POV: You're 16, believe being in advanced placement math class means you're a once in a generation genius, and have just discovered Reddit.

Nigel Farage & Liz Truss happy at an event too fascistic even for the political heir to the Le Pens… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Conspiracy theory godfather David Icke is against what Musk is doing to the federal govt, describing it as the Great Reset.

There's nothing more frustrating than to hear Trump voters saying they didn't vote for this. It's not as if Trump isn't the most chronicled & easily understood criminal in modern political history.

Whoops!

at this point it's an open question if ag sulzberger is more or less evil than rupert murdoch

Douthat has been one of Trump’s strongest soldiers for 10 years. I don’t think it’s wishcasting at all, Douthat knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s sanewashing.

Most misunderstood hero in all of fiction. Tried to save us from a future of rapey tech bro fascists and was vilified for it.

joked about Elon ODing and woke up to this email. no idea when i'll be able to post on the other site again. free speech is back baby

some incredible cope content

This smug gleeful piece revels in scolding the dumb libs for being cringe and caring about things. It welcomes fascist Trump’s Ukrainian surrender and insists resisting against fascist Putin is impossible. People with seething contempt for EU liberals but resigned acceptance of fascism are fascist.

meanwhile you have Tom Nichols and George Conway types acting like this came from nowhere when they signed off on shit like this for decades

once again really striking how normal people will keep asking the same question when they haven't gotten an answer to it while the people who pay $250,000 for journalist school do not do this

Whether in aerospace or nations — both of which are mature entities — big and rapid changes too quickly will cause systems to fracture, break apart and stop functioning.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

the new york times is genuinely evil

People mistaking their own YouTube algorithm for consensus reality is a big problem we’re going to need to solve if we want a politics of solidarity and communal good to win like…ever.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Republican Congress members “are feeling helpless” to push back against the Musk/Trump layoffs and cutbacks because, as we know, the Constitution gives them no say whatsoever in this matter. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

US consumer sentiment dropped more than expected in February to a 15-month low and inflation expectations rocketed as households worried that President Donald Trump's plans for steep and broad-based tariffs would eat into their purchasing power reut.rs/41gv4Aq

I guess we shouldn't be surprised anymore .... but it still blows my mind how consistently they do PR for Trump. He could literally put Putin in charge of the military and they'd print his press release about it.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

Looks like @nytimes.com has stealth-edited this to add Evans' affiliation with Young Republicans. No correction or update note. I don't think I've ever worked with a single editor who would let me get away with that but it seems to happen regularly over there.

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

DAILY STAR: Poodles: an apology #TomorrowsPapersToday

A serious journalistic institution that isn't just some vanity project for rich assholes might look into Elon Musk's very public, very noticeable, very serious drug habit.

I am the shocked who could have guessed this obvious group of ratfuckers would fuck a rat like that

It mean it didn’t even take a letter to get Philip Bump’s boss, the oligarch Jeff Bezos, to turn his newspaper over to fascism.

Anyways, so this is whose podcast Maurice Glasman is happy to appear on. And yet people think he should have some voice in Labour politics?

Kash Patel just opened a file on this guy.

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mcc...
