A certain paper has stood alone giving good reviews to big splashy shows most other critics feel are not good. There are rumors.

I thought "the president's just a wannabe king who flies a shit-dropping plane over his own country" is something his enemies would say about him but you do you

Men will literally give a beautiful young woman singing lessons through a mirror, drag her to his lair beneath the Paris opera house, write her a weird sexual opera, threaten her bosses, drop a chandelier, and murder a bunch of people instead of going to therapy.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. They’re trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months I’ve thought “wow, I’ve never seen a campaign do that.” Much more of that needed everywhere.

I am posting a lot about NYT Mamdani thing, but it’s enraging & crushing too. I’ve had bylines in the times, that was meaningful to me yrs ago. But for a hit piece, NYT took hacked information from a gutter racist whom they protected & classed up as “an academic” & that is not OK & never will be.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”
