My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Holding stories like this is a longstanding practice and also completely antithetical to the entire purpose of journalism. RIP Gawker.
🟡 NEW: The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops.

“In conclusion, CBS is a land of contrasts.”

Mamdani‘s been mayor for a day. Already I have a terrible headache, my apartment is a mess, my kids are estranged from me, and I feel increasingly alienated from a cold and unfeeling society that doesn’t recognize how right I am about everything. I told you so.
