one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

With Talarico now the slight favorite in the race, national Republicans have flooded Texas' airwaves with commercials to save Paxton's flagging campaign. That makes sense. Any Texan who has turned on the TV in the past few weeks already knows that Talarico is "for they/them" and seen the ad where a Latino boy gets hit with a Transgenderification Beam and turns into a beautiful woman. But much of the nation was confused about why they, non-Texans, were seeing this stuff while trying to watch the Philadelphia Eagles-Los Angeles Rams game on Sunday.

Trump says that he’s going to start paying for those propaganda ads with his super PAC money but no word on whether he’ll reimburse the government for the millions already spent.

Trump: The Radical Left is upset with the fact that I am taking Ads, which I consider to be a positive promotion for our Great U.S.A., and paying for them with U.S.A. money. This is a rather standard thing to do but, rather than doing that, although nothing will make them happy, I have decided to do the Patriotic Ads, among others, and pay for them myself, and with money I raised for MAGA, Inc. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President
DONALD J. TRUMP

This may be the first time U.S. forces have retreated in Europe during a major conflict. Not before the Nazis. Not before the Soviets. Not before Al Qaeda. Not until the Trump administration.

Yes. In general I think consensus view of AI should be not as objective digital substitutes for knowledge, work, experience & thought but rather as output devices engineered to filter data through the worldview of their owners. And I think this should be obvious. That’s why every rich guy owns one.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.
