every nyt politics reporter is the guy who says "I'm the most left wing person I know, HOWEVER..."
this is accurate along multiple dimensions
they’re getting dumber and more right wing but they are now smarter and more left wing in comparison to the people they see on twitter all day (stupid nazis) which also leads them to be even more prone to dismissing criticism from the left

twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter

no one uses the phrase “cathedral of liberalism” without being completely gone on yarvin/valley brainworms
Unusual language here in the New York Times’ claim that the Trump administration is trying to “reshape institutions that it views as cathedrals of liberalism.” What is the definition of a “cathedral of liberalism” and what right does Trump have to “reshape” it?

Trump represents the greatest threat to free speech in the history of the United States. But I’ve had so much success financially complaining about woke censorship that I’m going to keep fucking that chicken.

I wanted to know whether Russia truly meddled in the 2016 election to aid Trump. So I asked Grok, and then kept asking Grok again and again because it wouldn't give me the answer I wanted.

The Republican party is full-on fascist. The Democratic party is run by 80-year-olds who are more worried about a few government-run grocery stores in New York than they are about the destruction of our democracy. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Opinion | Braindead MAGA voters flock to Donald Trump to tell them that minorities are inferior and unworthy of their achievements. As a center-right intellectual, I pay Bari Weiss thousands of dollars to tell me the same thing using fancier words.
