Nobody wants this. Except Trump, Ellison & Weiss. Audiences consistently say they want more news coverage about things that impact their daily lives. Any news org that actually wants to grow it's audience would be focused on doing just that instead of whatever this is ⤵️
weiss does not know how to run a news organization, and so she's doing what she does best: hosting fatuous "debates" involving the people in her group chats www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
Bari Weiss’ Next CBS News Move: Town Halls With JD Vance, Sam Altman and Debates About God and Feminism
The news division is also planning a town hall with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore in the 'Things That Matter' series, with Bank of America lined up as a sponsor.

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."
Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

David Brooks Said ‘Count Me Out’ Of Epstein Story, Then Wound Up In Epstein Photos
There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.
Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Virtually no sex change surgeries have been performed on transgender minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria until they are 18.
Gender-affirming care decreases depression that trans and nonbinary teenagers feel, and it makes them less likely to consider suicide.

It's so bizarre. If you're a GOP politician, pundits tell you to act manly and voters will follow. If you're a Dem politician, pundits tell you that it's OK to be a wimp as long as you check the right boxes. It just cannot be that voters divide neatly like that. Both policy and character matter. 2/

So odd that GOP politics seem driven only by perception of manliness, not policy, while Dem pundits act like all that matters are positions on specific questions polled, not character or strength. Voters responded to Sen. Van Hollen's support of Abrego because he cared, acted, and seemed strong. 1/
I said that raising the salience of immigration was counterproductive to the goal of winning the senate races needed for a majority and I don’t think anything has happened that should change my mind about that.
But good progressive soldiers don’t like to acknowledge tradeoffs.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.
