BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

What lies do people tell, what hypocrisies do they perpetuate: these tell us something about the underlying value structure people reflect, and about the kinds of space and possibility for action you have to help uphold those values if they matter to you

even if she is lying (and we have no reason to think she’s stopped being racist or bigoted or antisemitic), the nature of her lie is notable: it shows us she thinks the permission structure for acceptable public behavior and rhetoric is changing. She’s never been dim, so she’s changing too.
I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.

"Nekrasova has made controversial statements in the past. In a 2023 New Yorker story, she was quoted as saying, “Francis is not the real Pope, we all know it. … You’re not gonna get rid of the Freemasons. You’re not gonna get rid of the Jews. They infiltrated the Church a long time ago.”"

"This doesn't justify lawbreaking!!!!" is a fun ethical call from someone whose sole contribution to actual journalism in this country involved illegally buying a gun
It's okay, Heather isn't just mad about a woman emailing a man's wife (??), no, what really riles her up is judges taking into account childhood trauma when sentencing (???).

The amount of AI used for necromancy is unsettling. There's worse use cases, like decisions over who gets to keep living, but there's something especially ominous about AI companies marketing products that essentially let people create undying simulacra of their loved ones, subscription implied.

![NZME – through [their lawyer, Bella] Ieremia – has been seeking details of suppression orders since December 2024.
Once the HDCA charge was dropped, NZME used Robert Stewart, KC to oppose the suppression orders – a cause that was also backed by the Crown and the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA).
At a hearing on Tuesday, NZME – through Stewart – was successful in having some suppressions lifted, allowing the NZ Herald to break the story.
The court decision also cleared the way for the IPCA to release its report.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lgml52yrvubhgaqt36ctirxd/bafkreibdjpfnxu35fch7lq7crl3vcuhswrkl22jlrfcfs3t472eoqx3tpi@jpeg)

It is regular as clockwork, you can almost set your watch to it, and is part of why so many women are loath to speak up and out about such things, because they rightly know the worst parts of their lives will be dissected & demeaned in order to discredit them.

It is worth noting that this is a pattern amongst the likes of media, who inevitably paint a woman who has laid harassment, assault, rape, etc allegations against men as somehow less than pure & innocent, thus casting aspersions on her validity, with whatever denials that this is what they're doing.
It bears remembering that this woman, according to the IPCA report, sent at least 36 emails to media outlets, presumaby including NZME, as well as the PM, Police Minister, and police command in Dec 2023 & Jan 2024, and they did fuck-all about it too

So it turns out the woman with whom Jevon McSkimming had an affair, whose warnings police ignored and who police charged instead of investigating McSkimmin
