Mark Jacob is 100% on point in his critique of the NYT. And the Times editor is missing the basic _factual_ point in defending their euphemisms and, frankly, thier elisions.
🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

The pitch: AI is a force majeure that will inevitably lead to loss and diminishment (income, security, utility, peace, existence) of all those who failed to invest in it yesterday! Look on its works, ye mighty, and despair!

Schadenfreude is German for (cruel self indulgent) “pleasure at the misfortune of others”. Not here for it.
Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.
This is a really good episode! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great compendium. Very useful!
For the past two years I've been tracking every bill proposed in state legislatures across the country to figure out what Republican plans for the future are. The answer, based on these 1,182 bills, is that they want to repeal the 20th Century heartlandsignal.com/2026/09/09/b...
