The Ineffable Horror of Joe Muggs

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

I talk a bunch of shit about this place but I am a Twitter veteran I know how much worse it can be

ah well. nevertheless.

‪Clay Risen‬@risenc.bsky.social‬ · 39m Nice. If I may add 2 cents: The real reason BW quit the Times was that as soon as Katie Kingsbury took over from James Bennet, she told her she could no longer commission and edit articles. She could only write. But commissioning articles was key to her grift. I mean literally … ‪ Clay Risen‬@risenc.bsky.social‬ · 39m She promoted herself among certain circles as the key to getting into the Times. Which is one reason why I and others blocked so many of her commissioned pieces (one reason: they were also terrible). She said it was our deep ideological bias against conservatives… ‪ Clay Risen‬ ‪@risenc.bsky.social‬ · 39m What so many of us found offensive about that is that our esprit de corps was based on not being ideologically biased (to a fault, if anything — pobody’s nerfect). It was so obvious that it was all a grift, and that it would end badly, with her defenestrating all the people she had sucked up to … ‪Clay Risen‬ ‪@risenc.bsky.social‬ · 39m along the way. When Katie K told her to pound sand, the next step was inevitable. My only surprise was how quickly she bounced back, and how much higher. I believe one of my colleagues said she “won.” Um, maybe… Clay Risen@risenc.bsky.social‬ Anyway, Liz makes a lot of great points here and perhaps she’s right, but also, never underestimate a master at her craft.

Going to need a super bruk remix of this, who's going to have a go?

this is both very funny and absolutely right

(you are actually absolutely right!)

Do you remember how weirdos told everyone that allowing transgenders to exist meant “lesbian erasure“ then within five years the entire pop chart turned lesbian? That was a weird time.

This is extremely exacting

Lise Meitner - Wikipedia

Today's reading begins with Lise Meitner, who co-discovered nuclear fission (she wrote the paper!) and was in general an INCREDIBLE trailblazing scientist.

Except, as a Jew, she had to flee Nazi Germany to Sweden and lost her professorship in Berlin. The men she worked with got the prize instead 🧪🔭

Oooh the Nobel Prize is out today, so it's time for my yearly round of ignoring that news and reading about many of the women who were snubbed of the prize in the past and who the Nobel Prize committee refuses to apologise for. 🧪🔭

holy fucking shitballs

The more people argye about pronouns the less they argue about why David Ellison's dad has 500 billion dollars

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

the dotcom bubble did not, in fact, get rid of things ending in dot com, it just meant that we were all online without jobs now

the degree to which tron as a "franchise" has been inflated to be some epic, legendary thing, and not a kinda schlocky but visually definitive genre exercise, is super, super weird. the first tron flopped! tron legacy did middling business (and it came out 15 years ago)! what did people expect?

Dems are actually winning this one. Chuck don't blink. Don't fucking blink. Let them sort it out. Even Marge is tired of this.

Just read a major label artist blurb that is so RUBBISH even ChatGPT couldn't have stooped that low. It also hasn't been updated on the streaming services since 2022, despite the artist being about to drop a new album. These people just don't give a shit do they?
