I know that everyone is like “oh the whole point of this is to destroy CBS, they actually want to run it into the ground” and I’m sure plenty of folks will be happy if they do
but David Ellison and Bari Weiss don’t want that! they really think they’ve got something! they are just very bad at this
Correct.
You can press an economic agenda that lifts everyone up without tearing some people down. It's not hard -- we just saw a good example of it.
And yeah, this is NYC. But J.B. Pritzker and Andy Beshear have shown it works in other places too.
Did you know that some MLB owners take out loans against future season ticket sales and then use that money to buy themselves mansions/yachts etc? With the added bonus of being able to whine to fans that the team is actually carrying a lot of debt?
Last dodger owners did this!
right. lizza, that piece of shit, waited until nuzzi, that piece of shit, had her book coming out, so he could drift off her promotional tailwinds and make money.
Very disappointing, yet sadly expected.
The collapse of US journalism is one of the big stories of this troubled time.
One of my sociology graduate advisors divorced his wife, who was a joint professor in sociology and women's studies, and married a graduate student in sociology. He is one of the reasons I had a breakdown in 1993. He had been hitting on me while I was his advisee. More than thirty years ago.
centrist who is eerily defensive of jeffery epstein: “if a person on the news, such as a female journalist talks about a topic, does she deserve threats in a joking way?”
the female journalist & the topic:
everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Bluesky (team) rushing off to find an excuse why they banned Link after doing so because of a crashout
I dunno, The Future is Wild promised me tree-dwelling future-Octopi.
The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds.

They’re booting Black people off campus, but don’t worry, they’re being replaced with the suicide bots.
Bernie Sanders record of surrounding himself with people who then got gigs of their own by association only to turn out to be absolute disasters at it is only matched in public life by Bill Belichick
bingo
i know it’s critical & it matters & don’t fucking lecture me but i seriously fucking hate reading trans histories sometimes because things are moving along okayish & then right right right they let everyone die & then everyone was dead & then it was the 1990s: decade of transsexual punchlines.
I bought an e-bike 4 years ago and have traveled 6000 miles on it instead of driving but these techbros are dwarfing my carbon emission savings. Yes it makes me angry that we citizens are trying but the gov just lets these guys spew pollution and drive up our electric prices to boot
One worry I have about Democrats right now is that they do not want to confront how much of the country disagrees with them.
First, Trump did moderate the Republican Party in crucial areas: Medicare, Social Security and trade.
There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want.
This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.
centrists and conservatives will always do 'no not like that.' the green new deal was to address concerns about making transition politically acceptable, while spreading costs and benefits equitably, and the response was 'why is all this non-green stuff in there'
Love how he drew Nomi Sunrider's arms lol.
the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.
Not only that but the IRA disproportionately located those jobs in red and purple states.
They thought it might make it harder to cut.
It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.
Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!
you'll note that the tech companies on this list are making ungodly piles of money, beating earnings expectations, and seeing their stock go through the roof
the 2025 economy, everyone: fuck you, give us the whole pie
This smarmy fuck will absolutely throw his wife and kids under the bus if they get in the way of his dream of sitting in the big chair.
