The 60 Minutes fiasco was just the beginning. I will make a prediction:
Starting countdown for the day Sam Harris will have to disown Bari Weiss, adding to a very long list of ex-friends/allies, and tell his followers she "changed" or went off to the deep end or whatever.

Looking over the year, our coverage of Xbox titles in videos almost feels like it is getting harder and harder to justify from a work return perspective. Very little views there even for titles that you think could draw them in. I wonder what the future is there.

Wow @bsky.app this incompetence sucks. Last year I paid for this domain to get a custom handle, buying it through BlueSky JUST TO HELP YOU, then now I find my handle was gone and the domain gone and now parked at namecheap by some squatter. I was never notified of expiration.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

This week couldn't be better for Dem progressives with Zohran winning and Nancy Pelosi now announcing retirement (...in 2027). And I don't care if she's 117 years old, I was big for Biden. I care that her politics is 50 years old and completely beholden to big donors.

I finished Kamala's book. It's great, and easy read with a day-by-day account of her perspective of the election. The juicy stuff is now well known, she's critical of Biden's decision to run but much of that is directed to "Biden's team" extensive to her work as VP. 🧵

The US just extended Magnitsky Act sanctions to Viviane de Moraes. Wait, who's that? Oh just the wife of a Brazilian Supreme Court justice who was already sanctioned in retaliation to the "witch hunt" (official wording) against Jair Bolsonaro. So that's our external policy now.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.
