10.6% is FAR from the worst I regularly see lmao

Also this is besides the point but it’s kind of funny(?) that there’s some kind of consolidation somewhere in the chain so there’s only like 2-3 templates for loan agreements that dealers use. I have seen this exact page so, so many times

One of the most damaging things that morons like Chomsky have done was to take the history of communist tyranny, and proclaim:

"Actually, they were rightwing, because they did bad things. And we are the good guys, because we are leftwing."

Thoughts so deep, they could fill another mass grave.

“An infant in Kentucky who was unvaccinated against pertussis, or whooping cough, has died, marking the third death from the deadly bacteria in the state this year. Before 2025, Kentucky had last recorded an infant whooping cough death in 2018.”

"You are happy with the rape and murder of the third world" sure is a thing for people who have "the abolition of USAID" on their literal party platform to say.

it is very strange to me that Americans just cannot do packaged, relatively cheap sandwiches. they're fucking awful here. (handmade sandwiches are often great, but, like, the £2.75 Tesco's 'good but not great' sandwich is a missing piece)
It is a huge problem to me that sandwiches in the US are both delicious and stupidly expensive.

There are days I miss a prawn mayo or tuna sandwich meal deal from Boots or WH Smith.

worth noting that she did this *at the same time as* she wrote the Big Article That Made Everyone Decide That Biden Was Old And Senile And Urgently Had To Step Aside. busy girl! busy girl.
Lizza says Nuzzi was acting as a campaign operative while pretending to be a journalist. she did catch and kill, outing sources in the campaign; she tried to get RFK surrogates on television; she wrote strategy memos. 1
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

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

The obvious question of "500 more troops to do what?" has no good answer, but many bad ones.
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

Did you ever read the early negotiations on the 1957 Rome treaty? The one that became the foundational document of the E.U? It almost failed because the French wanted their Algerian colony, and the Belgians wanted the Congo, inside the E.U.
The period in the 50s when the British and French were trying to do Woke Colonialism, is really funny.

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

Media piracy pisses me off so fucking much. “I want to have this thing and it costs more than I want to pay and the first thing matters and the second doesn’t.” Shut the fuck up. Libraries are free and they rule and they have most of the stuff you want.
I imagine most of the people trying to claim that stealing indie ebooks is leftism simply have never had to worry about paying rent or for groceries but sorry, your desire for free luxury goods is outweighed by the material needs of their creators

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

My only reaction is once again to suggest people support independent, pro-democracy media. If you are inclined, you can start with Democracy Docket. Subscribing is free. Premium membership is $10mo. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

I don’t like being referred to as a Yankee but I’ve realized this is not at all because I’m Southern, but because I specifically resent being associated with traditional New England Protestant culture and its flavorless foods
All people from the U.S. are Yankees. I say this as a person born and raised in The South because pissing off That Specific Kind of Southerner is a moral good.
