It's even worse than this. The subhed will leave the casual reader with the vague impression that he actually has a legitimate claim to it.

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Headline: Trump Has His Eyes on Nobel Prize. Will He Get It?

Classic example of overhyping the moment: Cam Skattebo and Scott van Pelt gushing after tonight's game like the Giants are 4-2 when they're actually 2-4 and last in the NFC East standings.

2/ Good lord, people. All those people saying, “But how can we trust him??” Whah!!! Have some self respect. When someone makes a threat and then says never mind a couple days later that’s a fail. Doesn’t matter what else happens. Did Trump issue an EO that ever has to have their head up their ass?

I really don't want to punch down, particularly at [in some cases] literal teenagers, but THESE are the images the tory paper chose to represent "young tories"?? this is who they wanted to represent the party?

we got inspector sexpest, the riddler's corporate cousin, and tesco Stephen Miller

Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future

The Conservatives know they have a problem with Gen Z voters. At the party conference, The Times met a new breed of activists who are embracing the challenge

And its weird how the senator who once pulled a shotgun on an innocent Black man appears totally oblivious to the suffering of Black and Brown people in America under the Trump regime.

Ro Khanna will go anywhere if they let him bash his own party during his appearance.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 11h

Um holy shit. Did Ro Khanna really sit down for an interview with far-right influencer Ian Carroll and share a video of it?

This is really fucking bad. What the fuck is going on?

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

As if you needed more proof this guy has lost his fucking mind.

Trump is murdering people in international waters and sending the National Guard from Red States into Portland and Chicago to assist his ICE thugs in their quest to brutalize women, children and clergy.
