Part of what's going on here is that a lot of people who work in the news media/infotainment world can't imagine anything being more important than infotainment content.

Hi @bsky.app! Any update on the issue of age verification? For the last six weeks, I’ve been required to verify my age every single time I’ve opened your app. It’s gotten extremely old. Is there not any ability to retain this information once submitted?

Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica. prospect.org/2026/08/11/m...

The failure of Biden and Garland to seriously lay down the hammer after J6 on both the insurrectionists, and more importantly, the politicians who enabled them will go down as a failure on par with the failure of reconstruction. A historic fumble I will go to my grave thinking this.

not saying gov agencies haven’t made mistakes, but the root causes here are the lack of sufficient regulatory/enforcement authority and capacity, both of which can only be addressed by congress

People angrily insisting that El-Sayed using the phrase “break bread” re: sharing a meal with Jews at Passover was ignorant or offensive or insincere is a peak combination of assholes going out of their way to find something to get angry about & some Jews having weird illiteracy about Judaism.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
While broadcasters typically air a prime-time address by the president, they determined that this speech was more ‘political’ than newsworthy for live coverage

Watching Israeli genocide apologists latch on to the attack on Amnesty International really shows how these struggles are intertwined.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) that says, "Sue Amnesty into the ground." He is quote-posting a post by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) that reads, "Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

Democratic fundraiser texts: "Our democracy is at stake. This is the most important election you will ever vote in, ever. Give today or the fascists win." Democratic leaders: "I already miss my close friend, the merchant of war and unraveller of democracy that he was, because he was so damn witty."

this is the actual story in this story: the "manly man" PR pitch an "operative" made to this writer apparently worked www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Critiques such as Poindexter’s have gelled into a consensus over the past two years, repeated ad nauseam by starchy senators and governors with an eye toward running for president in 2028. Closing the gender gap now seems to be an official electoral strategy for Democrats. A couple of months ago, I got a call from a party operative who pitched a story on the Democrats’ effort to “win back the manosphere.” The operative ran through a list of a half dozen candidates in key House districts who “are engaging culturally in male spaces”—a bit of gobbledygook that I took to mean “manly men,” or perhaps “guy’s guys,” but that also reflects the sort of anthropological distance that points to the depth of the party’s problem. After all, an ironworker probably wouldn’t describe himself as “engaging culturally in male spaces.”

Amazing! ICE kills a man ~7:30 am. 1st news report is an hour later. ~1:30 pm, a group of 𝒔𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 marches in Main Street and "storms into the Biddeford office of [U.S.] Sen. Susan Collins." Would be hard to do in NYC. Biddeford pop. = 22,000! www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...
As the crowd marched down Main Street and gathered outside Sen. Collins’ Biddeford office, about a dozen people made it inside the entryway, chanting “Vote her out!” and banging their fists on the office’s locked doors.

Staffers inside could be seen on the phone as the crowd grew. Minutes later, five Biddeford police officers pushed through the entryway and placed themselves between protestors and the door.

“This is your fault Susan!” one man shouted.

“You're a fascist!” another person yelled at the officers.

The crowd dissipated and began marching back toward Mechanics Park after chanting at and heckling the officers.

Police did not answer questions about whether Collins’ staffers called 911 on protestors.
