Pomni Digitalcircus is the dealer and she is 5000% Done With This Shit.
Question for y’all: let’s say you were in charge of making a new Poker Night at the Inventory game (Texas Hold ‘Em with five characters from various media, specifically four players and the dealer.) who’re you picking for the five characters?

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Gonna be interesting to see how Dems respond to this info. A lot of folks think Dems are-poll-chasers, but
I’m not sure that’s true- I think they’re taking cues from the Group Chat, and there are a lot of folks in there who are working backwards to the polls from their own political views.

I will never stop being furious at this entire class of people, who said that lgbtq identity in schools was "grooming" but are now doing the "ackshually its ephebophilia" bit the moment the right and the center are shown to be, you know, the actual groomers.
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

The paper has been reduced to this, so it appears that all Bezos wanted was a propaganda disseminator.
The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

The way Musk was allowed to wriggle off the hook and slither back under his rock after that continues to depress me. The rapid unscheduled disassembly of USAID, which he gloated on Twitter about his role in, was a world-historical atrocity and should be remembered as such.

People keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
