Goddamn, the New York Times sucks. Just a horrible and constantly wrong and shitty equivocating garbage paper.
On the major issues, from invading Iraq, attacking Iran, facilitating mass slaughter in Palestine, etc... they are willing to argue for blatantly immoral and illegal positions.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Canada is supporting Israel because of foreign interference. If your MP is opposed to Chinese, Russian and Indian interference but complicit in Israeli interference, then they are an immoral monster and a low-level traitor.
This in no way benefits Canada. So why the fuck do we tolerate it?

Another bombshell new report just dropped exposing Canada’s complicity in Israel’s genocide on Gaza.
The authors found hundreds of shipments from Canadian military manufacturers to the U.S. weapons factories that manufacture Israel’s warplanes, bombs and artillery shells.

Why is only Anthropic paying writers for pillaging their work? Meta, who have no valuable social function and who are filthy fucking rich, also pillaged masses of writers. And they have all demonstrably pillaged visual arts of all sorts. Surely Meta, Google, OpenAI, Grok-- all of them-- should pay?

One thing that modern conservatives have really figured out is that their followers do have strongly held beliefs. It's just that those beliefs are based on absolute bullshit. And you cannot, ever, let on that their bullshit beliefs are bullshit. NEVER ask for accountability.

Conservatives are upset. This time because polling shows that SO MANY young American women want to flee the country.
Didn't they understand the program? After having their rights revoked, after being constantly demeaned, they were supposed to suddenly embrace Jesus and have white babies.

The media are engaged in a secondary coverup by not investigating Epstein's political connections. We know that, for instance, the NYT is going to provide cover because they're an incredibly corrupt organization. Their occasional bright spots of reporting are precisely what make them dangerous.

Whenever I read anything absolutely corrupt and lawless about current US politics, I like to note that Poilievre will never criticize this. Our neighbour has fallen into oligarchical corruption and he either utterly approves (very likely) or knows that his core approves (also likely).
I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I've seen people wonder why Poilievre and the CPC have responded so ham-handedly to the MP defections. I think the answer is simple.

I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.
While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.
With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.
