The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

@thirdwindowfilms.com Love Third Window, and I’m accumulating quite a a pile of them, but the lack of a resume function drives us crazy as we almost always split a movie over two nights. I gather BD-J is the reason, and wondering if there’s any plans to change that going forward?

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

@dankmccoy.bsky.social Walked into the kitchen, and my wife was watching On Becoming a Guinea Fowl. I looked it up on Letterboxd, and mentioned “Dan McCoy has it marked as *want to watch*”, which elicited an “oh wow!” Siskel & Ebert eat your hearts out!

Social media platforms are no more a "public square" than the inside of a grocery store. These are products offered by companies. Robust moderation is the prerogative of any private entity.
Most media companies are happy to purvey propaganda. But they are under no obligation to do so.

Really hope we can dispense once and for all with the notion that Trump voters are suffering, misguided, and misunderstood when they’re being so vocally and insistently like “we want ethnic cleansing.”
I've seen a lot of one-offs of people holding these signs, but what is truly chilling is a sea of these being held up by delegates.

I cannot emphasize enough - we have a global pathway to net zero. That pathway burns to cinders the moment we accept powering “AI” as an acceptable use of energy. Climate action is wholly incompatible with expansion of “AI”
