From now on, if you want to bother me with "Biden wasn't a good candidate, Harris wasn't a good candidate" you are REQUIRED to tell me who was your candidate.

Not some mythological Marxist who was going to give us all free unicorns--the name of a living, breathing human.

I look forward to laughs.

Good to see the "Defund the Police" guy getting another gig.

No kings no paychecks is literally one of the dumbest political slogans I have ever heard.

They're all in today on the "Kings are good, akshually" talking point.

Bold move, Republican Cotton.

Yup. I'm not asking for a Board of Journalism to make a ruling.

I just want to live in a world where people who violate the basic tenets of their profession aren't rewarded.

Apparently, my real name is Pollyanna.

Emmer: "Clearly, the Democrat Party of today is not your grandfather's Democrat Party. They care about one thing and one thing only -- appeasing the radical pro-terrorist wing of their party."

I mean, I literally get updates every month on who has been banished from our profession and why it happened.

Asking other professions to police their own seems pretty reasonable to me.

Oh, and as an engineer, I can ABSOLUTELY talk down to you from a position of moral superiority.

If you have a "lapse of ethics" as an engineer there are consequences up to and including you NEVER WORKING AS AN ENGINEER EVER AGAIN.

We are the original cancel culture.

What I've leaned is journalism is not a profession with standards and practices.

It's just a club.

Therefore journalists will not be treated as a regulated, honorable profession.

Trust is earned, and if you can excuse ethical lapses, enjoy your club.

But dont get mad when you aren't respected.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

Cool story, bro.

Not the issue.

Just to clarify: a journalist having an intimate relationship with a subject and not informing their employer is good journalistic practices or nah?

Wait, they were apologizing previously?

It's Bork for millennial Republicans.

Surely what happened to our beautiful boy is the greatest injustice in the history of humanity.

Doomer VonDoomington 🇺🇦 @doomervon.bsky.social · 12h

LOL.

Republicans literally ran on:

Romney's opponent was a secret Muslim that wasn't born in America and is married to a man.

Sit the fuck down.
