My guy walking around like “if you hand him your purse it will prevent him from robbing you”
Consider the possibility that the Trump White House WANTS this fight. Wants journalists to act like opponents instead of observers. If the entire press pool skipped a Trump photo op in solidarity with The AP, wouldn't the White House welcome Breitbart and One America News to take their places?
And, are you or your colleagues boycotting covering the WH as a protest?

“Ideas, gentlemen, are bulletproof” and actually sometimes that is quite a dispiriting fact
"Or just abolish capital, that's so much simpler."

Capitalism isn't an object you can break or bury in the desert in the No Great Deeds vault. It's a practice. People can practice it with whatever means are available, and the more they practice it, the more means become available.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending.

K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read.

It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

subscription block lists are neat but there's something very satisfying about hand-blocking the 130-odd dweebs currently in Raichik's follower tab
Worth blocking their followers too.
