The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Yeah it is. But…having sold my soul to my company and working a shitload of on call allowed me to completely eliminate my student loans this year.

You are totally right. It burned me the hell out. But…I did earn my freedom from that hellacious debt.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

Never forget how I tried to watch a 2+hour youtube essay on some stupid webcomic all the critics I like were recommending. It taught me a lesson that I am too old & it’s OK to think “I think sucks” & reserve my limited mortality.

Are people rewriting history again? Bari Weiss has never been cancelled. She tried so hard to get pushed out of the NYT and when it became clear that wasn't going to happen she penned a whole "you can't cancel me, I quit" op ed and left on her own claiming dirty looks in the break room.

Eli Valley @elivalley.bsky.social · 1d

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.

No shit I'm furious. I spent eleven years learning to write well about complex topics in ethical ways, often for criminally low rates, because I believe that work's important. It's deeply insulting to see a total dipshit get fabulously wealthy for telling the rich what they want to hear!

This is nothing new. One of the main grifters during Gamergate was an author who rose to infamy for making her entire cause about saying boys were being feminized by removing bullying from schools.

wtf is wrong with these people

NYT: A Campaign to 'Bring Back Bullying'

On social media, some are arguing that bullying deserves a second look. Trolling or not, the push seems to reflect a general turn away from sensitivity.

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Exclusive | CBS News taps Adam Rubenstein — once ostracized at NY Times for liking Chick-fil-A — as new deputy editor

Sources expect Rubenstein will effectively run the Free Press now that Weiss will be busy steering the editorial direction of shows like “60 Minutes,” “Face The Nation” and …

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

I mean what do we even say at this point? This is the abolition of the free press and first amendment for the “privilege” of reporting on the people’s government currently carrying out extrajudicial executions of random civilians at sea.

A PFAC may be denied, revoked, or not renewed if a person is reasonably determined to pose a security or safety risk to DoW personnel or property, in accordance with the standards and procedures outlined in Appendix A. Such an initial determination may result in an immediate suspension of your Pentagon access while the procedures preceding a final determination are pending.
This in-brief and its Appendices address DoW policy and the potential bases for such a determination and do not prohibit you as a PFAC holder from engaging in constitutionally protected journalistic activities, such as investigating, reporting, or publishing stories.

Such determination may be based on factors including, but not limited to, the unauthorized access, attempted unauthorized access, or unauthorized disclosure of CNSI or CUI, convictions for national defense offenses, threats, or unsafe activities (as listed in Appendix A). Such a determination is based on a reasonable assessment informed by the unique facts and circumstances of each case--such as whether the conduct is willful or repeated, versus isolated and unintentional—and incorporates due process (e.g., written notice of the basis, a 30-day appeal period, an opportunity for personal appearance, and a final, reviewable determination).
For clarity, the receipt of unsolicited CNSI or CUI and its subsequent publication is generally protected by the First Amendment and would not, on its own, normally trigger denial, revocation, or non-renewal of a PFAC. However, if you solicit the disclosure of such information or otherwise encourage DoW personnel to violate laws and policies concerning the disclosure of such information, such conduct may weigh in the consideration of whether you pose a security or safety risk.

There is a critical distinction between lawfully requesting information from the government and actively soliciting or encouraging government employees to break the law. The First Amendment does not permit journalists to solicit government employees to violate the law by providing confidential government information. The press's rights are not absolute and do not override the government's compelling interest in maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive intormation. Soliciting or encouraging government employees to break the law talls outside the scope of protected newsgathering activities.
Solicitation may include direct communications with specific DoW personnel or general appeals, such as public advertisements or calls for tips encouraging DoW employees to share non-public DoW information. For example, an advertisement or social media post by an individual journalist or media outlet that directly targets DoW personnel to disclose
10
non-public information without proper authorization would constitute a solicitation that could lead to revocation.
Additionally, publication that recklessly endangers American lives could factor into an assessment of whether continued unescorted access to the Pentagon poses a security risk.

(a) The use of cameras or other visual recording devices on the Pentagon Reservation is prohibited, unless the use of such items are approved by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, the Installation Commander, or the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs.
(b) It shall be unlawful to make any photograph, sketch, picture, drawing, map or graphical representation of the Pentagon Reservation without first obtaining permission of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency or the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs.
Note that this prohibition applies to the use of apps on mobile devices that utilize the front-facing camera lens, such as "FaceTime" or the taking of "selfies."
News media visiting the National Pentagon 9/11 Memorial in their personal capacity, not as a member of the press, may take photos using their personal devices. Filming or photography in the Memorial for a news media interview or to obtain b-roll requires an exception, as described below under Filming/Photography Exception Requests.
