UPDATE: Now that 8 Senate Dems folded to Trump—Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds.

What? Moving goal posts? Lucy and the football? Who Could Have Seen This Coming??

This is why you don't back down from a bully! My God! My kingdom for a spine for Democrats.

Gaetz is a scumbag rapist. But, it OK, folks, just a fluke. I'm sure Trump thoroughly vetted his OTHER nominees and they're all of sterling character and fully qualified for the position and not at all scumbags rapists

You know, like Republican voters did with their presidential nominee

Silicon Valley is like: "How about we make search engines useless and replace them with a cutely named robot who makes stuff up? And also creates more pollution to accelerate global warming?"

This is alarming.

A reminder that Craig R Brittain is a racist misogynist that ran a revenge porn site. He blackmailed women to pay to remove their images and videos.

And of course racism and misogyny often go hand in hand.

Imagine how awful you have to be to be banned by Elon.

The leopards are eating faces once again. It's a serious problem, globally, that voters are more impressed by cosplay than by policy. A functioning news media would help address this, but race-to-the-bottom economics has us all chasing clicks instead of reporting what matters.

The teacher in me doesn't like this, because we learn from dissecting badly-formed opinions. But I'm afraid she's right. We're living in an age that rewards good and bad attention equally: it only matters THAT people click, not WHY they click.
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Tell us what's in the report without telling us what's in the report.
“Further pressed by reporters, House Speaker Mike Johnson lashed out angrily. ‘Why are you so intent on publicizing lurid accounts of underaged girls being sexually traumatized?’ he shouted. ‘Are you some kind of pedophile who gets off on that stuff? No normal person should want to read this.’”
