Erstwhile homosexual journalist whose content you probably once consumed through NBC News, NPR, Marketplace or Scruff. Currently working for myself, so I say what I want. 🤓

Pay one lick of attention to Israeli media and you quickly see it’s much like our closed system echo chamber, except that Mamdani animates their nightmares even more, and his popularity in New York and with local Jews is treated like an existential threat to their current national mythology

RIP Rose.

Friedman was in her early 20s when she landed her first position as an editorial assistant at NPR. She became an editor and reporter, and a co-creator of the annual Books We Love reading guide. n.pr/4yavrvC

To find cheap things I had to reactivate Facebook to access marketplace, which means I was within a day exposed to a video of a man beating a woman in a restaurant. I see the old infinite feed is still performing as designed.

The Kobeissi Letter: US job postings on Indeed fell -3.5% YoY in the week ending July 10th, to near the lowest this year. Postings have declined -37.2% since Apr 2022 and are now down to Feb 2021 levels. The number of available vacancies in the US is now only +1.0% above pre-pandemic levels recorded

Call me crazy but I think dropping an Atlantis cruise (where men often die from overindulgence!) full of gays into Egypt or even Turkey was an unsustainable and undiplomatic folly that’s representative of the cruise industry‘s approach to travel more broadly www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

This Oregon public story on NPR about the do no harm part of the BBB makes me realize that this provision means that every time the federal minimum wage is hiked more arts programs will face the federal funding chop. Yikes.

Hope everyone is buckled up for midterms this year. I expect this sort of election denialism stuff is going to make 2020 look quaint in comparison.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

And there they are

In addition, literal stacks of M4000 chemical bombs, used by the Assad regime to drop sarin on civilians in 3 recorded incidents, were found and photographed. Yet more evidence everything we published at Bellingcat based on our open source investigations of chemical attacks was accurate.

The public’s inability to differentiate cognitive slowing which is normal due to age from dementia is very frustrating as someone who’s seen multiple people go to Alzheimer’s

Centrist Madness Election Center@centristmadness.bsky.social

The theory that Biden had dementia was always a conspiracy theory because it required a coverup. That’s why people were so excited about the Tapper book. But then he didn’t find a conspiracy and it’s 2 years later and Biden is doing public events and chatting up people on Amtrak.

This Noem story means all the MAGA-influencer failed actors finally get the excuse to publicly play with their gender and their content is already streaming into my reels feed 🥴😤

Poor bro’s in over his head. Thank God for Pimeyes and BitTorrent

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

It’s really weird to take the train almost daily over the huge construction effort underway along the East River to create a dike to keep back the rising seas while remembering the book New York 2140, which is about life in the city long after the dikes failed and the ocean filled the drink. 🍹

He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a convo she just had with Trump: "He said there are now five things in this SAVE America Act that he wants the House and Senate to pass. He said, 'No mail in ballots, no men in women's sports, and no transgender operations for youth.' He added those two."
