The level of play right now is absolutely ridiculous

A photo from a 1990s era riot is not how you do journalism.

Leaving it up for 4 hours after being told it is inaccurate is … propaganda.

Notice the byline on the photo as well. Obvious troll.

People have no idea how bad Craigslist, etc were to papers, at the same time as department stores consolidated and closed and grocery store chains consolidated…

This is absolutely not what they signed up for. It is creating a moral injury.

The problem we find ourselves with is that the other team came out at halftime of the basketball game using tackle as a strategy. We aren’t catching on quick enough that we are clearly not playing basketball anymore.

I am spending a week with someone who lives here. It is very interesting, to see the alternate world she is living in.

I’m so tired of that nonsense.

The street thing is so important. I truly think it’s necessary to stay out of it. It gives “cause”

Constitutional checks on power is not terrorism. First Amendment protected free speech is not terrorism. Criticism is not terrorism. The right of the people to peacefully assemble and address grievances toward their government is not terrorism.

Speak truth to power. Always.

Stephen Miller again lashes out at the judiciary, suggesting federal judges are aiding and abetting domestic terrorism:

Right. It seems like every time it gets before a criminal judge, it goes wonky for them.

Do we have any idea how these things will play with judges?

Thank you for saying this. They’re not reporters or journalists. They’re commentators and invite others on to comment.

We were better off when this nonsense was limited to grocery store checkouts.

Tucker Carlson's content is to the 2020s what the National Enquirer or Weekly World News were to the 1980s. The difference is that those two publications were not algorithmically amplified by the world's richest man (the way X amplifies Tucker), and were taken seriously by neither political party.

I was having a conversation yesterday with someone about the commodification of everything—specifically dating apps that won’t match you to people to keep you on the hook for more $$.

It’s so gross—

I remember that ruling. One of my first realizations of SCOTUS. I was a fundamentalist then and this was a big deal to them.
