Spooky as fuck.

Yet again @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social, you're giving Trump free air time, for something as non-"breaking news" as a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Please learn from your mistakes.

I think now we can see that "USAID is evil and full of Marxists" really means "USAID was on the verge of blowing the lid off my Ukraine grift". gizmodo.com/elon-musks-e...

@kim.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @repilhan.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @connolly.house.gov Many have been asking, "what are Democrats doing?" Let's recognize that *these* are Dems that are doing something. Show them your support.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social for the love of God, stop talking about sports and the Grammys. These things do not matter right now.

I was flabbergasted by an immigrant coworker who, responding to my assertion that Trump will seek to go after critics and political enemies, asked "but I thought Trump announced freedom speech?" Now slowly peeling the layers of disinfo that this friend and his family have absorbed.

FBI Director Christopher Wray plans to step down from his role, rather than allowing Trump to fire him. Someone please make this make sense in a way that isn't depressing. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

Because after all we've been through, we apparently don't even deserve a little poetic justice.

As if awakening from a dream, I remembered where The Bulwark came from, and was reminded that the enemy of my enemy is not (necessarily) my friend.

The thing is much of what they offered IS good. Obviously if you believe hosts like Hayes and Maddow are just "corporate media" without real investigative and analytical value, this won't connect with you -- but I think those voices are essential, and I haven't yet found a replacement in ind media.

If you have eight spare minutes and want your hair to burst into flame, watch this report by @chrislhayes.bsky.social on a planned transfer of US funds into Bitcoin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWAN...

Sometimes I have to just wipe the curmudgeonly snarl off my face and report something good: Nick Fuentes has reportedly been arrested and charged with battery. www.nydailynews.com/2024/12/06/n...

This piece by @harrylitman.bsky.social in his resignation from the LA Times deserves a full read. American journalism may well be undergoing a sea change, and the outcome is very unclear. open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

Now *THIS* is how you do it.

If you haven't already sworn off @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social after the Trump visit, or after the base apology following @davidfrum.bsky.social's appearance, perhaps like me you'll find this morning's nauseatingly self-righteous rant to be the last straw.
