NYC Enjoyer

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

I think this is all in good-faith

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Stuck with geriatric markey or seth moulton, thank you Ayanna!!!

Second-hand knowledge from people who work/ed for him is that he seems like a nice guy with the right instincts who slowly veered into the wrong lane by breaking his brain on twitter + dc, its a shame

lets just say some of his staffers were NOT surprised about his divorce

Constitutional law professors never beating the "useful idiots" allegations.

The conservative cultural project right now is to use the coercive power of the state to do affirmative action for bigots.

Pointing at every dance duo on Dancing with the Stars and asking my girlfriend "they fuckin?" to piss her off

Isaac Chotiner: "You would have to be brain-dead to read this piece and not immediately wonder who is funding Semafor Gulf." Quote post of Ben Smith saying: "Fascinating @msergie piece on covering a monarchy" about a Semafor article on Saudi Arabia's crown prince Smith responds to Chotiner: "That's a hell of an allegation/implication, Isaac. To figure out the literal answer to your question, you'd either have to look and see who the sponsors are in the email (I haven't checked today!) or read our publicly disclosed list of investors. I believe you're trying to imply that it's the Saudi government? Have you read more of our coverage, or just this tweet? My impression — correct me if I'm wrong — is that you're working on zero information and smearing us in general, and an experienced journalist @msergie whose work I suspect you're totally unfamiliar with in particular." Chotiner responds:"I’m not making any allegation. I’m making a simple point about how an average reader—myself included—might respond after reading this ridiculous piece"

Ben Smith: "Just asking questions! Come on. You genuinely know better. Or read Mohammed's long career of work covering the Gulf and the Syrian war before you imply he's some kind of stooge." Noah Kulwin: "The point is not about who funds your reporting/if your colleague is a “stooge”. Isaac’s comment is that the reporting is so bad so as to make a reader wonder who is funding it" Smith: A reader, sure. A journalist who can do very basic homework, kind of lame. Chotiner: "You are right, I’ll do some homework now by perusing Jay Solomon Semafor pieces, and reading Jason Greenblatt Semafor columns. In the meantime, I will formally say that I am making no accusation and was just astonished at how inane the piece was"

Chotiner quote-posts with "I see Semafor loves running column after column by this guy (https://semafor.com/author/faisal-j-abbas), who also publishes pro-Saudi conspiracies about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi https://arabnews.com/node/1386291" Ben Smith's post says "I hope I'm not overreacting, but it makes me crazy when people I think of as reporters do this "just asking questions" stuff. Feel free to report it out by googling/asking me/reading our various scoops and reports about the region — these two just now" and links to two Semafor articles

Chotiner quote posts Ben Smith: "You might have heard that the UAE is helping destroy Sudan, but at the next Semafor event, all is well." Screenshot says "Held at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, Semafor will spotlight insights from the Global Findex 2025 report and the Global Digital Connectivity Tracker, translating global research into actionable, locally relevant conversations. As the third stop on The Next 3 Billion Tour, this edition explores how the Gulf's growing investments in Africa can accelerate digital connectivity and financial inclusion. With Abu Dhabi's focus on sustainable finance, digital transformation, and cross-border collaboration, it offers a strong platform to examine how technology and capital can work together to expand access and opportunity." Ben Smith's post says "Just asking questions! Come on. You genuinely know better. Or read Mohammed's long career of work covering the Gulf and the Syrian war before you imply he's some kind of stooge."

A new kind of rapid Chotining. Please appreciate the alt-text.

If you just google "Obama n*ose deep south", you can find dozens of separate incidents between 2008 and 2022 lol

pro (french) tip: have anywhere between 5-9 beers beforehand and I promise it will be your greatest meal yet

Nuking the university sector while increasing state pensions? Interesting electoral strategy. Now lets go take a look at the age demographic vote split for the last General Election!

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.

no dog in this fight, but I just find it hilarious that we've gone from 1% in mayoral polls to Daily News reporters scrutinising internal advisory votes in less than a year lol

kshama sawant:

Find it slightly amusing that the contingent of centrist "ball-knowers" who spent weeks rationalising the behavior of Senate leadership are now up in arms about Zohran supposedly "cozying up to the fascist". I thought this was how politics was meant to be played?

Yeah, Jeffries

I just watched him get Trump to run cover for him in front of a hostile press corp, throw his own party's NY gubernatorial candidate under the bus, dismiss every GOP boogeyman attack against him, and cause a massive crashout among his own dead-end supporters. I think this is good!

I know the last few days have been insane, but I do think people need to relax a little before they start freaking out about Zohran being secretly in favour of a brown-red alliance and scheming to sell out the city to fascists based on the behaviour of a single campaign consultant.

Don't think you're too concerned about "saving time" since being mad online seems to be the only way you're spending said time.
