My optimistic take is that the Posts and Cbs News hard right turn will lead to them collapsing as businesses instead the new Fox News.

Hey so hypothetically, if I wanted to do a coup, is it a good idea to call all the generals fat?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

Let's say you're lucky enough to live in a $1200/month rent stabilized apartment. If you make more than $50,000, you'll be evicted.

Cuomo's campaign provides some more details on his Zohran Mamdani-trolling proposal to make rent stabilized units in NYC income-restricted:

Right-wing columnist Charles Gasparino complains that Zohran Mamdani wants to hand out "free bees"

Tweet from Charles Gasparino:

I keep hearing that young people are propelling Mamdani because the city is so unaffordable.
The real question is whether young people should want to start their career here particularly by living in Manhattan. There are much more affordable places w good paying jobs, decent living standards and low crime. Mamdani handing out free bees will just make the place less affordable and Miami and Dallas more appealing

I am a massive ******* when it comes to horror. But my creative writing students love horror. So what do I do? I wrote an essay about teaching horror writing even though it makes my skin crawl.

Greenblatt and Netanayahu's vision for American Jews is a physically endangered minority they can use to prop up support for a fascist ethnostate.

jonathan greenblatt et al want you to believe that israel is being blood libeled and that lies about israel spread by the media are responsible for the surge in anti-jewish violence but it is israel's actions and our leaders' defense of those actions that is putting all jews in the crosshairs

The sun will expand in 4 billion years. We have much more pressing issues to address, such as drug-addled billionaires trying to destroy the planet/democracy.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · Jun 3

It's so incredible to still see the left accused of moral relativism when every conservative column is just 'yes all of our leaders are bad but the people calling them bad sometimes exaggerate.'

For better or worse, Elon Musk is a visionary. I have no doubt that he’s volatile and reckless, but those who dismiss him as a fraud or an idiot have not been paying close attention. Yes, his time meddling with the federal government has come to an end. And yes, perhaps his foray into politics was, in part, a disappointment to him. But Mr. Musk’s vision goes well beyond Washington. He has always been clear on this point and continues to tell anyone who will listen: “Eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun,” he told Fox News last month. “The sun is gradually expanding, and so we do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization, because Earth will be incinerated.”

This is objectively abnormal, insane and genocidal, and anyone who is still in denial that the war aim is quite simply the destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza is an unserious human being who does not have to be engaged with.
