Unless there is some really bad shit in his background, he is going to easily win. Democratic primary voters do not want old and safe. They want blood and vengeance

The Dem establishment is going to back Mills over the absolute phenom outsider Platner in Maine, which tells you everything you need to know about how well they understand the current moment & how prepared they are to meet it.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

Google is now returning AI summaries even for searches that start with "-AI", this bubble cannot burst soon enough.

Send feedback to google: product design or functionality

Is it embarrasing to work at Google these days? I know that one upon a time google was the crown jewel of silicon valley, a part of the web so integral it became a verb. But every AI summary is so likely to be riddled with errors it detracts from my research. Now "-AI" doesn't prevent AI summaries. You're giving me the trash I'm asking specifically to not get. This is dogshit.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

ICE is thug trash.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Quick reminder that Christopher Columbus was considered a vile, repulsive, evil man even in his own time. His actions as governor of Spain's New World colonies landed him in prison for his cruelty and violence.

I've seen a really funny dynamic play out in my mentions several times now where people are really excited to jump in and be mad at me, assuming I did something heinous, and then I get to watch in real time as they scroll through my posts and realize I didn't actually do anything wrong

I've already seen people, smart people, giving too much credit to the president 'wanting peace' and way too little credit to 'another nine months of grueling war with a Srebenica level civilian death toll'

this, too, these were extraordinarily expensive purchases, they bought FP for $150M on, at best, $10M in revenue per year. i know it isn’t 1:1, but i do not think FP would still have been a $10M+/yr property a decade from now.

Not that they won’t try, but a complicating wrinkle for Bari is that at least on television, CBS News has very few hours of programming to even propagandize from compared to any of their cable-based competitors.

I think Ellison overestimated the reach of what he was buying for both FP and CBS.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack
