Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

If we don’t get out of this, the tragedy won’t be that evil people managed to end the America experiment. It will be that such unimaginably stupid evil people managed to end the American experiment.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

Fun new enshittification: Just got a citation from a private parking lot company -- the $25 fee I definitely paid, plus a $50 fine.
The problem: It was a QR code system where they remember your info when you scan. Except we got new plates. They still had the old plates on file. Too bad, human!

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.
