The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

I again wish to point out that it is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. has unilaterally ended CDC recommendations for many childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

okay so what are you going to do about the Secretaries of State and Defense committing felony perjury before Congress
Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.
President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. had captured the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I was thinking about Mamdani's comments about civility and cruelty when I came across this 1966 column by William F. Buckley excoriating Arnold Forster, General Counsel of the ADL, for refusing to shake the hand of John Rousselot, public relations director of the John Birch Society.

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

It took you 16 paragraphs to mention this YouTuber has a long history of incorrect and inflammatory videos and 18 paragraphs to mention that local news reporting has shown that most of the sites he mentioned are actually operating as daycare centers. That should have been in paragraph 1.

you do not and should not hand it to MTG under any circumstances
it is useful for us, politically, that she's broken with Trump - because "Rs in Disarray" is a good narrative
but she herself is still a vicious antisemite and transphobe and nobody progressive should lose sight of that

Should also add that right before she quit, Marjorie Taylor Greene passed a bill through the House to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She is not a moderate. She is still super right wing. She just felt Trump no longer could accomplish her goals.
“Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong.” Read the inside story of how Marjorie Taylor Greene went from zealous Trump cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic: nyti.ms/3Lbzi88

Others have noted this before, but it's ENRAGING to see corporations and bosses give this bullshit "A.i." trash FAR more leeway for error and general crappiness than they'd ever give any human creator.
I've started to see arguments that we have to get used to AI Slop coding even if it isn't great, because it's fast. Humans could go faster, too, if they're allowed to turn in stuff that only sometimes works. Such a fascinating double standard that will in no way come back to haunt, naw.

He could totally lean into ironically owning a persona that he's a sinister, emotionally detached Machiavel. There's a way to spin that as a kind of ruthless pragmatism. But he can't because he's too insecure, bitter, and whiny about how people have always seen him as a creep and mocked him for it.
I want to stress, also, how when we approached the Trump White House with a lengthy comment request on our findings, the only things they disputed - among the batch of lawless, titanically rancid shit - were a) Stephen miller was NOT regularly made fun of by his former GOP Hill colleagues…
In a profile of Stephen Miller with @swin24.bsky.social, we reported he’s privately laughed off immigrant families’ “sob stories.”

Speaking last night on Fox about the spiked CECOT story, Miller laughed about how ‘60 Minutes’ is “trying to tell sob stories."
