Every story about Miller is quickly reduced to “he is the worst gutter racist you can imagine”

They can if they register as “Democrats” which is very easy to do

His incredible smugness as he squirts out “EVEN ILLEGALS???” is just something else. Total absence of a soul

FALSE ADVERTISING: Defense of 2A is NOWHERE to be found in misleadingly titled Just Shoot Me

I don’t even understand this one! Both Trump and Elon have said space is real!!

Some of y’all STILL DONT GET IT
If Elon consumes a slurp juice while fighting with the president that he spent 100s of millions of dollars to get elected, he will split into MULTIPLE ELONS

They finally made it easy enough for the dems to capitalize! Hooray!

Gnarly to see all the Elon megafans be like “is it ok to say now that i think Trump isn’t fit for office and i only voted for him because my weird gross tech billionaire hero told me it would be epic”

I’m being informed this was a numskull take

Honestly: is it paranoid that i am wondering if this spat is completely or partially staged to help Elon get “distance” from the Trump admin so that his stocks stabilize?

First person to run on vigorously prosecuting Stephen Miller gets my ardent support

I do feel like he’s got political instinct and charisma unlike any left NYC politician since the blindingly alluring and gutturally attuned Billiam de Blasiizzoner

Not a single “AOC”! Wonder if they thought it might seem desperate for her endorsement? Or too “extreme”?
But god it hurt my soul to see so many “Jeffries” votes

Oh good point, i don’t know

OK, so this is why the left is very suspicious of these guys, huh. I heard a debate with Klein the other day and he came out sounding pretty reasonable, but this kind of broad hostility to unions is definitely a red flag

You’re right, NYT. These guys (who faced no actual action against them for this conduct) are the biggest victims in academia right now. It’s this kind of laser focus on the “big picture” that makes the Gray Lady truly the Paper of Record. Incredibly venerable institution! Well played!

That’s it, awful man. Give in to the temptation. Throw the tantrum

The aide probably tried to stop the interview because this wording makes very, very clear that the question is not in good faith

No offense and i appreciate the gift article, but i hope the Times’ Q&A with Zohran was similarly light and deferential, considering Zohran didn’t badger a bunch of women, didn’t kneecap dem priorities by gifting the GOP control of the NY legislature and didn’t arguably endanger seniors during COVID

I think they are really certain that as long as they don’t give an inch the rightwing media machine can polarize enough folks into their column kind of no matter what they do. I’m hoping they are very wrong, but it’s not gonna help if Dems are taking the lesson “we need to be vanilla-er!” from 2024

“Facts don’t care about your feelings” guys somehow always seem to really, really not know any facts

I’m biased as a fan of theirs but i just don’t think the Radiohead lads are in the top 100,000 things we need to worry about as relates to stopping the genocide in Gaza

John Roberts didn’t give Stephen Miller immunity, i know that much

Right. You shouldn’t have voted that way is the big takeaway here maam

I’d vastly prefer new dad chaos to the “I’ll let ICE overrun NYC and work with conservatives to kneecap progressive reform” kind of chaos that Cuomo would bring

Love that the Trumpian “never apologize” thing has rank and filers filming themselves in front of public bathrooms and in cemeteries being like “hey constituents: i hate you”

I didn’t pick one up yet! (Wanted to finish The Name of the Wind first — but I hear I can take my time with the sequel given how long the third one’s taking…) I appreciate these recommendations, think I’ll go with The Night Watch since I’ve enjoyed the blurbs from that one a lot

Can’t believe in addition to the staggering material harms being inflicted we’re also being subjected to the weird angry sex drama of the world’s least attractive and most morally repugnant people

A reminder that Cuomo will continue Adams’ policy of complete collusion with the Trump admin

I find more awful the folks who are like “oh well i don’t want the ones i know personally to be deported! Just the scary ones i was told were everywhere by the tv”
Like, Squires is an evil guy, at least he is consistent. The other people… I just can’t wrap my head around how this all surprises them

Seems like this admits the actions against Harvard are being done out of pure antipathy toward college graduates and not due to any actual misconduct by the school? Does that matter legally? Seems like that should matter god dammit

Hope one of the comments under Elon’s post is something to the effect of “boo hoo, chode”
comment in response to

When they do a lot of coverage of some culture war furore that should be a nonissue practically it’s especially enraging. They’ll say “we’re just covering what people are talking about” and it’s like… your relentless coverage is WHY a lot of people are talking about this. Not the case here, but yeah
comment in response to
post
I think the framing of the headline is what’s being complained about here. One of the more galling things about the NYT at the moment IMO is that they often pretend like their coverage exists outside the zeitgeist looking in, instead of accepting that what they choose to cover shapes the zeitgeist

He really loves that format (“HAPPY [holiday] TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING [incredibly long list of perceived enemies and grievances]”)

Some of the most wonderful people in my life as a kid were childless family members who gave me and my sibs so much love, fun and adventure. Anyone who equates non-motherhood with anything other than what it is on its face should GTFOH

The “who is personally nice to me and who is personally mean to me will determine my reporting” litmus test always seems to be used by the most self-important journos

Can you “join a bandwagon” if you helped to build the bandwagon and already work for an organization that supports running as many people as possible over with bandwagons

Just going ahead and reprinting the company’s approved copy, cool

And (sorry to go on and on here, but) it is very irksome that Tapper seems comfortable holding forth at length about the horror of having a president diminished by age, but maintains a careful neutrality or even speaks positively when alluding to the authoritarian alternative
comment in response to

You know, you could have written about 2,000 articles titled “The Pro-Israel Movement Faces Uncertain Future After Bombing of Refugee Camp/Aid Convoy/Daycare/Hospital,” but you never did. Why?
Every single person speaking up for Palestinians I know has condemned this shooting. Very easy to do both
comment in response to
post
Like, was Biden definitely not up to another term and should the party have metabolized that info much quicker and forced action? Of course. But is Tapper feeling misled by certain Dem contacts even close to the objectively worst thing that has happened to this nation in the past year? Of course not
