Attia was introduced by Bari Weiss in late January as a new CBS contibutor only to be featured in the Epstein documents tranche released by the DOJ days later.

You can bet your bippy that the whole Epstein thing will soon be moving into its “haven’t these rich and influential people suffered enough already?” stage.

Because it's at least superficially orthogonal to the traditional left-right axis, the wellness hustle provides an entreé to people who ordinarily aren't running in fascist circles in their daily lives otherwise.

I don’t think it will win Best Picture or Best Actor, but I really loved “Train Dreams” and Joel Edgerton is absolutely amazing in it.
Also, love seeing Bryce Dessner, a member of one of my favorite bands (The National), getting a nomination for original song with Nick Cave.

One of the more unfairly maligned political figures of my lifetime. He earned my lifelong respect as a huge presence in Chicago for decades pushing for employment & housing equality, which is almost always ignored in favor of the commentary on his national profile.

It’s amusing to think that Weiss would have ever thought that Cooper would be interested in working for a regime-aligned media outlet being micromanaged by a hack with no experience in network TV. But few people have ever been higher on their own supply.
Anderson Cooper has decided to nope out of '60 Minutes' and will not return next season, according to Breaker's Lachlan Cartwright.

When we kick MAGA out and they become electoral poison (and yes, I'm not a Doom-and-Gloomer. I believe that these things will happen), it's going to be most interesting to witness how the legacy media overlords will account for their servility before der Scheissführer and his minions.

Prices remain steady on most things over the last 30 days. Toggle it to 90 and almost everything spiked 30%

Why is nobody speaking out against the🍊💩s campaign rally at Fort”Bragg”.Telling the cheering(?)troops to vote GOP and having a repug senate candidate up there with him is crossing another line. Our military is not his political tool to wield. They have a duty to Country and Constitution, not Fatass.

Trump is vastly unpopular and trending downwards. Yes, the megalomaniac is trying put his stamp on every goddamn thing he can. But as soon as that morbidly obese, dementia ridden POS drops dead his alleged cult will scatter away like roaches with a flashlight shone on them ... like Limbaugh & Kirk.
