NEW inside CBS—

Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off.

“If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.
‘What the F**k?’ CBS News Insiders Prepare for Takeover by Self-Described ‘Zionist Fanatic’
Bari Weiss is expected to be announced as editor-in-chief of CBS News, as employees worry her new role will bring a pro-Israel bias, more censorship, and lower editorial standards.

look, it is comforting to think that your political opponents are, at the end of the day, just people like you who really want us all to live together as Americans.

it's just very obviously not *true* in MAGA's case, as you can tell through, well, what they say and do.

I love clippers fandom. So much fun 10/10.
NEW: The Clippers have won three playoff series with Kawhi Leonard. They've also faced a string of lawsuits, fines and investigations -- now leading to owner Steve Ballmer. "At some point," one ex-staffer says, "Steve has got to get out of the Kawhi business." www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

One of the ways I got into tv and movie criticism was reading Alan’s recaps of The Wire. Sad to see another amazing writer lose their job.
Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

This feels like an example that could have been lifted right out of Khalil Muhammad's Condemnation of Blackness.

Non-white criminality is framed as the predictable result of some sort of collective social pathology, while white violence is the result of some private mental failing.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

you don’t have to have a take on everything but i will say for the record that gavin newsom’s “continue his work” post is one of the more disgusting things i have ever seen considering that the dead man in question wanted at least ~2.8 million americans eradicated & believed empathy was a sin.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.
