Deleted a post about a tweet that appeared to be from misogyny influencer Andrew Tate because some are saying it’s fake. Not taking a chance. Tate’s still the worst, but right behind him are fools who undermine antifascism with fake crap that permits fascists to say they’ve been lied about.

Not crazy about the “who goes Nazi” game but for those who might fold down the line keep an eye on those for whom fascism evidently isn’t bad enough so they resort to distortion & outright disinfo. What about fascism isn’t ugly enough for them?

I think the people wondering how the Nuzzis & the Lizzas of the world get so famous are maybe making more discriminating choices. But fact is, more people prefer such ego bombs than the many, many excellent journalists w/out white mustangs or tell-all bamboo metaphors.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

I predict a James Frey scenario. She’ll lose the Vanity Fair job but recast herself as a novelist, win even bigger advances & publicity budgets, & within ten years achieve literary world celebrity & another NYT profile. I think Balzac already wrote the whole script.

Let's hope Mamdani turns out to be a lot better than AMLO, as I believe he will be, but that's a good analogy too-quickly forgotten.
Actually reminds me of when he met AMLO in his first term.

Ok, I read it (thanks, @marisakabas.bsky.social). What matters here are allegations of catch-&-kill. This is like fat jokes about Trump. It's not his weight that's the problem, it's the fascism. It's not very ordinary bad behavior of Nuzzi or Lizza that matters, it's the enabling of fascism.
To hell w/ the "love" life of opportunistic courtiers such as Lizza & Nuzzi. But I *do* want to read about how Nuzzi allegedly played catch-&-kill for RFK. I *don't* want to pay to do so. I'm a huge advocate of subscribing, subscribe to ton of publications. Not that. C'mon, somebody, details!
