Bezos has the resources to make WaPo into the BEST sports outlet and BEST science outlet and BEST place to get trusted news without feeling any sort of negative financial impact but is happy to turn it into Quillette because he’s lost whatever creative spark he had and turned into a vapid dullard
Video call: WaPo Executive Editor Matt Murray says the paper plans to lay off hundreds of staff, cutting into its local, international, and sports coverage (New York Times)

The shocking thing about Epstein isn't just the fact somebody doing that sort of thing existed and was a... uh, provider to high-end rich people. It's the sheer scale of it and how much of the core big name most powerful elites were in on it w/ this one guy. Including not one but two presidents!

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

It's wild to me that, even before all this, we had on record Bannon saying something along the lines of "we're going to use gamergate to turn kids into Nazis" and barely anyone flinched

Everyone doing Opsec Discourse should read this book and realize that the radical underground movements of the 1960s and 70s should not serve as role models for 2020s activism, no matter how cool and badass they appear in hindsight.

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

You should be ashamed of yourself if you’re still defending Noam Chomsky in 2026. Discard him in the regrettable dustbin of history where he belongs.

Epstein invited Thiel to have dinner with Chomsky.
You got to hand it to old Noam, buddying up with two billionaires while playing a tankie revolutionary in public.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

For too long the media has lost trust with the average American, we’ve prioritized the voices of elites at the expense of the working man. So please, once again, we must support this weird Epstein files freak I hired.

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports.
