Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Theres a big story waiting to be written on how these powerful PR firms plant and kill stories in major publications and how our information environment is not-so-subtly skewed by which people have access to them and which don't
it‘s doing the nyt thing where they publish a glam profile commissioned by a crisis management pr firm with well-known ties to past and present nyt writers

2020 footage said to be in 2025. A scene of protestors in Illinois, suggested as Portland.

We reviewed Fox News coverage and 700+ social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision to send the National Guard to Portland.

Here's how Fox News told a misleading story:
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence wa...

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

She ran as a moderate. Maybe you think that’s good and maybe you think that’s bad. All I am arguing is that the endless takes about how Democrats should pivot to the center should explain why it didn’t work in this election (there are good reasons!) rather than pretending she didn’t.

Remember, kids: If unions weren't an effective counter to the excesses of corporations, they wouldn't spend untold billions trying to stop them from coming into their shops.

I was there this lady (I guess also running in this district) really thought she was doing something and everyone in the room was like “uhhhh…”

She handed Kat a bottle of Trump cologne (???) to wear in jail (?????).

She didn’t think the bit through. Mandatory improv class for all Republicans. 2/10
An unhinged Republican just tried to ambush me with holy water?? Bc I am “demonic” and “possessed”?????

Musk and others on the far right are obsessed with things like Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons because they see fantasy worlds as reinforcing their own beliefs about immutable hierarchies of race, gender, and by extension morality www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Do NOT license your voice to ElevenLabs.

Their highest-paid actor made $30k last year. Sounds a lot, but that’s from 1.2 bn paid uses - $0.000025 per job. ElevenLabs charge 20 cents per 1,000 words. So they’re making at least 8,000 times what their artists are.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.
