Got a special bonus episode of Organized Money. I did an event with Cory Doctorow for his amazing book Enshittification and we taped it for our Xmas week show:

The Enshitification Life Cycle With Cory Doctorow
Twenty years ago Cory Doctorow saw how the technology we use daily was purposely being broken, it was only when he started cursing the process that we finally started listening.

See here is how it works. Mayor Waguespack makes the decisions as to what gets done. Nobody elected him, though. And it all feels like the outcomes are predetermined. Public infrastructure is effectively removed from public accountability. This is by design. www.nola.com/news/fema-de...

Scoop: The lone employee behind CISA's Pre-Ransomware Notification Initiative resigned on Friday rather than take a forced reassignment to FEMA.

CISA says PRNI will continue, but sources said David Stern's loss will be a major setback for it.

The incoming Moreno Administration's strategy is to do drastic cuts to city services and to raise fees and taxes on the poorest New Orleanians while saying the bond ratings agencies are "making" them do it. But they chose this scenario on purpose.

Everything is working smoothly, I see.
NEW: Tens of thousands of documents appearing to be from "Dataset 8" of the Epstein files went live on a Justice Department website today, only to be pulled down hours later without explanation.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.
Asking this seriously: has Bari Weiss ever in her career reported out an investigative story?

As with many fascist functionaries, Weiss also doesn't know what she's doing. She doesn't know anything about TV news or even reporting. The right wing demands to be put in charge but they don't do homework. They're the emperor telling Mozart the symphony was good but had too many notes.
whatever this is it isn't journalism
