If you leave one magazine job and go write a book, apparently for a major publisher, and you deliver your manuscript and take another magazine job less than a year later, when did the exile part happen, exactly?

This is a “might as well start smoking” headline. Especially considering “by 2050” is a fairly optimistic projection.

A RTP foi à conta Volksvargas negar que tinham convidado Gonçalo Sousa e apagou todos os posts com essa referência. Como se fosse possível reescrever a realidade. Tudo na net é eterno, nao se pode apagar😄

Oh, vejam só o Gonçalo Sousa Macho Tóxico aqui todo bem vestidinho e bem comportadinho, feliz da vida por ter arranjado um biscate respeitável na Senhora RTP. Incrível como estes rebeldes das redes na verdade sonham todos ser o Eládio Clímaco.

O novo comentador da RTP desfiliou-se do Chega por achar que o partido se estava a moderar demasiado. Como entretanto foi banido do X, tomei a liberdade de ir espreitar o Wayback Machine (publicações de 2023).

The Bari Weiss-led CBS News has had this up for 3 days and misspelled his name in the hed.

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 2d

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

getting Zohran Mamdani’s last name wrong is, like mispronouncing Kamala Harris’, what the linguist Geoffrey Nunberg calls a thinko, not a typo—a “mistake” rooted in social and political coding

This was said by an Israeli official in November 2023: "Whoever returns here, if they return here after, will find scorched earth. No houses, no agriculture, no nothing. They have no future"

'They've destroyed everything': Palestinians return to devastation in Gaza City

Those returning say they are driven by desperation rather than confidence that it is safe.

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”

After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

The tell is when the "free speech" warrior's argument equates to "the people criticizing me are silencing me and should therefore be made to shut up."

It's a pretty obvious tell; makes you wonder about those who keep falling for it time after time after time. Or maybe not wonder so much.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Amanhã, vamos ter um novo partido a governar no poder local e mudanças também nessa paisagem. Não se vai falar noutra coisa (“como é que chegámos aqui?”) durante dois dias, mas pouco se falará disto e de quão este deserto contribui para o enfraquecimento da democracia.

Mais de metade do país em risco de ficar sem cobertura jornalística

Enfraquecimento de rádios e jornais locais “tem sido acompanhado por um fortalecimento dos gabinetes de comunicação das câmaras municipais” — 1,7 milhões de pessoas sem ou com pouca informação local.
