For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Frankenstein is one of the worst movies I’ve seen this year? Have seen Elordi give several absurdly bad performances now, but I think Wuthering Heights will suit him

It's strange to be struggling financially at this point in my life when I was doing just fine pre-COVID. Now I have two jobs and hate them both and can barely afford to live, though that's going out the window, too, with Nelnet breathing down my neck for student loans again

I understand why Stereogum went subscriber only (or mostly), but it feels bad to be paywalled out of a community I've been taking part in for 15+ years. I've paid money to them in the past but am not in a place to pay out another $50 for a publication.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy"

So an a16z-backed startup called Doublespeed promises clients can “orchestrate actions on thousands of social accounts through both bulk content creation and deployment.”

It's basically a spam operation then

seems like the Dem establishment does not think that where there's smoke, there's fire. they do not think that where there is fire, there's fire. but I'm sure they will stand on the charred rubble and say, "now what do we do about this fire?"

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.

Imagine if Taylor Lorenz spent time infiltrating and writing about dangerous far right spaces online rather than leeching off private Facebook groups and misconstruing information about liberal organizations. But then her reporting would actually be relevant, and we wouldn’t want that.

Part of the fun of an anonymous social media account is being cringey and talking at large accounts/publications that 1000% will not listen

@msnbc.com @cnn.com @nytimes.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy

So will you all start talking about how Kirk was a hatemonger and the right was prepped to use the shooter as yet another way to demonize trans people, or are you just gonna continue pretending coverage of this has been fine?

If we thought progressive infighting was bad, at least we’re not assassinating each other on campus! Always nice for conservatives to show us just how much worse it could be

It feels "normal" living in it, but, man, the US must look like a total shit show from the outside right now. Like, even worse than 4 months ago, somehow.
