They had excellent reporting. This is depressing.
They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs.

Influencers are now spreading misinformation about mammograms. 😡

❌ "The compression can make cancer burst and spread"
❌ "The radiation is dangerous"
None of this is true!

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Please go ask a young adult librarian for suggestions. Readers advisory IS part of their job!
Over on Reddit someone is asking for science fiction for their precocious young reader and the people there are suggesting books that were old when that kid's grandparents were the same age as the kid, for fuck's sake if you didn't know any SF books from this millennium maybe sit this question out

Mark Cuban has done some good things. However, the idea that business leaders need to be incentivized to pay a good wage is sad, especially when working class people are punished for not finding a job or don’t get adequate, or any, health coverage at a job they do find.
Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO.
Bottom up incentives work. Dems never innovate. They bitch
