That is why I never assumed incompetence. It's malice. And they've never tried to hide it. They never played dumb. They've always been very clear about who they are and what they're doing.
Everyone sat around talking about how these people were incredibly stupid and then they managed to successfully implement large swathes of the plan that they all told us they were going to execute and you really have to wonder who is the stupid in this equation

Santa as we know him today — sleigh riding, gift-giving, rotund and white bearded with his distinctive red suit — only began to properly take shape early 20th century. What did he look like before this? Find out in our "Pictorial History of Santa Claus" publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.
The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Another path being ignored.
The importance of Far-UVCs ability to destroy multiple pathogens simultaneously *outside the human host* cannot be overstated. Leaving no mutational space to explore, it literally creates an evolutionary DEAD END for replicating entities.

There’s room for somebody on the left to wrap themselves in the flag a little & make a point that the right’s rejection of America as a creedal nation—and their ad hoc, ahistorical effort to make it an ethnonationalist project instead—is distinctly *unamerican,* a rejection of the national project.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.
