Ok, the Nuzzi thing is...actually pretty important?
It codifies a lot of how our media has worked for the last few decades--which is to say, in an exculpatory role. If the writer affects the correct tone, they are exculpated for their entwinement with the mechanisms of power. 1/2

Trump Speech is endlessly fascinating to me — when you hear audio of him you can sort of parse what he's saying, follow along with his cadence, but when you transcribe the actual words it's this unintelligible goop. It's like trying to drink the cold Pepsi syrup out of the back of the machine

“Advertising is the graffiti of the rich” is gonna stay with me
Once upon a time, the ever-evolving graffiti on this reservoir near the psych unit was a cave-painting-record. I photographed much of it over months.
One day they painted it grey. The next day:

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Israel getting U.S. cooperation on genocide and then throwing the U.S. under the bus for responsibility would be funny if it weren’t for all the thousands of murdered innocents
Honestly it's more than a little frustrating that a prominent Israeli politician just told one of the most hawkish Israeli media publications that the United States dictates Isrseli strikes in an ongoing genocide and it is getting absolutely zero attention.
Avigdor Liberman is a member of the Knesset, by the way.
This has always been OUR genocide. Israel doesn't control us and never has. We control Israel.

The fact the new iPad iteration of the MangaPlus app can’t display all of Sunday’s titles is somehow both shocking and deeply unsurprising.
What I want to know is, did Shuiesha test and didn’t care, or did they not even bother to test?
