Hey @nytimes.com I have more than one device I access you on. I have a phone, a laptop, AND, you'll never believe this, a couple of desktop computers. They're ALL mine. They're not anyone else's. But you make me verify EVERY time I'm on a different thing OR I can give you more money for no reason

holy shit Lindsey Graham just up and died. Like I think he did a technical "up and died" while we were all focused on McConnell. Wow

Thomas Smith @seriouspod.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I'll never forgive Trump for ruining things to such an extent that I don't even care about McConnell potentially dying. This should have been a moment of shared joy and celebration. Instead, I'm not even sure him dying helps anything right now which would be a HELL of a sentence to tell 2016 me.

wtf is this framing? "Why are people so OBSESSED with the fact that we have a legit sociopath running the country? It's so WEIRD! We got an expert to explain why the people are being weirdos!"

This is the entire schtick. If media elites had been asking the very basic question Chris is asking starting in 2012ish, we literally would not have elected Trump. I’m exaggerating 0%.

One of the million ways we know it wasn’t staged is that the manifesto didn’t read “I did it because as the Leader of my Local “ANTIFA” TERROR SELL I cannot stand how STRONG President Trump is making our Country! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

IT WASN’T STAGED. IT’S NEVER STAGED. NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN STAGED. ARE YOU ALL DUMB OR JUST PRETENDING TO BE DUMB FOR FUN. EITHER WAY IT IS FURTHER ERODING THE ALREADY ATROCIOUS INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT AND YOU SHOULD STOP.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

I really think the NYT will consider itself to have done a good job one we get to “President Trump, some critics say the ethnic cleansing and the camps are morally bad. What’s your response?”

Dear god, if I hear how this event was a "political Rorschach test" one more goddamn fucking time... No. It was a murder. Some number of people either refuse to see that or see it and like it. That isn't a fucking Rorschach test.

You see, it was his past trauma that made him film himself murdering a woman and calling her dead body a “fuckin bitch.” He was afraid!

Just heard someone on the news say oil was in the “subtext” of the press conference. Even when Trump just says “it’s about the oil” somehow it’s still too far for the media to just say “it’s about the oil.”

God this is such a fucking bummer. The thing they think DEI is is actually what they are. Bari Weiss's talents are: getting rich people to give her money, and cosplaying as a "journalist" by using centrism and faux objectivity language to obscure her persistent bias and sizable incompetence.
