I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I like to imagine that the NYT only hires ethical people. At least people pretending to be ethical

Taylor Swift does physical airgap network segregation. You work in cybersecurity and sext your followers on Discord.

Who is the real professional here?

This thread highlights a point I have been making for many years: the logic of authoritarianism and the logic of domestic abuse are exactly the same. It is only a difference of scale.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 22h

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

she quit her job and traded ethics for cash.

It's a pretty simple story.

It's amazing how everyone supporting her seems to forget she wasn't cancelled at all. She quit. And almost immediately was able to launch this new publication. How the hell was she cancelled?

Some people criticized shitty takes. That's not being cancelled.

Eli Valley @elivalley.bsky.social · 22h

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker

I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money.

The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.

those pesky Russian windows. At it again.

Hey, remember when Elon wanted to start a publication called Pravda to judge the trustworthiness of journalists?

Former Russian newspaper publisher dies after falling from window: reports

Vyacheslav Leontyev, 87, the head of the Pravda publishing house, has been found dead in Moscow.
