I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

The entire American ruling class needs to be cancelled.
capping a week of stories about elite depravity with a story about a journalist who broke basically every possible ethical rule (and was rewarded for it) to elevate an unqualified wealthy failson who is trying to destroy american public health is, well, it's a lot, tbh

I don't know I would credit them, they probably had a long debate over making it baby FDR and then came to the realization that too many of their readers would genuinely desire that

Democrats who listen to his motherfucker at all are devoted to making sure the party keeps losing so they can hold onto their precious sinecure. Maybe they're just too stupid to know better, and that's the same thing.
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

Bad headline aside, this is a pretty damning portrait of an institution decisively abandoning any real pretense to be a quasi-scholarly outfit in favor of manufacturing whatever slop power demands this week, like a ChatGPT made of meat.
Calling this a "gaffe" is the #BrokenTimes' way to dismiss and forgive the right-wing defense of a white supremacist. Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism.

Disappeared? People talking like this about social fucking media? Touch grass is cliche but I'm guessing some people need more than a 72 hour break for their own well being. There are people in this country actually being disappeared every day.

This is a horseshit argument for continuing to run white male mediocrities in elections. It’s an excuse to fail at leadership.
In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.

Allow me to freestyle off the New York Times' piece on Olivia Nuzzi and RFK Jr.:
"She loved the way the gargle of his voice echoed off the shelf where she keeps her matcha grinder and jars of room-temperature raw milk. She felt, at times, 'his worm spoke' to her. She enjoyed their dysentery."

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

Olivia Nuzzi got sent in to do a profile but it turned out she wanted to fuck the subject so we sent in Jacob Bernstein to profile her and it turns out he also wants to fuck the subject
