I did not get this job
Awww you’re all sad bc you might (probably) won’t get this job?
Sure but you see I have created an elaborate web of self worth around this job that is load bearing. I’ve completely allowed my sense of self to become subservient to this outcome.
It’s not great!

ICE is hiring 10,000 more agents next year btw. If Dems don't remove it from the budget and get promises against recision by 1/31 that is.

Zaslav using Discovery to buy Warner Brothers with debt, gut it, and flip it to Netflix is like… a Sbarro manager buying The French Laundry with a payday loan, firing the chefs for tax write-offs, microwaving the food and then selling it to The Cheesecake Factory because “scale.”

Think an understated part of this viewpoint is that Avatar is merely ok, but was the highest grossing movie of all time.
And The Way of Water is a stone cold 10/10 masterpiece but has been completely forgotten (despite making tons of $$).

The thing I never quite get from these freaks is what comes next. So they want all races and ethnicities back to their own countries (whatever that means) and then what? Are you just gonna be chill with minorities then? Or are you gonna try to do colonialism part 2? What comes next??
It’s not “nationalism” in any American sense, loyal to the Constitution or values it embodies. It’s a white internationale intent on drawing a cordon blanc, you might say — and coldly willing to place democratic multiracial societies with long ties of loyalty to the U.S. outside of it.
I mean this is straight up white supremacy:

This has to be in the top ten most important things ever said about left-side political movements. YIMBY/Abundance advocates have genuinely aspired to power and to victory in California. Many of our opponents have aspired mostly to be our critics.

Did we ever get any follow up reporting on the pretty bombastic claim that the president secretly had parkinsons & was hiding it from the nation (but wasnt secret enough to hide the parkinsons doctor visit)? Ofc we didnt, bc the news orgs pushing it got what they wanted w Biden bowing out.

Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign
The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump
Both taken this weekend:

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

This would completely swallow the rule, though. A lot of these guys need to ask themselves if they’d also obey Yoon’s late 2024 order to massacre the legislature, if he made sure to attach a legal opinion saying it was lawful.
Law prof Josh Braver notes the problem of 'manifestly unlawful' when the civilian legal authorities *say* it's lawful -- and thinks least bad outcome is the military maintains civilian supremacy even if acting illegally. Many (most?) civ-mil relatios scholars agree.

this headline, and much of the reporting, is the result of believing that the key to good journalism is never taking a position
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Four minutes added on erases any good will. That is only a number a lunatic arrives at.
Genuinely think Anthony Taylor did about as well as you can ask a referee to do with a game like that. Very physical game & almost no calm, settled possession
And he'll be under massive pressure every time Zubi, Hincapie, Cala or Mosquera put in any challenge now.
Going to be very hard to navigate.
