members of the press I follow on Instagram are giving room tours of their Trump Vegas hotel room, even including complimentary Trump branded water bottles. Why are news orgs like CNN, participating in enriching the president they’re covering? 🤔

we're increasingly reliant on right wing-y algorithms to see the content we want to. I started a substack and for my first post, I begin to lay out my argument for why owned channels will be crucial in this new age of social media: open.substack.com/pub/jakebull...

This weekend I was looking up first person TikToks in a specific cultural niche for research for a book proposal I’m working on and realizing that it all might be inaccessible in a week feels like a burning of the library of Alexandria for early 2020s culture

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."
