Olbermann explains Kimmel’s firing. I don’t always agree with what KO says, but in this case he offers a perspective not seen elsewhere.

Be cautious of AI;
Google AI said “The name "MSNOW" originated from a 2025 online hoax claiming that MSNBC was rebranding and spinning off from its parent company, Comcast. There is no evidence this happened, and the information is false.” Got this when I googled about MSNOW.

This argument is the same used against “Genocide Joe” b/c if he were reelected it terrible it would be for the Palestinians. I guess their future is bright.

Can someone explain how waving the Mexican flag advances the resistance to Trump’s authoritarian playbook?

I doubt Trapper had access to the people he interviewed while Biden was in office. Because of that I don’t think it is a hit piece.

I feel badly for the generals. Look at the body language of the general behind Hegseth. It screams “what did I do in life to get here?”

What’s up with Morning Joe?
Joe and Mika often not present at the same time and when they are, Mika’s body language is unmistakable with her rustling papers when Joe is speaking and general look of agitation. I wonder if there’s behind the scene conflict the show is managing.

Of course you can’t. Don Jr has been seen about town with a new squeeze so daddy made a preemptive strike to ensure his old girlfriend doesn’t write a tell-all book telling of the dirty family secrets. What a loving father.

With Joe’s over the top shouting and justification in reaction to this article, the thing Morning Joe doesn’t seem to understand is this show is a counter-narrative to all the BS emanating from Fox and why Frum’s joke was funny. Mika’s apology for the joke felt like a betrayal and a sellout.

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it.

Why is Ari Melber droning on about the Hunter pardon and if it was fair. Who cares! Every loving father would do the same and Ari’s idiotic sophistry only provides cover for MAGA BS offered on the far right media. Get Real!

How many people were killed by the purposely pushed misinformation spread on the Murdock and Musk platforms? So maybe we should deport the killers.

Did you know Bluesky was developed by Twitter? Twitter announced Bluesky in ‘19, spun-off in ‘21 and only opened up to the public in Feb. Interestingly, Musk acquired Twitter in ‘22, but much of the current growth is fueled by what they call Elon Musk Events (EME).

The show has become Morning Mika, with her dominating presence. An example is this morning where Joe and guests want to discuss the snowbowl which was last night’s TNF, but Mika wasn’t having any of that and insisted on moving on to the latest Trump BS.

On Morning Joe, WRT Kennedy nomination, Joe talks about the incredibly fast development of COVID vaccine and credits Trump Admin. However, what is mostly lost is the role of decades of HIV research for the development of the vaccine;

Not only that, but the surprising pleasure of re-following all my old friends from a previous platform that has become a dumpster fire.
