"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”
The Epstein files reveal what powerful people see in video games: profit, coercion, and control

and furthermore, it’s very clear that the two most important political tests for the senate in 2029 once we take it will be:
1. expanding the Supreme Court
2. Admitting PR/DC as states

The emerging narrative from the people who worked for Biden seems to be "we debased ourselves repeatedly and violated our own laws for Israel and Israel won't even say thank you".

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).
Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

The enduring legacy of Trump 2 - and really, unbridled Stephen Miller - will be that government can claim vastly more power than anyone thinks, and it should use it as quickly and ruthlessly as possible. Will be fascinating to see how this strategy plays out in the hands of progressives

They like Trump and want to help him. They have pre-written "THE COMEBACK KID" narratives ready to break out of he crosses back over 40% approval for a couple polls, not to report a narrative but to try and change it
AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

We are living under the conditions of epistemological neoliberalism where each individual has to be their own gatekeeper and misinformation expert because most of the institutions that used to do that work have either failed or been destroyed.
after forcing election administrators to become misinformation experts, after forcing doctors to become misinformation experts, after forcing federal law enforcement officials to become misinformation experts...
"I’m trying to rescue my community. I ain’t got time. I ain’t got time to chase every Facebook rumor….We’ve been through enough."
New, from me: the far-right is forcing emergency responders to also become misinformation experts.

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

The media treats Democrats as the only political actors with agency, responsible for everything happening
