Curious how France is described as political chaos because two parties with ≈60% of the seats in Parliament will negotiate a PM, whereas Netanyahu is always described as the will of the Israeli people, rather than the negotiated choice among eight parties with 53% of the seats.

Honestly, what kind of bananas frame this story like this? Is shit serious or not, fucken freaks?

Basically the Facebook has managed to turn the news feed into a spam inbox

Facebook's suggested spam/scam pages spoiled today's House of the Dragon for me. I'm seriously considering closing my Facebook account. I hate Facebook. It's useless garbage now. It's not worth the serious downsides to keep in touch with friends and family.

Fuck yeah.

Breaking news: The first projections after polls closed in France’s legislative election put a leftist alliance in the lead, as the populist, anti-immigration far right falls behind and performs far below expectations.

France election live updates: Left-wing bloc leads in results projectionswww.washingtonpost.com The populist, anti-immigration National Rally party had been hoping to install France’s first far-right government since World War II, with 28-year-old Jordan Bardella as prime minister.

Bulls could've unloaded DeRozan over two summers and two trade deadlines, and instead got Chris Duarte, two second rounds picks, and some pizza money for DeRozan as he walked. Pitch black days in Chicago.

FROM WOJ: ESPN Sources with @TimBontemps: The Sacramento Kings are agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls. https://t.co/eopPkSPBvc

BTW whenever a Republican or just generally a social conservative uses "DEI mayor" or "DEI President" - that is, uses DEI as a pejorative - it is in place of the N word. Hard, southern slaver and Jim Crow N word. DEI as pejorative = N word. That is what it's replacing in these contexts.

Subtle. Very subtle.

By the way: fuck the Charlotte Hornets and fuck Miles Bridges. Garbage tier franchise re-signing a brutal domestic abuser. Guy even attacked his victim after they left him and got his new partner to get in on it.

FROM SHAMS: Miles Bridges has agreed to a three-year, $75 million deal to return to the Hornets, per Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Brandon Cavanaugh. 💬 @ShamsCharania JUST IN: Free agent Miles Bridges has agreed on a deal to stay with the Charlotte Hornets, sources tell @TheAthletic

my takeaway from a lot of this—substantive "what should the dems do" questions aside because I have no idea—is that people are incredibly weird about aging and disability

A second insurrection. Stop comparing these people to the founders. They are the Confederacy.

A second American Revolution, this one aimed at unwinding democracy in favor of a monarchy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | The target of the right’s ‘revolution’ is pluralistic democracy itselfwww.washingtonpost.com The president of the Heritage Foundation said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

"There are many reasons for this rise in populism, often unique to individual countries. But broadly speaking, a number of European countries are suffering from sluggish economies, HIGH IMMIGRATION and higher energy prices" Suffering. From high immigration. @cnn.com is Luke McGee a nativist?

Kind of apt that a former American police officer - by profession, the most systemic liars in this country - is the one working on a campaign that relies on flooding the zone with as many lies about Ukraine as possible.

A viral story that alleges Ukraine's Olena Zelenska recently bought a rare Bugatti car in Paris is the work of an AI-powered disinformation operation, run by an ex-Florida cop now based in Moscow, that pumps out a network of fake news websites aimed at Americans. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm against giving CNN what they want, but if Biden can't campaign after 8... he can't campaign.

I think it's wild they publish this diarrhea. Barrett voting to make the President king runs counter to this country's entire history and political system. They're continuing to cover the SCOTUS in their comfortable both sides-y prism, instead of writing the obvious story about American dictatorship

My Facebook suggested pages - 99% of my feed now - have evolved from ecchi to a constant stream of spoilers for ongoing TV shows Are there any humans in charge left at Facebook, or is it an algorithm that exists to spam in perpetuity? At this point a feed full of ads would be an improvement

I’ve been skeptical about the idea that there is an actual rightward turn underway at the NYT, and assumed their recent baffling editorial decisions were a result of the usual tepid liberal both sides-ism. Today I’m canceling my subscription.

very much the words of a man who has never once worried, not for a moment, that he would be outside the law

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?
