The chap on the left once defended marriage between siblings in a live interview on GB News.

By all accounts it was too much even for GB News viewers.

The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

An article from The Times: "Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future". Featuring bizarre portraits of Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin and Daniel Campbell.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

We aren't getting our democracy back without first crushing billionaires' ability to monopolize public discourse. The simplest solution would be to tax billionaires out of existence, but however it's done it simply has to happen.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

we don't talk enough about what hack bullshit that was from Donut

"Food" Thoyd @spaceplans.bsky.social · 15h

"Look at this nerdy white guy right here!"

Still from s1e7 of Detroiters, "Smilin' Jack." Donut, a mediocre standup comic, has a crowdwork set centering around nerdy white guys marrying black women that relies on Tim being in the audience. Tim is not in the audience because he got stuck working late on a commercial shoot due to the star's fear of gorillas, thereby ruining Donut's set

“She plays to an audience of 200 people,” one Hollywood executive with ties to Weiss told Variety. “It just happens to be that audience is made up of people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Ackman. The superrich f------ love her."

Bari Weiss, the incoming editor in chief of CBS News, once auditioned for a role on the hit daytime television show "The View," but tested so poorly with audiences that she "wasn't invited back," according to a new report.

Some might call her the girlfriend of two of the founders of antifa. They would be wrong, though.

Sources: The Jaguars and Browns are making a trade.

It's CB Tyson Campbell to Cleveland for Greg Newsome II, who lands in Jax, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social

Another day, another Cleveland trade.

Lol, I realized after I posted it I forgot to include anything about his predilection for dark-haired blue-eyed white boys.

Although I guess Max Greenfield isn't blue eyed. But then, neither was Cory Monteith

I'll be yelled at for saying this and I accept that, but I have to believe that at some point at least a few of the people forever blowing off the correct assessments and predictions of the Left will start to notice the pattern and come around. Not the social media pundit types, but real people.

I wrote about the Bari Weiss take over of CBS News as part of a broader trend away from the pretense of liberal institutionalism into a genuinely post-reality tabloidism, marked by AI slop, unsophisticated Trumpian-Likudite propaganda and consolidation of traditional and social media.

Policing people for following mildly problematic accounts or people you're beefing with: annoying and bad

Policing people for following well known public figures with abhorrent beliefs: justified 95% of the time, as evidenced by every post by someone with a "follows Jesse Singal" label.

Crazy how sacrificing trans rights doesn't actually win elections, but liberals like Jeff are really eager to try it anyway. For some reason.

"Captain" "Ruck" "Cohlchez" @captainruck.bsky.social · 10h

Maybe we should sacrifice your human rights for (a false) electoral convenience. You seem so eager for that plan, why don't we volunteer you.

"This sort of behavior is unhinged" you mean being concerned about the kinds of people and ideas your website's leaders imply they accept or even approve of?
