Better hope Trump's Park Service doesn't declare open season.

In a just world, they'd be meeting in prison.

The politics admittedly are getting crossed up (to say the least), but, since Iran is allied with Russia, pro-Ukraine also = anti-Iran, which puts this propagandist on the same side as Trump. It's all very Orwellian, but their original comment -- that you "sounded" pro-Iranian, was still bullshit.

I tend to think it was some grotesque, garbled gibberish from a senile old man whose brain is turning into a dirty sponge. But I recognize opinions may differ on this.

Of course, everyone already knows who was responsible. So the whole thing feels like a game: "We try to force you to admit it was the president himself, and you try to avoid saying it."

As opposed to actually selling your child into slavery -- as some of the GOP-voting MAGA snakehandling cultists do.

I tend to forgive him for a lot of the stupid macho shit because he was anti-fascist and a staunch supporter of the good guys in the Spanish Civil War.

Sometimes, there IS such a thing as bad publicity.

"Still, [Hilton] said, most of the reaction he’s heard has been positive: 'People have told me it’s genius.'" Grown men with tears in their eyes, etc.

#AIBubble UPDATE: Amazon is selling $8B in chips to a new investment vehicle and leasing them right back. It's like a loan dressed up as a sale so it never appears as debt. Reminder: the closer the housing bubble got to collapse, the stranger the financing became too.

Those are some long-ass sentences to be thinking in. There were a couple in Sound and the Fury that ran for almost a full page, as I recall. A good antidote: Read some Hemingway. "There here," he said. "I know," the Swede said.

Obviously a woke trans corporate conspiracy.

If past is prologue, they'll keep incrementally tightening well into the bubble popping, then wait too long to cut rates as the collapse unfolds, then cut massively into the recession. Time is a flat circle, etc.

Kinda odd to describe trying to put out a fire as "an insurance policy."

His M.O. has always been "fake it 'til you make it." But now it's just "fake it 'til you fake it some more."

We often talk about the judiciary in the context of hot-button issues like Roe, but the courts are just as much an enabler of oligarchy. Zachary Groz looks at a new report that names 10 judges most responsible for the corporate court, including several nominated by Democrats.

A new report details how the judiciary has become more corporate over the past few decades—and names the specific judges who are most responsible.

I do not like him on a board, I do not like him with an AI horde I do not like him in a data dump I do not like him next to Trump. I do not like that guy named Sam I do not like him, Faine I-am.

I think he's also pissed about the cracks and discolored tiles on the upper and lower cornices. I seriously doubt the NYT would doctor a photo that way. My guess is he hasn't been there in a while and doesn't realize how mildewed it's become.

I mean, there are exactly two interpretations of his gibberish: Either he invited Iran to nuke Los Angeles & San Diego, or he's too demented to say whatever he DID mean in a coherent way. if Bernstein didn't believe the first, he could've focused on the second. And lost the "fairness" crap.

010

I guess my feeling at this point is that if clueless liberals like Bernstein can't be helpful, they should just STFU. If you can't say anything bad about Trump, don't say anything at all.

Are you ordinarily in the business of covering for fascist monsters? Because I think all those slots at the White House are already taken. bsky.app/profile/patr...

That Hemingway quote about hunting men is alarmingly common in police culture. I've seen it on police union merch and on t-shirts and other swag at SWAT competitions and policing conferences.

To the extent they've grabbed control of legacy corporate media (CBS News, CNN, etc.), the left can and should leverage the decades of work the right has invested in discrediting them. They're all "deep state" now. The real threat is Twitter, Facebook. etc, where the algorithms are pure poison.

There's a takeover of the American news industry going on, pushed by Elon Musk, the Ellisons, the Saudis and others. Democracy is impossible if the truth is buried under right-wing propaganda, so we've got to push back against this "media capture." My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Contemporary media outlets are tethered above all to profit maximization. That structure explains why the press pool traded collective solidarity for a rushed return to the briefing room.
