It's very bad! People should not do these things! Or consume them! At all!
Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy.
Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

I both fail to understand this level of emotional investment in tv stuff AND what specifically the issue is here. But I guess I didn’t watch the clip either. (On account of not caring about tv stuff.)
I genuinely loathe Chuck Schumer

This discourse has always been tricky because I do not WANT my mom to go to jail but also am not a “tell people what to do” kind of person. I recognized this as one possibility!
Call me a carceral urbanist but I think that you should have to go to jail if you kill an entire family with your car.
Further, we should hold elderly drivers in particular responsible for the their actions because we need to create a deterrence effect to encourage people to stop driving.

The woman prosecutors said killed a family of four after ramming into a bus stop with her car in San Francisco’s West Portal neighborhood will avoid jail time after changing her plea in court.

Just to clarify -- People are being amused that he's putting "English" and "Irish" together, but this isn't that, really. It's standard white nationalist/nativist talk. "Scots-Irish" is not the same as IRISH Irish. It's Ulster folk, Protestants. In this context it means "white Southern".

Everyone thinks that Nazism is just boots and braces skinheads and 14/88 chuds but the esoteric variant that dresses itself up in new age spirituality, health neuroticism, and woke blood and soil nationalism is far more pernicious.

Frederick Douglass did not know his own birthday. But he chose to celebrate it today because FUCK your Valentine’s Day.
Happy birthday to one of the greatest, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, he didn't know his actual birthday, but chose to celebrate it on this day.
Please read his books and essays; please teach your children his story when they are old enough to understand.

not putting Zohran in the center here is… a choice
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

So I guess the one dude here ran for and became the mayor of a major world city, so you gotta at least include him over there on the left. But folks, we’ve got a white dude with a beard and (possibly) calloused hands. How can you look away?!! GOTTA put him right in the middle.

With respect, Senator, “former Prince Andrew” is hardly the proper etiquette when naming a thoroughly revolting and disgraced private citizen of high birth. It’s like “the sub-duke of Chunmelfuck” or something, right?
LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation?

We all know the bit about how you shouldn't type anything you wouldn't want read back to you in a courtroom. Well, you should also be aware that if they want they can also just MAKE A GIANT POSTER OF YOUR PHONE.
Good morning from Chicago’s Loop, where Marimar Martinez and her attorneys are holding a press conference to announce a civil lawsuit stemming from her shooting by a Border Patrol agent in October.
They have some of the agent’s texts blown up on posters
