Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

the best possible remake of Rogue One would be a third season of Andor which is just Rogue One
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

one thing that's really interesting about this is that the stated motivation for a lot of this stuff is fighting antisemitism, and then they mention Dana Loesch, a vocal antisemite.

No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it

i think you get the right to call some of your detractors mentally ill after a guy who was banned from another website for threatening your life kills two people
They're not false. You very consistently call the people you disagree mentally ill, and worse. What do you think the "correct" reaction is supposed to be when many of these people are trans, or Black? Why do you think you are entitled to indulge in this behavior?

the takeaway is that the entire media was so delighted at a lie by a serial fabulist who fucked her way through all of her sources and editors to get where she was that they ignored anything even vaguely revealing a public responsibility

what the Supreme Court might say, more or less, is that the Reconstruction amendments permit racial discrimination but forbid remedial action. this is Roberts' and Kavanaugh's actual, unambiguous position on the isuse.
*I am not a lawyer*
I think finding a way to keep TX is possible or even likely, I think tossing out CA is a much heavier lift for a couple of reasons, chief among them it being unambiguously popular with voters and having to argue that it's a racial gerrymander not a partisan one

In fact, I’m preparing myself for SCOTUS to contort itself into whatever shape allows them to keep the TX map while striking down the CA map.

right, precisely. i'm the ox you can't gore. there are things which i would be upset if you did but none of them are absolutely core to my identity, whereas Black people are dealing with problems such as "will there be any Black people in Congress once Roberts is done destroying Reconstruction."
it is honestly somewhat bizarre to be in a place where politics is obviously dominated by issues of identity, including people who claim to be speaking for identities I have, and being sincerely unable to think of a policy that I want as a "man" or a "white person"

AOC has been playing inside ball to climb the national dem party for years and this is why a lot of NY DSA now hates her; Mamdani barely just won over the NY machine, he has good reasons to not immediately start fights with the state party before he is even in power and has his people staffed.
AOC and Mamdani, arguably the two most prominent members of the DSA, allegedly choosing not to back Ossé in his potential primary run against Jeffries is certainly an interesting choice in the face of the NYC-DSA's reputation of being anti-Black

AOC's been pursuing an insider approach to gaining power (and one pretty divorced from NYC-DSA) pretty exclusively so this honestly isn't that surprising to me.
She wants to gives Jeffries a chance as Speaker instead of starting a fight immediately. Time will tell if that was wise.

Actual authoritarianism requires expansions of the administrative state I cry, once again ignored.
I mean yeah. But also you need lots of lawyers to do what DOJ needs to do and firing all of them without replacement means you can't do anything.
Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.
