while Californians are losing their homes, businesses and lives in wildfires, Stephen A Smith on ESPN First Take this am spent his entire introduction on how upset he was that it was cold outside in NY, while he sat in a warm studio. Unreal.

If you stay on Twitter (X) and Threads please know you are supporting Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg in their undermining of our democracy. Time to exit those platforms.

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc. It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.

The idea that a medical debate between a long time heroin addict & steroid abuser with a BA in English and a guy with no medical background and a reported history of long time drug use is being taken seriously is quite insane and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/h...

Scolding people for wanting to tune out is exactly the wrong approach. Give them something other than Trump outrage of the day to tune INTO and spur ACTION. Doom scrolling is not being a good citizen and it's not accomplishing anything.

Fuck antisemites. All of them. Antisemitism must be condemned immediately & strongly by all of us whenever & wherever it rears its ugly head. It’s almost 2025. There should no longer be so many public acts of antisemitism. But there are. Stand with our Jewish brothers & sisters.

Pearl Harbor. A study in unpreparedness. Not just budgets and technology. Not just training and tactical leadership. A basic inability to believe there are enemies out there scheming to kill us. All of us. Study history. Believe. “Only the dead have seen the end of war.”

A reminder why it would be so dangerous to have cranks and contrarians who minimized the threat of the last pandemic in charge of the federal healthcare system

So Elon Musk is threatening a retired US Lt. Colonel with execution. Hope the FBI is investigating. Having this unstable South African with a reported history of extensive drug abuse involved with government contracts is insane.

Chef José Andrés has been to Ukraine and seen things there first hand. Now he’s invited Joe Rogan to go there with him, instead of spout Russian disinformation. Class act.

well, as all the votes are nearly finally counted, it looks like this election wasn't so good for GOP and wasn't as bad for Dems. Trump will win popular vote by less than 1.6% and not get a majority, one of smallest margins in last 100 years. Dems will pick up seats in House, and stave off...

In 2018 Dems elected the largest class to Congress since Watergate, ~60 seats. A lot of it was, yes, Trump backlash. But the winners also had another thing in common, despite a wide range of differences: most rejected corporate PAC money. It’s a hugely compelling factor to voters & underdiscussed

RFK, Jr. opposes all mandatory vaccines in schools. All of them. It's not clever or interesting to present a contrary opinion that serves to justify policies that will kill people and reduce the chances for a healthy life for millions. It's stupid and evil.

Rather than engaging in unsatisfying hypotheticals time is better spent preparing for the deluge of destructive and dangerous Trump policies. Voters who thought Trump was their savior are about to get a rude awakening. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
