i worked at the NYT and one of the grossest tricks they pull is convincing people to take mediocre compensation in exchange for "the mission", pretending they're a smol bean non-profit like propublica or something and not a publicly traded entity controlled by one dynastic family
“My hopes for a natural delivery were shattered all for six YouTube videos at $800 each. None of those shots aired. I was never informed [by the New York Times] why, but can only assume that it would have been a bad look to open the episodes with a sweaty, heavily pregnant woman about to pass out.”

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

aMeta lready sells VR headsets and Ray-Ban smart glasses, but these new glasses sound a bit different. Their format factor would reportedly be similar to the Apple Vision Pro, with a puck-like power source.

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Pete Hegseth’s insertion of the world “kinetic” into every murderous boast—as if lesser men do non-kinetic missile strikes—irks me more than any verbal tic since cheese sellers discovered “artisanal.”

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

Once you’ve hit a point where your understanding of the economy doesn’t account for how the average person might experience housing, healthcare and food costs skyrocketing, you have educated yourself into being a fucking moron. It really is that simple
