the most sincerest of congratulations to MSNBC, who just replaced 2 shows hosted by nominal (albeit milquetoast) journalists with 2 shows helmed by members of the Biden admin, a former head of the RNC, & the daughter of the gold-bar-loving Senator

when artists who work in different media are mutual fans of each other i feel it produces this type of outstanding vibe

making government employees send emails justifying their continued employment by explaining the work they did the previous week? damn — they really are running government like a business

you do not, under any circumstances, have to repeatedly share the neo-Nazi fucks currently dismantling the US government & enacting all their (more) fascistic bullshit celebrating their "successes"

I know my LTRBXD watchlist is out of control (4400+ & counting), but when you find out about a 1974 TV miniseries about an author accusing a doctor of being a Nazi that stars Ben Gazarra & Anthony Hopkins, it’d be criminal to not watchlist it boxd.it/5dUK

I'm so sick of people being congratulated for resigning (not here, just in general, everywhere). resigning does nothing but open up a seat to a loyalist. remember that CIA manual about disruption we were all talking about? malicious compliance? what happened to that???

(my kingdom -- or a modest monthly / yearly fee -- for an MMFA-like ombusdman org that focuses more on properly fact-checking / contextualizing the "impartial" dipshittery Politico / Semafor / NYT / etc. hork up every day & less on doing Daily-Show-level "gotchas" on Fox & Friends & friends)

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

for me, it's less that the Politico newsletter clown doesn't seem to know grade-school-textbook shit about his current beat (& I hope no one tries the "but he's from the UK!" defense) & more about his glib "impartial" "analysis" re: what DJT is perpetrating in comparison to FDR

If you don’t follow artists, this may not be well known. Image search has become absolutely inundated with useless sludge and made finding reference much harder, but not always impossible. I’ve been navigating this for years now so I thought I would share some of my strategies

Ok lets get into it then. Hi I'm Valentine, I was one of the employees who led most of the walkouts and who was part of the original group pushing for unionization at Blizzard, especially on the WoW team where I worked at the time.

TIL that a former basketball blogger (JCK) went the Silver / Strauss route of “writer / thinker makes a name for himself taking about sports —> uses his fame & cache to repeatedly show his ass weighing in on topics he has no business discussing”

Weird how I feel like I heard a bunch of people saying this only a few months ago about something else and everybody telling them they were traitors to their nation. But let me guess, “that was different.”

I was doing a watch-through of 227 recently (hello, Ms Jackée Harry) and there was an episode about the characters rejecting a lucrative business turn to divest themselves from a company funding apartheid, and anyway that was 1987

This excellent post identifies some huge flaws in a "study" by the MRC which doesn't interrogate why right-wing sources like OANN and Newsmax are deprecated (not banned) as sources on Wikipedia, and ignored right-leaning sources that are considered reliable and are widely used.

the reason to systematically primary safe seat Dems in 2026 and 2028 is because they don't have the guts to do what needs to be done in 2029 even if they get the spine to do what needs to be done when under crushing pressure in 2025

I wish I could get my hopes up wrt Dems actually going after Musk directly & not mincing words, but I've little doubt the current leadership will contort themselves to either excuse the GOP's involvement or just straight up apologize for the rude language
