"the Biden campaign said it was pausing all messaging to supporters and working to pull down all of its television ads as quickly as possible, the campaign said." I know these people are incompetent jackasses but "let's just let Trump speak unopposed" is borderline deliberate sabotage

I hope Biden never again knows a minute of peace for the rest of his short days.

sorry but this is just wrong. yes, there’s a bad faith media feeding frenzy. but *fifty million* people watched Biden sputter his way through that debate. it is not a creation of the media, it is a real problem.

I don’t like to embrace doomerism but I’m pretty sure the moment we took on this narrative as a true “concern” Biden needed to disprove, especially party leadership, we were fucked.

Should be national news: - Cop accused of grooming & raping 15 year old - Two other cops had sex with her in cop cars - She gets pregnant, found dead - Cop was last one to see her alive, in apt where she was found - Ruled suicide with no tests on DNA evidence - No criminal charges against anyone

sure seems like this cop who groomed and raped this child then impregnated and murdered her www.bostonglobe.com/2024/06/24/m...

Death of Sandra Birchmore was a homicide, prominent pathologist says - The Boston Globewww.bostonglobe.com The finding contradicts the 2021 conclusion of the state medical examiner, who ruled that Birchmore, a young woman who was allegedly groomed by three former Stoughton police officers, died of suicide.

if we had caught wind of Saddam’s Republican Guard doing shit like this even once it would have been paraded across the evening news repeatedly as proof of the regime’s brutality and a justification for war

“Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military Jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday. A video showed a Palestinian resident of Jenin, Mujahed Azmi, on the Jeep that passes two ambulances.”

to be clear, there are people on the left who believe they can sort of bathe in moral absolution by not participating. i don’t think that’s right, either. but the solution to voter disaffection is the same as it ever was: do good shit and communicate it effectively

I don’t think this is necessarily wrong, but I do think that focusing on convincing disaffected voters that they’re morally bankrupt is a worse strategy than “have Joe Biden do stuff people like”

As I've noted before, if you are a right wing professor saying your speech is violated the Times will make you a celebrity. A right wing student can get an op-ed. No equivalent support for violations of leftist speech from the editors donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-desant... bsky.app/profile/donm...

This is an incomplete list of the number of NYT articles that discussed Dorian Abbot being disinvited from giving a talk at MIT. He was subsequently re-invited. It is safe to say that no professor that is punished or fired for participating in a protest will receive a fraction of the attention.

The year is 2037. Kendrick Lamar releases a 17 episode telenovela attacking Drake, who has not been heard from in five years. Most critics enjoy it but say it lacks the geopolitical depth depicted in Lamar's recently completed run on "The Spectacular Spider-Man vs. Drake, Canada's Greatest Shame."

He compared the US to Nazi Germany a week ago and a majority of Americans have "none" or "not too much" confidence in him, but sure let's bring him to give a speech about how Woke equals Hamas. It's a good opportunity to see if we can fracture the Dem coalition so badly we lose in spite of Dobbs.

I repeat. Princeton University, where Toni Morrison held an esteemed professorship in her life, has arrested & evicted one third of its Black studies majors due to their activism for Palestine. I wanted to repeat because I find it a huge deal.

Did you know that if you look into the history and purpose of policing in the US, it's not actually a failure for them to timidly allow the murder of children but rush in aggressively to crush protests, arresting journalists along the way?

Thinking about how at first it was antisemitic to even suggest that Israel was bombing hospitals. Then they were but only because of Hamas tunnels. Then they were shooting through windows at doctors but it was all Hamas' fault. And now it turns out they were just executing people en masse

So the co-creator of Space Ghost and one of the guys who basically helped invent Adult Swim today works as a delivery driver for Amazon. I'm referring to Andy Merrill (voice of Brak, who put together the SG pilot in a storage closet at Turner) who apparently got extremely screwed in the deal.

pretty wild how much mainstream press coverage just elides the fact that Israel's attack on a consulate precipitated this. the general impression to a casual reader at most mainstream outlets would be that Iran launched an unprecedented attack out of no where

This is so wild to me, because they won. People stopped torrenting and just got streaming substitutions instead. All they needed to do was keep things the same, and they fucked it up anyway.

Streaming services are becoming less attractive because of rising prices and companies removing content, which is sending people back to piracy. So now the industry is trying to pass laws to penalize digital piracy again.

Studios Are Going After Piracy Again, Potentially Reigniting Fight Over Free Speechwww.hollywoodreporter.com The Motion Picture Association said it will work with Congress to enact an anti-piracy law similar to legislation that failed to pass more than a decade ago for potentially promoting censorship.
