it’s incredibly funny to me the ways to become an accredited investor are “professional licensure” and “just make/have a lot of money”
There should be a financial licensing scheme that you have to go through to before they let you be high income enough to make this bad of a decision

remember that time Obama called something an act of terror and republicans flipped out because he didn’t say the magic words “radical Islamic terrorism”
The U.S. has suspended all immigration requests from Afghans after two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C., in an attack described by Donald Trump as an “act of terror”.

immersive VR space combat experience where you’re given a bunch of drones and thrown into a running clothes dryer and you win if your opponent barfs into their space helmet first
Listen, a The Expanse game should be a brutal and painstaking Belter economy simulator and nothing else.

if our media betters want us to believe these two are flagrant exceptions to how the industry operates it would be the easiest thing in the world to condemn them and make them into pariahs

there’s some set of years where my high trim level 2017 Honda Civic would be objectively a better car than the Sultan of Brunei’s (assuming all its supporting infrastructure exists)
The average medieval peasant could not buy a gas station delta 9 gummy and watch “Scooter Fail Compilation 5” on YouTube, which makes it difficult to compare GDP across time

I have been on Team RFK Was Decisive for a year now, which means I now must follow the franchise to its rebrand as Team Crucify This Bitch.
People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

Sinatra’s Jingle Bells sucks for the same reason, the 50s female backup chorus is aesthetic nails on a blackboard to me
the single worst part of the grocery store Christmas music rotation is the part of Home For The Holidays when the chorus comes in and starts singing rapidly about the family car in that horribly saccharine default 50s style

there's no way Lizza and Nuzzi are the biggest freaks in that incestuous mess, and I feel all the more certain given how they've circled the wagons

Also these are people at the heights of the industry, and both Nuzzi and Lizza were almost instantly rehabilitated by top media companies after a first round of scandals that should have made them radioactive. Now lo and behold, much bigger shoes to drop, and we probably haven't seen the last of it.
The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Even I can’t fully believe how right everything I’ve been saying about them for over a decade was

So. Can any of us look at our colleagues in the political press corps of Washington/New York and say, with a straight face, that none of *them* would do this? That none of them would hold important stuff back to their own benefit? Throw sources over to cultivate bigger ones? Fuck a subject?

I said years ago back on the bird site in the context of Weigel and Swin that republicans giving you scoops is automatically suspect because it means they consider you a friend
One thing about RFKuzzi is that I feel like we all need to recognize these cloying “personal” details as signs of simpering sycophancy.
When a reporter breathlessly says he was at RFK Jr’s side when he heard the Kirk news, we should think: “Oh, I get it. This reporter is a huge piece of shit.”
