Willy Aceituno, a naturalized citizen from Honduras, was confronted by federal agents in a Charlotte parking lot — TWICE.

The piece quotes Kara Swisher — later identified as a friend of Nuzzi's — saying her piece about Biden's age was "the best political reporting out there."
But it wasn't! It came out two weeks after the debate and is just a bunch of anonymous quotes from insiders. Replacement-level stuff.

i realize that the main charges against swisher are bootlicking and intellectual dishonesty but really any adult who wears aviator shades indoors to denote independence of thought should be sent packing immediately

If the punishment for a crime is a fine, it's legal for rich people.
A dude giving me an estimate on moving me told me that a super wealthy dude in the area had a zoning permit for one story but built three instead and he just pays the $10k+ in fines to the town every year.
Let that sink in.
Rich people can afford to do whatever they want.
They are not like us.

this is very funny, but to be earnest for a moment: the same guys setting $10M on fire here are the ones who can’t stand the idea of buses being free, of rent being affordable, of anything at all being easier for all the people for whom $10M would be an unimaginably transformative amount of money

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
