Josh barro? Isn’t that popehat’s boy?
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

I watche Marimar Martinez’s testimony and aside from all the obvious we need an investigation into the hospital that released her with 7 bullet holes bleeding through her bandages

All lawyers are bastards (laudatory in this case)
On top of everything else, here is Marimar Martinez's defense attorney explaining how to delete a tweet, after a prosecutor last week said he assumed there was a way to do it but wasn't sure:

What Epstein and his friends were up to was widely accepted behavior. That’s why they went to a private island to do it and lied about it for decades

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Sorry but if your example of something being normal and accepted is a guy being arrested for it I think you need to take your argument back to the drawing board

Thousands of people have protested in subzero weather. Have they considered what it will look like when it’s a balmy 65 degrees?
Yes. Yes! Thank you

Detainees who talk to the media say they’re flown hither and yon, transferred from one camp to another, to another etc. That’s obviously a money grab, right? Like they’re showing cells occupied so the private concentration camp owners can collect , yes?

I sucked it up and voted for Harris. It felt bad and was pointless. Give me someone acceptable to vote for or fuck off
I think the 2016 and 2024 elections showed that leftists have a lot to learn about just sucking it up and choosing the better option and liberals have a lot to learn about listening to the people to their left who say “everything is not perfect.”
Yeah, like these nitwits still haven’t figured out the way to avoid being here is not to spend 18 months poisoning the well against the one option to prevent fascism.

Now that we are here, yes, maybe start listening to us since that was too much to ask before, and you fucked up.

The big tech founder whose 417-foot, $500 million superyacht needs a 256-foot, $75 million superyacht to "shadow" it -- because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad -- had to cut his paper's newsroom almost in half, for reasons
NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.

Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."
