Kinda wish our beloved nation's political press corps had even one question about why oppo research is being sent to them.

one of my most durable political lessons out of Occupy is: not only is it a bad look to instruct people at protests you are not part what to do based on posts online, it’s bad tactics to order around people with local experience and who are doing countless things you won’t know about from posts

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

My wife found an old issue of Penthouse in her files from when she ran a media criticism zine. She had it because it contained an interview with Ernest Dichter, a name that sounds like it was made up for a letter to Penthouse.

Partial cover of the January 1974 issue of Penthouse. The articles listed on the cover are:

Promiscuity in the Courts: The Baked Judges

Their Man in the White House

Interview: Dr. Richter- Adman's Guru

Fiction by Gerald Green

You can see past of the cover model. A long brunette braid falls over a tanned left arm, she's wearing a chunky necklace and a nice titty has been censored so the image doesn't get flagged.

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 13h

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

this has got to be the stupidest and most blatantly "unamerican" group of rulers this country has ever had. if you can't win against "goons in the streets, rotting food in the fields, orang is 90 dollars now" then i dont know what to say

i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

"A good year for Kenyas" is the green coffee buyer consensus this year. We wholeheartedly agree and have said yes to many this season.

Our latest from the Karumandi washing station is among our favorites. Roasting this week. Don't miss it! ☕

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
