I unpacked the implications of Nick Fuentes' collaboration with Tucker Carlson and the former Fox News host's willingness to portray the white nationalist livestreamer as a victim.

Someone wants him in the mainstream. Why? And what does it mean? postsfromunderground.ghost.io/on-tucker-ca...

Right-wing propagandists in the Pentagon trying one their second day on the job to explain why Trump can drone strike whomever he wants and it isn't illegal.

I didn't realize that the pro-eugenics natalist couple that was inexplicably profiled by several major outlets for having a lot of kids through IVF started a podcast. Here's an unlistenable episode where they try and argue that Hitler was a hipster and not "right wing."

Hannah Claire Brimelow, whose father Peter Brimelow founded the white nationalist group VDARE, appears to be one of the propagandists in the Pentagon this week.

VDARE's contributors include lead organizers of the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally, as well as other prominent white nationalists.

This is hilarious. Nick Fuentes bemoaned reporting I did (though not by name) during his interview with Tucker Carlson about one of his pals working for Marjorie Taylor Greene. Now @rightwingwatch.bsky.social ruined him. Guy can't take responsibility for anything. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
Nick Fuentes Blame A Right Wing Watch 'Smear Campaign' For Making Him Seem Like An Antisemitic White Nationalist
Nick Fuentes says that a Right Wing Watch "smear campaign" is to blame for giving people the impression that he is a racist, antisemitic, Christian nationalist extremist nut job.

Pathetic move on the part of OU. Even more pathetic when you consider that with Kirk gone, TPUSA is very much a shell of its former self.
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Just hear me out: maybe the Democratic Party’s problem is that the party leadership is full of people incapable of realizing that Matt Yglesias has terrible political instincts.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

Has anyone made the switch from Spotify to Tidal? Several artists I listen to a lot left because of ICE ads and other garbage on there. And to be honest, the listening experience has just gotten worse.

There are no citations from the Bible here, no references to past theological works, no supporting scholarly interpretations of any relevant passages, no definitions of concepts (“gender,” e.g.), and relies on personal opinion. Is anyone at that organization literate?

BREAKING: The majority of executives and upper management are totally talentless hacks.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

I don’t normally bitch about this stuff publicly, but after Charlie Kirk’s death, prominent right-wing commentators spent weeks calling me and several of my friends “terrorists” and “fascists.” So, was that incitement to murder?
