yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

Okay. I've conceded the prescriptivist vs descriptivist argument about use of "begs the question". Use it to mean "raises the question" if you like. Go ahead. It doesn't bother me at all.

I was just reminded that Trump continued slandering the Central Park 5 through the 2024 campaign, while revealing he didn't know the most basic facts of the case. The man has never in his life suffered a lasting consequence.

Sad. Ordered from the grocery store (via instacart).

Order came. Seemed light. Turns out they were out (or shopper couldn't find it).
But I did get all the stuff to go with it. Which I have to decide what to do with now...

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

Had a conversation with a friend I haven't spoken to in a while. Went to grad school with them (in philosophy).
They stuck with it. I bailed. Heard about their work. Wanted to be able to more actively participate in the conversation...but realized I didn't have a bloody clue what they were saying.

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.
