Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean.
Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone."
Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become.
Perception of reality is now random and optional.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

MTG is trash. She is beyond vile and has done so much damage for the past 5 years.
Leave it to mainstream media, establishment hacks, and "moderate" liberals to embrace and elevate her.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself
