trying to get jamelle in particular fired is funny because even if you succeed he's going to start a $2M/year substack

it’s not fair that everyone can respond to this with “are the straights ok?” but i can’t ask about the gays no matter what they do

If you’re not familiar with the way industry insiders, political hacks, oddball volunteers and some of the world’s largest media outlets regularly combine on idiotic stunts intentionally constructed to fool the public into believing drivel and bullshit, then “Climategate” is a handy place to begin.

this piece identifies a bunch of genuine issues, but is also extremely meandering and sloppy. at one point the authors claim erin deadnamed someone, and only a few paragraphs later it becomes clear that they weren’t actually able to confirm that. wild move to make in a fact-checking piece.

remembering Joe Biden’s 2022 60 Minutes interview

How would you say your mental focus is?
President Joe Biden (15:58):
Oh, it's focused. Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself in my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. I mean, it's just not... I haven't observed anything in terms of... There's not things I don't do now that I did before, whether it's physical or mental or anything else.
Speaker 1(16:26):
You have had a string of legislative successes recently-
President Joe Biden (16:32):

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
