Don’t print lies in the newspaper Don’t keep hosting the far right authoritarians who engage in serial performative lying on your TV shows Don’t keep asking “Is the sun going to rise in the east?” when you can simply look outside & observe the direction of the sunrise What is journalism, anyway?

reposting whatever this is w alt text Did you not Google Hanania? Must someone explicitly self-identify as racist for you to identify them as such? I assume naivete & absence of people who wouldn't let you show your ass in public are contributing factors here, but they can only contribute so much!

We were likely years away from making HIV a thing of the past. Humanity triumphing over one of its worst diseases Instead we'll live in a world where people continue getting sick because of a greedy few who didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes

CBS owner Shari Redstone is a coward who just wants to retire, but the people acquiring CBS (led by a guy fired from Comcast for sexual harassment) are even worse...just the biggest Trump bootlickers imaginable who will turn CBS into another fox news type propaganda mill

If there is anyone I trust to determine whether Musk is truly stepping away from destroying the federal government, it's the good people at @wired.com. Their coverage of DOGE has been exemplary. According to them, DOGE is busier than ever.

AI chatbots have been rolled out across 100s of white-collar workplaces but their effect on hours & pay has been negligible accrdg NBER.

He spent much of 2024 claiming that he was done with political spending while he was spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump. You have to be a grade A mark to take his claims that he's stepping away from anything at face value

Heard an NPR interview with a microbiome researcher in the UK whose work was cited by RFKjr's pro-death group as saying fluoride hurt gut microbiome health. She explained her research showed, if anything, fluoride improved microbiome health. NPR: "Weird. Let's move on." bsky.app/profile/geor...
