the editor of the New York Times reacting to a potential Trump second term with “fasten your seatbelts” is so deeply vile i can’t wrap my mind around it. these people have detached themselves so completely from the things they cover that the rise of fascism becomes just something exciting to watch

I'm no ivy league fail upward brunchlord news professional, but I feel it's generous to call conspiratorial fascism (managed by a sociopathic manbaby with a fourth grade reading level) "disruptive" that's kind of like saying nuclear annihilation is "modifying"

Is it going to rain? I don’t know, my privatized weather service has a partnership with Amazon so it suggests I buy rain boots every day. And the weather satellites are provided by Starlink under a lucrative federal contract so it just says “Great weather to drive a Tesla” anyway.

Existing Trump supporters—including political reporters privately in sympathy with him—obviously experienced a powerful galvanizing emotion from the failed assassination attempt. They assumed that emotional experience would be widespread, but so far the polling doesn’t bear that out.

again it is just staggering what a biased media environment Trump enjoys. the average mainstream article is not just pro-Trump but wildly dishonest about the stakes of the election

Spoiler culture sucks. Why can most humans not even do the *bare minimum*? One of the biggest releases of the year has been out less than a month(!) and someone posts a major spoiler pic WITHOUT including the name of the release. It would have been caught by my muted words. Our species is garbage.

I keep harping on this: They didn't press him on Gaza or student loans or even legalized marijuana, things voters are incredibly invested in and motivated by. But they just would *not* drop this "HE'S OLD AND NEEDS TO QUIT" drama because that's what it was: high school drama. It sucks.

the brunchlord reporter class is circling the wagons, and don't understand why people are criticizing their choice of running 7000 single anonymous source "Biden is old" stories to every story about infrastructure policy or the fact we're staring down the loaded barrel of full bore fascism

There’s a presidential candidate who organized a coup on live TV and was recently convicted of dozens of felonies for something entirely separate, and the political system is demanding his opponent step down.

There’s nothing in the rules of Monopoly that says you can’t flip the board over and punch your opponent in the mouth. But if someone did that, they’d be out of the game forever. What Trump did was far, far worse. And everyone’s still just… sitting at the table, letting him play.

Weird question but does anyone know what's wrong with a hot tub when it is constantly way too hot? Obviously something broke but I don't know what. I have this deep tub I use for physical therapy every day & it's currently unusable. Paid pool guy $400 & it's still not fixed

The Economist is trash.

I didn't pay to see the full thing, but three paragraphs was a enough to know that they are arguing that research into trans medicine was manipulated. In favor of trans people. Fuck just about anyone still giving them money.

I adore Santa Fe weather. The entire sky is apricot-colored. There is a full-arc rainbow (in shades of red-gold). There is a deluge of rain. There is lightning along the arc of the rainbow. I cannot photograph this. It is amazing.
