If Andrew Sullivan wants to keep writing his race science shit, it's worth noting (as an intern of his in
2013): At a private meeting, his entire staff challenged him on it until he asked, exasperated,
"well, why didn't Africa conquer Europe, then?"

Trump is trying to inconvenience or scare No Kings protesters to reduce the numbers of attendees, but what is this idea of a “show of force?”

Show of force to threaten whom? Californians? What the fuck?

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News:

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver

Spoke with the amazing Sarah Spain about the quest the WNBA players are on to get the NBA to pay them something.

The NBA owners seem to think paying the players is not something they should be doing as owners of the WNBA.

@sarahspain.com and I disagree!

I guess they'd have had to acknowledge trans people(or any other vulnerable group) even existed to have truly thrown them under the bus, but debating "abandoned" or "betrayed" feels like splitting hairs. After all, what really matters here is making things up to absolve the Dems of responsibility!

Ari Drennen @aridrennen.bsky.social · 14d

I am tired of hearing assertions that Democrats "threw trans people under the bus" in 2024 from people whose primary interest in the trans community is as cannon fodder for their revolutionary pipe dreams

If I hear one more sports journalist describe the WNBA media deal as an achievement, I may scream.

This was a deal designed to protect the NBA, and those owners of WNBA teams who are also owners of NBA teams. It grossly undervalues the W.

student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

It truly appears that the desire to say this sort of stuff without being socially ostracized and so on has been a main driver of one side of our politics from the "anti-PC" 1990s all the way through the "anti-woke" / "anti-DEI" present.

A true political juggernaut, this desire certain people have.
