. As @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, people should take on this lie directly.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Honestly, I really should write up my thoughts in longform about how much Magic: the Gathering game theory has shaped my evaluation of political decisions. Because I see so much of what is known as "results-oriented thinking" dominating discourse when my impulse is always to try to factor out luck.
