Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos just emailed the paper's staff to announce a "change coming to our opinion pages."

Jeff Bezos says WaPo will no longer publish viewpoints that are against "free markets," as well as viewpoints against "personal liberties" (I have a feeling he means something very specific by the latter, and opeds about how we need to throw trans rights under the bus will still show up).

I think what this shows is that most people aren't actually anti-vax, they're just extremely obstinate about being asked to do anything even slightly inconvenient when they don't see an immediate benefit for themselves

1) shamelessly pretend that you have invented a thing which already exists 2) mark it up 5x 3) give it a cooler name 4) act like you are doing the world a favor at least he didn't call it the Trump card

Well Kamala Harris was not a secret lefty extremist and the MAGA guy won but besides that you absolutely nailed it

Elon Musk isn't going to see your disparaging "Muskrat" Skeets but THIS ADORABLE CREATURE WHO DID NOTHING THE FUCK WRONG MIGHT

I honestly think it would be hilarious if there was one family on White Lotus that was having just the best time, like we get two miserable storylines and then occasionally cut to this family going “We saw three dolphins!”

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

Andor just keeps being too real.

“scrub your website of trans people to save your funding” MIGHT seem like the rational choice when it’s put to you, but if you agree the main lesson they learn is that you can be strong armed

This is the first video I've seen from hoots, FD passed it along, but it was really good and I've been thinking about it for, like, two days www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW9c...

I missed this one: CNN filed a FOIA request for some information about DOGE accessing records at the office of personnel management, and someone from OPM wrote back saying "Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team." newrepublic.com/post/191663/...

The National Park Service just took down Marsha P. Johnson's page. www.nps.gov/people/marsh...

The Wheel of Time

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

if he can dissolve an agency by fiat then he cancel an election by fiat because he is no longer bound by statute or the constitution! like what the fuck are you even talking about?!?

Just got the "deferred resignation" offer. Ha. Haha ha. hahahaha

I have a lot of Blue Wave followers here. You're right to be proud in your opposition to fascism. I am now begging you to see just how ineffectual the Democrats have been in opposing that fascism and just how readily the corporate class have embraced it.

That guy who's been boosting Nazis and spreading Nazi propaganda for years? He was doing one of those "My Heart Goes Out To You" salutes.

Hey I called it

David Lynch was a man of mystery. I’ve seen Mulholland Dr. a dozen times and I still can’t figure out who’s the doctor

We received a metric tonne of r*pe apologia in the comments on this one but I'm really glad we made it. I hope it helps some of you processing your feelings about Gaiman. It's not intended as relitigation, but for fans in pain: youtu.be/T31HKuabyMA

@openargs.bsky.social @mattcameron.bsky.social Listening to the Eastman Dilemma episode. Could it be that Lawrence Lessig just isn't who you think he is? The guy was Koch funded for goodness' sake. Also, I don't think you guys properly tore down his proposal to overturn Citizens United.

The Best Videos of 2024: 🧵 This is just, like, my opinion.

It's the time of year to remind everyone of the best Holiday commercial ever made. youtu.be/wjdrUksw8b0

pretty impressive how Israel can do any land grab it wants, occupy any territory, even carry out what its own former Defense Minister calls "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza and US media always frames it as a "buffer zone". Unironically going to submit this to win Ad Age's marketing campaign of the Year
