as soon as you become a political correspondent in America they take you into a little room in the White House and hit you on the head with a mallet until you lose the ability to retain long-term memories.
After Trump tells NBC News he could maybe use a "softer touch" on immigration, we immediately get the "different tone" narrative from CNN.
Brianna Keilar: "A change of tone for the president. Softer touch."
David Chalian: "He acknowledged learning something that this requires a softer touch."

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

I hate to inform you all that Marty Supreme is really good, and Timothée Chalamet is absolutely amazing. It’s infuriating how goddamn good he is
As someone who watched almost every movie that came out last year, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, and If I had Legs I’d Kick You are the only movies worth your time

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Living in a state with legal weed is cool. Having a dispensary a five-minute walk away is cool. What's not cool is the lady at the dispensary saying to you "thanks for coming in so much." Now, it feels like a problem when before it was just a fun way to ease stress.

The report is: "YOU COULD HAVE JUST BEEN RIGHT ON PALESTINE & TRANS PEOPLE" in big 98 font letters.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

The Trump comments about Rob Reiner are extra batshit because a few months ago people were getting fired and civil war was being threatened because some people dared to accurately describe Charlie Kirk's beliefs

I know that Trump's death won't magically fix everything but I do think that the collective wave of global joy that when we all get the news will be powerful enough to at least save an endangered species of something
