Hi, @variety.com. Is it your editorial stance that "a show consumed by middle-class Resistance moms" is acceptable unattributed and undefined journalistic language? Do you think you might at least want to present the actual data on that, AS A TRADE JOURNAL FOR THE MEDIA? variety.com/2025/biz/new...

Kaleb’s memorial will be Thursday, October 9th at 2pm at Silver Lake Community Church in LA. We will have a private service in Bakersfield to inter him next to his grandparents, date TBD. If you can attend, it would be very meaningful to his loved ones.

Everyone needs to know that Dolly Parton responded to a climate disaster in her community with a temporary universal basic income for everyone who lost their homes.

Here's a short documentary about it:

The mounting deaths in Trump's concentration camps. “Contracts are being distributed to Trump’s buddies and people with no experience running detention centers, many of these contracts are no-bid. They’re incarcerating people and allowing them to die, not providing medical facilities. It’s horrific”

Immigrants are dying now. Will people of good conscience speak up?

I don't know that this is the *most* unethical thing David Frum has ever done, but in terms of professional *journalistic* ethics? Whooo boy

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 1d

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador

Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

Not only does this torpedo billions of dollars of private investments, and thousands of American jobs, but it also means that future industrial policy won’t be effective because firms can’t trust the US government to honor contracts.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

It's always a little weird to perform a small act of kindness for a stranger and then realize mid(metaphorical)stream that said stranger is a celebrity.

Steven Miller is trying to redefine any resistance to ICE as an insurrection to overturn the results of the election. In keeping with the Everyone is 12 Now characterization of our current politics.
