I understand your point, except that this author is arguing that we shouldn't pay attention to a matter of public interest in which he's has some connection. I wouldn't be concerned about Brooks and Epstein if he hadn't penned a piece telling us all not worry about it. Now it seems like a conflict.

Would respond to this post defending David Brooks but Sanchez has turned off replies. To repeat: the issue is that Brooks was part of a tiny, exclusive, secretive "Billionaires' Dinner" sponsored by Epstein, then wrote a op-ed dismissing the idea of an "Epstein class" without disclosing that tie. 1/
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. No newspaper on the planet would consider “attended the same dinner event 15 years ago” as a “conflict” requiring disclosure. I could not even recall the names of 99% of the people who were at all the conferences & dinners I’ve been to over that timespan.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social in America they used to refer to overly strict, almost authoritarian, schools as military schools where the “bad” kids were sent by their parents.

To be clear, and as I highlighted in the image, this is focused on “foreign-controlled corporations.”
On that front, though, this is not my thing. I defer to the experts/journalists who deal with trade to discuss why they’re doing this now and what they hope to get out of it.

Among its provisions, though, is one that I haven’t seen before. (It could be in other orders, but I’ve not seen it.) It involves briefing only the majority party in Congress.

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

These are only "contradictions" when one believes that everyone is equal. It's not contradictory when the Marie Antoinettes of our society believe that what is for me is not for thee.

There's a lot wrong with Julia Black's article, which treats Katherine Boyle's statements on 'memetic warfare' as though they're original (they're Thiel lines from 2015). And she doesn't disclose her affiliation with another Silicon Valley magnate: she's reporter-in-residence at the Omidyar Network.

The only thing anyone needs to know about Bari Weiss is that she first came to national attention trying to get a Middle East Studies professor at Columbia fired for anti-Israel views, and yet somehow huge amounts of the US media elite think she is committed to "free speech" and "heterodoxy."

Trump could have entered office, engaged in some corruption, let the GOP cut taxes for him, and played golf for four years, and left in 2029 a rich man.
But instead he put Stephen Miller in charge. And Stephen Miller doesn't want to be rich. Stephen Miller wants to do fascism.

Although Kennedy said “democracy” was not guaranteed to survive, what he meant was “decorum”
He has no problem with democratic collapse. He just wishes people weren’t so rude about it.

We need to break up Nexstar and Sinclair. In fact, when we get control of the FCC again, we should create a rule that no single company can own TV transmitters in two regions more than 150 miles apart.

There was (to contemporary sensibilities) a shocking amount of racism and sexism, and racist and sexist humor, in the movies that Gen X watched as kids and young adults. So the shift away from that (going "woke") feels more like a personal critique to Gen X than it does to Boomers. 2/
