I think everyone in the shoe throwing incident was very impressive. Al-Zaidi for getting both shoes off and airborne in under five seconds, Bush solid reflexes with his dodges and al-Maliki didn't get rattled, showed a lot of poise in the pocket
Do younger people know about the Bush shoe incident?
It's a disgrace to American journalism that no American reporter has tried to bean one of our presidents with a shoe.

I guess today I'm thankful for an extended family who spent a chunk of Thanksgiving dinner trading stories about the No Kings protests we all went to last month.

"Jimmy Olsen is Transfemme" would both be a bit of a over the top corporate attempt to grab woke headlines cynically, that would also 100% have canon to retroactively justify it

At this point the media wants GOP for two reasons: monetary and revenge.
The GOP are fuck ups. No way Biden or Harris would doing the various insane shit that Trump is doing.
And honestly the media hates liberals who can call them out so they see the GOP as our "karmatic retribution"

Now do y'all understand my absolute incandescent rage at "journalists" who respond with "I'm not going to do Free PR for Democrats!!!11!!!"?
Republicans get anyone and everyone in the media to line up to do their dirty work for them. Democrats can't get that.

the takeaway is that the entire media was so delighted at a lie by a serial fabulist who fucked her way through all of her sources and editors to get where she was that they ignored anything even vaguely revealing a public responsibility
i'm just hung up on "the entire media let itself get dogwalked into stabbing Democracy to death by a lady who was just doing it because she was hung up on RFK Jr.'s piss and breeding kinks", it's genuinely unbelievable to me
if she were an actual agent of an enemy polity i think i'd hate it less

I still find it incredibly funny how a former liberal arts professor who writes for the atlantic and does a podcast is considered a (white) working class whisperer because he wears a camo hat on his twitter pfp
A racist TV show made with the assistance of Sora has attracted millions of viewers. Tyler Austin Harper argues that it could be “the harbinger of a new entertainment landscape where extremist AI shows will jockey for our attention with more anodyne ones”:
The Will Stancil Show Could Be the Future
A racist TV series making fun of a minor social-media celebrity has attracted millions of viewers—and demonstrates the alarming possibilities of AI.

I love the people I've seen reposting this story with shit like "wow things must be really bad with Trump if the NYT got to this point with him faster than they did with the king of decrepit presidents, Joe Biden (a pox upon his house)". Like have you ever considered just shutting the fuck up?
Joe Biden should have seized the Times under asset forfeiture

Extremely funny to see this headline, read the laudatory reactions on Bsky, then click through and learn that one of the only things they agree on is support for the Nazi Tattoo guy
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Mass rallies supporting Ukraine took place in US cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, New York, and Boston, demanding that an agreement not be approved which the diaspora says would legitimize Russian aggression and force Kyiv to accept Moscow’s terms.

What they said about Harris never was about being opposed to wars.
It was about being opposed to a woman commanding them and defending our allies and classical liberal values.
They never opposed following Donald Trump to commit plunder, rape, and murder for fun.
