Live long enough in NYC and you begin to realize that success is just 45% gumption, 45% luck, and maybe 10% talent. This tracks.
THIS was the staggering millennial talent that hypnotized every 50+ man in DC and NYC? Really? Paired with hearing her actually speak and it’s a slap in the face to thousands and thousands of more talented journalists who have lost their jobs as their industry is strangled.
I cannot convey to you the sheer fucking weirdness of Olivia Nuzzi's book.

And therapy isn’t magic. Please stop telling men to go to therapy who have no intention of making any changes and just want another woman to validate them
Children are not therapy
Wives are not therapy
Marriage is not therapy
only therapy is therapy

The one positive of 2025 is that more and more people are waking up to the fact that we are ruled by maladjusted and venal morons whose only real qualifications are getting in at the right time and then being ruthless servants of power

Trump has told many stories about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The documents tell another story. This thread compares what Trump said to what the record shows. Each section cites reporting, filings, and the newly released emails.

As a libertarian socialist who is just old enough to have voted for Obama in '08, I have a lot of trepidation about Mamdani. But it is an unequivocal joy to watch people remember that better things are possible, and I hope we continue to channel that energy in our communities regardless of outcome

The gutting of Teen Vogue, a publication which dared to treat its readers seriously and with respect, is an especially dispiriting day in old media's long, self-destructive forced march to nowhere
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Trump just said that being “AntiTrump” is “probably illegal.”
We are in the midst of an authoritarian attempting to seize power.
He will not win. We will not be ruled.

There are no national media outlets in Durango, CO - 8 hours from Denver - like there are in Chicago or LA. Grateful to have local journalists + the Durango Herald covering the latest ICE thuggery.

Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

It’s not a new type of voter; voters are just looking for authenticity and conviction more than anything else right now!
