Too many Vances. We should force them into gladiatorial combat.

"And the [near] majority of the country voted for this very thing to happen." Nice editorial addition, Mark, but it should have been "And the [near] majority of [less than 2/3 of the eligible voters in the] country voted for this very thing to happen." About 31% of eligible voters voted for this.

And even that assumes that the 31% expected/wanted Musk to do this bull-in-a-china-shop rampage through agencies without regard to the law.

"But I was so appalled by the way the government handled Covid."

And that tells you everything about how little you should care about what Ashlee Vance thinks.

Anyone who is still speaking about the govt response in such a manner with the overwhelming data we now have is not a serious person.

Washington/the USA does not need a chaos agent.

I assume you asked him why his opinion is worth anything about Washington? Does a must biographer know anything about washington? About how government works? And then gave us second thought about why you would even report what his opinion is rather than the drunk at the end of the bar?

“I feel like I was reborn”

I’ll never understand how people can hear someone talk like this and not immediately think that they’re a conman

lol fuck this rotbrained collaborator & his techbro death cult

gerudoku.bsky.social•17 days ago

why publish this drivel. who does it serve to elevate the voice of a "journalist" rooting for the destruction of journalism, cheering on the fascist he hagiographied, parroting the same dehumanizing mantras about "desk workers" as every other AI cultist, never daring to push back on his BS narrative

Journalism needs more folks in prominent roles with open contempt for how we're governed. The left, specifically. There's too much coddling and respect for these broken institutions. How good is the news going to be if the Jen Psakis fret about getting tossed from the media-government pipeline?
