chasing "balance" in news can sound like it's noble but it's not. treating all possible sources as comparably expert, rational, experienced, insightful, relevant, disadvantaged or empowered does not result in objective, accurate reporting. it results in false equivalency.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

this is disturbing, but i’m enjoying thinking about a reverse situation where a Christian gets elected in a majority Muslim country and a bigoted legislator smears him by calling him “little Jesus”
Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

pretending that tariffs and immigration are about preventing opioid drug overdoses and then pulling narcan distribution is about as unforgivably evil as it gets
RFK Jr. is ending the federal Narcan distribution program credited with the recent steep decline in overdose deaths. This despite his own past heroin addiction and his own brother dying of a drug overdose in 1984.
RFK Jr. to End 'Godsend' Narcan Program That Helped Reduce Overdose Deaths Despite His Past Heroin Addiction
Despite overcoming heroin addiction himself, RFK Jr. is backing plans to cut a critical Narcan program that helped reduce overdose deaths.

ironically the main reason that led me to become anti-american when i was in school was originally due to the needless over the top enforced patriotism taught to us. this will only make people question authority even more
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

If the precedent gets set that the president can remove nonprofit status from anyone he disagrees with, then any Democratic president in the future that allows the ADF and heritage and megachurches to be considered nonprofits is explicitly endorsing them.

These ghouls learned the term “virtue signaling” in 2020 and have never missed an opportunity to misuse it since. Nor do they seem to realize when they’re implying that the thing they oppose is (at least ostensibly) virtuous.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
