Just read transcript of GB News interview with Trump. North Korean broadcasting standards. Bev Turner is not a journalist. Her sycophancy was shameful.

“A politician’s greatest trick is to convince you that he's not one,” Nuzzi writes. “And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself.”

“Are you still talking about Epstein?” Trump keeps asking. Epstein is a “dead issue”, he says. The man stays dead but his issue is very much alive. That is because the system that protected Epstein has still not been held to account." My column. on.ft.com/43p8IhQ

The collapse of Noah Smith from 'interesting writer whose occasionally a bit random' into 'complete idiot and mentalist' is one of the most clear cut cases of twitter-poisoning I've seen
Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

An important piece from @edwardluce.bsky.social. It speaks a truth many both-sidesers in the media have actively obscured. The anti-semitism in America comes from the right and it is getting worse and it has high-level MAGA sponsorship. We need to see it and reject it.

The Kim Kardashian test is whether her spiel about a fake moon landing should be taken at moronic face value or whether it's an ingenius brand refresh strategy that works. For the sake of our species, I hope it's the first.
