Honestly my biggest takeaway from this clip is that Obama is very consciously elevating Mamdani (whom he cites unprompted as an example of the right way to do this) as a model while other top Dems still shirk him.

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

I agree, it's a tragedy that women running for office face so much discrimination among voters. I suspect this is why Warren won't endorse her either - internalized misogyny. Nevertheless, all that matters is beating the Republican.

Just a week or so ago Taibbi directly argued that you can make affirmative claims of fact absent any evidence whatsoever and this does not count as a lie as long as it meets the "can't rule it out" standard. How on earth can he sue anyone for libel?

NEW: Israeli settlers allegedly beat a young American as she defended one of the last Palestinian families left in their way of stealing more land. They then attacked a grandma & two kids, threatening to burn them alive if they didn’t leave their land. She says the US hasn’t responded to her.

It's one thing to make "all my former friends hate me" a rotating style of post but it's a special kind of attention starved to actually *lie* about it - likes have been private for years!

Most newsrooms I've worked in have been obsessed with mental health.

Once, my editor offered us January 6th off to process the “trauma” of the Capitol riot—even though we were all working from home in our pajamas. The New York Times nearly revolted over an op-ed in 2020 that some claimed could literally kill them.

Most journalism conferences I’ve been to have had sessions on “work-life balance.” The listservs I used to belong to were full of messages about demanding bosses or chronic migraines. It’s an obsession.

And yet—not a single journalist outside my Free Press bubble has checked in since October 7.

I caught a former friend from Columbia—a girl who comes from media royalty—liking negative tweets about me.

"Dude, is this why you haven't been responding to my texts asking to hang out?" I immediately texted her.
