Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration."
I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

the clearest proof Jackie Robinson was one of the most consequential people in history is that nearly a century after he started playing baseball, cowards are still working tirelessly to shut him up
The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

In all seriousness: the last 2 weeks of TikTok posturing and Zuck grovelling, combined with the X insanity of the last year, should show you that an app with a feed that you don’t control serves *other people’s interests* - not yours.

Once again, we need anti-SLAPP laws in every state and a federal anti-SLAPP law. You shouldn't be able to sue a publisher because you disagree with the framing of their accurate story.

An expression of corporate ideology is how they keep remaking the literally perfect Chuck Jones version of THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS to "update" and "modernize" it instead of trying to make any new children's entertainment in the same style as the extremely successful original.

Dunks are the time-killer
Dunks are the little stress that bring on social alienation
I will ignore bad takes
I will allow them to pass, or block them
And when they are off my feed I will read things that matter
And where the takes have gone there will be nothing
Only I will remain

Yep, I'm here to protect my peace. I will not fight random people on the internet.
I know temptation and old habits call us, but remember friends: when an anon rando with no platform has a weird bad take
You can just block them
I know, the optimists amongst us think that surely a person wearing the trappings of reason can be reasoned with
Don't do it
Be free

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

What’s happened is that the social media consensus changed, in large part because liberals assumed public opinion is an expression of first principles and not merely a reflection of what people are hearing from their social and parasocial networks, and never bothered to actually promote their ideas

LW and her parents are one of three families whose challenge against TN's ban will be heard at SCOTUS on December 4. What Casey says is true--she's a badass and I'm so thankful for her family's fight on behalf of thousands of teens like her.
This is LW. She is crazy smart. She designs her own board games, writes music, deejays. She is learning to fly. She and her family appealed Tennessee’s ban on gender affirming care to the Supreme Court, and next month she will fight for trans kids’ nationwide. Did I mention she is 16?

Can’t overstate how dangerous it is that vaccine denial has completely captured one of the two major parties. We’re an election or two from unraveling one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The potential long tail damage is millions of preventable deaths. Just absolutely bonkers.

It’s so weird that the Klan can clearly hear what Trump and Vance are saying while so much of the corporate media somehow can’t.
Wonder if the NYT or WaPo will cover this kind of shit. There's a direct line between Trump and Vance talking about Haitians and the fact that they're now being specifically targeted by the Klan and mentioned alongside Springfield.
