Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Bari Weiss' reporting experience is summed up by the time the NYT bizarrely gave her the cushiest possible assignment - go to Australia and hang out and write about it - and she produced a story so bad and so wrong about basic facts of Australian life that it became a running joke there.

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!
My kids go to a "rich" public school. My daughter is 7 and cannot read; she is a sweet, caring, intelligent child, but if you spend a moment with her it is clear that she has ADHD an order of magnitude more serious than what you think of when you hear "ADHD." Anybody questioning her IEP can fuck off
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

Most folks' emotional reactions to AI (whether reasonable or accurate) are not about recommendation algorithms or ML models being used in weather prediction, and folks who conflate those sound like they are trying to force the numbers

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Geoscience needs to lean harder into the Lovecraftian.

An ever-changing, self consuming world dominated by unimaginably long cycles culminating in pulses of flood basalts or punctuated by collision with massive rocks from space that nearly wipe out all life....

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Only legislators can do the job. They're who we empower to structure our criminal justice system.

It's simple: “Criminal verdicts shall be reached by human jurors, unassisted by artificial intelligence."

The time to decree this is now, before we’re seduced by the lure of the next release.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Yes. It gets to Marshall's quip about this being a constitution they are expounding. So much of what the Roberts Court is doing is a legal language game untethered from the aim, purpose and structure of the Constitution.

Whenever someone running a news org talks about representing "all... perspectives" or throws around phrases like "diversity of opinion," ask if they regularly hire and include the viewpoints of abolitionists and socialists.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

These stealth aircraft are absurdly expensive to use and maintain by the way. If they’ve really brought them in for counter-narcotics, it is a huge stupid waste of resources.
One of the few remaining serious journalists at Fox News asks a very good question about reports that Hegseth just had 10 *stealth fighters* deployed to Puerto Rico allegedly for "counter-narcotics."
