The “reporting” people like Haberman produce is gossip. It’s juicy gossip like the shit you read about Britney. It’s Roger Stone (one of her favorite sources) telling you dumb shit like his Coke button or which aide is fucking over who. It does not matter. It’s bullshit.

This may be the favourite slide I have designed for our first year core module this year.

Screenshot of a Powerpoint slide. On the left hand side is the heading 'your voice is more important han the computer's voice, and a list of bullet points explaining that AI generated prose isn't very good. On the right is a photo of a person in a Hello Kitty costume, wearing a pink princess dress, holding a sledgehammer and about to smash a laptop that is sitting at her feet.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

When I was six and a toy commercial showed toy cars leaping huge obstacles and toy fighter jets firing plastic missiles across the room I was intelligent enough to realize it was fake and self-aware enough to be offended that they thought I was that stupid.

JD Vance’s not so subtle point is that the United States belongs to white Christian men, and the rest of us who don’t meet all three qualifications only belong here insofar as our betters choose to tolerate us.

An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

Again, we have done upwards of 300 focus groups since outset of 2021 & in ones where we asked folks open ended what's wrong with Dems zero times has anyone volunteered anything about trans people. It's possible, yes, to lead them there but it's not top of mind.

Both the mainstream media and the gop (and dem leadership) bought into this notion that Trumps squeaker of a win over Harris was this giant sweeping mandate for conservatism and Trumpism. It never was. He won against a Democratic Party that has spent multiple decades hobbling itself. That’s it.

i want to eventually see the insanely long elon musk documentary, but in the interim, this short 2 paragraph nuclear bomb from @karlbode.com is about the single best description of elon ive ever seen

Quick reminder: Elon Musk is an unremarkable and virulent racist who cosplays as a supergenius engineer. He leveraged the money he lucked into at Paypal to opportunistically glom onto actual innovators and take singular credit for their work while consistently cutting corners in ways that put human lives at risk.

There's bottomless evidence he doesn't know how anything works, yet has found unsurprising financial success in a country being devoured alive by artifice.
