Let's see if I have any thing to add here...
Pretty emblematic of the shoddy, propagandist "journalism" we'd expect from Mr. Bezos' pet media property. Funny, the difference between marketing and actual journalism. Not worth any of our time or attention.

I'm sure the sentiment is expressed here elsewhere, but Mr. CEO is merely calculating how best to serve his shareholders. Actual advances in Pharma are only one of the instruments to achieve this. Whatever tool is available, folks. Pretending to care about public health is a much lower priority.

Isn't it funny how these people, because there are more than four of them, are rarely ever called out by name (or collectively) by the national media? There should be a list EVERYDAY above the fold of the NYTimes front page with names and districts. They should not be shielded from shame.

Would love to hear RFK Jr confronted with a direct question about his views on eugenics. Just to see him either squirm or outright lie about it.

Well, we know he'll do anything to avoid the consequences of Epstein association. And HE knows what he's done. It's just s shame that red-state congressmembers are so cravenly irresponsible to their duties. And voters too distracted and/or amused to do anything about it. Dumbest country ever.

Nativist PR of a failing business trying to focus on markets lower down the food chain. What is CBS anyway? Linear broadcast TV is the realm of the lowest segment of aging boomers. Clutch pearls here, but who really cares beyond the execs trying to wring out some shareholder value via pharma ads.

In 2026, help the folks making such a willful mess of justice and democracy see the error of their ways. But do this in such a way that they feel so fucking guilty that they all kill themselves. And make sure it's messy and painful for them. And live-streamed for the rest of us.

Wow, how far our basic standards of respectful discourse have slipped! I mean, there are better people out there to do all these jobs— not just the prez. What is it about America that gravitates toward both the mediocre and vulgar? How deeply embarrassing for everyone.

Hooray for Ben Rhodes! Citizens United keeps on fucking democracy. Seems you need to let your candidates know that if they accept AIPAC money, they won't be getting your vote. If aged Dem leaders can't hear their voters, they should retire already! It's not 1993. There is no more normal.

Is the answer you're looking for here 🎶"Doo-dah, Doo-dah"🎶 ?

This pretty much what I’d expect from anything associated with Musk. Grok is another poor attempt to create “established” sources for lies and propaganda. Who takes this seriously? I wouldn’t trust instructions to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from it. What a joke.

Okay, stultifying frustration and anger aside, perhaps this will be the last straw that brings about positive change in Dem's leadership. A whole mess of folks need to accept the fact of mortality, retire, and give some new minds the chance to fuck up.

Fermenting and bottling hard cider. Reading Dickens. Wishing the wind would die down so I could go for a good bicycle ride.

So the optics of our politics have surpassed legality here--again. Until congress holds him to account, he's nothing more than an accessory to murder for his boss. Pretty plain and simple. I guess when you're famous you really CAN do so much more than grab 'em by the pussy.

Speaker Johnson's delusional smugness showcases all that I find abhorrent in that kind of political "leadership". Let's watch this space and also watch our backs. He's as trustworthy as any run-of-the-mill confidence man. His only consistent personal characteristic seems to be hypocrisy.
