Watching this now. Absolutely incredible Bari Weiss killed this. What a gift. Just shows what a propagandist she is. So weak and pathetic.
I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

A person completely out of her depth. A bumbling mediocrity.
NEW: Bari Weiss addresses her decision to hold last night's CECOT story on the CBS News morning editorial call: "Our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else..."

One week ago Bari Weiss hosted Erika Kirk for a town hall under the tagline, "Can this woman bring America together." She can't even keep her organization's signature conference from descending into chaos.
At Turning Point USA’s annual gathering, speakers scarcely mentioned Democrats and other liberal figures. Instead, some of the most prominent right-wing leaders in the U.S. insulted members of their own movement, revealing serious rifts.

Watching Roma, I never feel that they are about to score. Some of the most dire offensive football I have ever seen in my life.

It feels like every December, during holiday season, Roma play Juventus, play them poorly, and ruin my mood for the weekend.

They opened with More Stars Than There Are In Heaven. Closed with I Heard You Looking. Covered Love Minus Zero/No Limit. Played Aselestine, The Lie and How We Told It, Brain Capers, Tom Courtenay. Just suggesting once again, Yo La Tengo is our greatest American band.
night 6 of hanukkah featured the tweedy family singers mixing sad songs & rare skronk, then joining yo la tengo for gnarly jams ("the race is on again," "i heard you looking") & sweet harmonies (a whole-tuchus encore of jewish-written herman's hermits tunes). setlist: jessejarnow.com/2025/12/yo-l...

Notre Dame was one of 4 maybe 5 teams that could really have won this tournament and they were kept out by a dogshit Alabama team and 7 other dogshit programs.

Fuck you Elise Stefanik. Decent people everywhere deserved to revel in your defeat and humiliation. But, you are not only evil and pathetic, you are also an utter coward who chooses to quit when you know you will lose.
Breaking News: Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York said she would leave Congress at the end of her term, and suspended her campaign for governor.

I very much enjoyed Matt Strahm on the Phillies. A guy that did whatever was asked of him, and exceeded all expectations I had of him on his arrival. A damn good Phillie. He’ll be missed.

Nothing David Brooks ever says should be taken at face value again. Ostracize this sex creep from society forever.
NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."
Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

David Brooks Said ‘Count Me Out’ Of Epstein Story, Then Wound Up In Epstein Photos
There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!
