Bari Weiss is a particular type of character that can get too far in the good ol’ USA: the moderately clever sociopath who thinks they can bullshit their way through anything with wordy excuses. When reality crashes in on such a mediocre person, they have nowhere to go but self-victimization.
New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff—

“…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”

“Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit!

I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!
Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

It must be read:

A Trump-appointed judge was so upset with the living conditions in which ICE detained an immigrant in Long Island, New York, that he threatened to hold the government in contempt.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Something that they don't tell you when you buy is a house is that the company and/or website handling your mortgage will change 8 times in 7 years. I just want to pay my mortgage and it's like pulling teeth.

Thought I'd check in on chatgpt and see if it had gotten any better at game history research. It hallucinated an unreleased "Wizards and Warriors IV" project for NES and when I asked what the source was it made up a tweet by...me.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.
