I'm not particularly confident that YouTube even knows how YouTube ads work.
Apparently one of my videos is playing as an ad on YouTube, like the entire 26 minute video.
I have no idea why, I definitely didn't pay for that, BUT ALSO I remember a time I watched the entire pilot of Resident Alien that appeared as a YouTube ad so hopefully if you saw it you enjoyed the video!

It's really quite impressive how the NYT and other major media aggressively recruit Trustfunder Joe-Rogans with a prep-school and Ivy League veneer covering the inner void where intellectual capacities are supposed to be.
Adam Wren and Kellen Browning show groypher-esque smugness whenever challenged on stuff like this, and if that's the way they want to be perceived, we should give them what they want.

I think that's what's called "the point". If you can't even clear that hurdle...

If conservatives are upset with coverage, one must re-configure the paper so they never for a second feel like they are condescended to. If libs are upset with coverage, they’re stupid and can’t read.

It's a very conscious choice to report a quote in this way, and it's hard to see it as anything other than malicious. Whether you agree with her or not is irrelevant - as a journalist, it's embarrassing to witness such a blatant attempted hatchet job

The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try.

To give you an idea how bad this is: I am pretty sure if I’d transcribed a quote like this, with every stutter stop and stumble, for the paper I did my college journalism internship with forever ago, they’d have had my *ass* over it and I’d be having a conversation with my department advisor

The dramatic change is pretty hard to appreciate unless you consciously lived through it. I say consciously because a lot of Millennials, even us elder Millennials, can be fooled into thinking that there couldn't have been much difference between the '90s and 2005-2010.
"Clinton signed DOMA therefore the Democrats suck just as much as Republicans" yes but have you considered that in the '90s this country was so homophobic it was prepared to let guys get away with murder on the basis that another man had come onto them and DOMA had a veto-proof majority in congress?

Why not run Cornell West or Gloria La Riva again? Because “agitational” campaigns don’t actually build anything or resolve the contradictions of electoral politics-they are just abstentionism with extra steps. People care about what AOC says *because she could be a serious contender for president.*

The parallels with English public (“prep” in US parlance) schools up to (and including) the 1980s are… literally (certainly for me) disturbingly uncanny.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen
