CBS News just gutted its climate team Paramount and Bari Weiss aren't off to a great start. Here's why David Ellison should change course.

CBS News — fresh off its acquisition by Skydance Media and the installation of anti-woke opinion writer Bari Weiss as editor in chief — fired most of the reporters who specialize in covering climate change.

Reminder: THIS IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND EVERYONE INVOLVED SHOULD BE TRIED IN THE HAGUE.

This. The issue is a lot less "is this guy a Nazi/does he sympathize with Nazis?" and a lot more "can we trust this guy's judgment and do we want to risk it, especially right now?"

It shows bad judgment to not proactively deal with and disavow one's Nazi-associated tattoo before running for office.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

On our last date, we were walking through a park when I told him we couldn’t keep seeing each other, that I disagreed with most of his beliefs and didn’t align with the future he wanted. Confused, he replied that from his point of view, we actually agreed on most things. No, I said, we didn’t, which he would know if he’d asked me any questions about myself. He still leaned in and tried to kiss me. We never saw each other again.

The kicker is so brutal my body involuntarily recoiled in secondhand embarrassment:

I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made. “Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied. Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.” He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

the description of this alleged "conspiracy" is... flimsy? alarming? the work being done here is to float the argument that if six people at a protest are (allegedly) observed engaging in the same activity, this is now a "conspiracy"

'instead of destroying poverty, it was considered cheaper and more efficient to destroy the poor'

Reminder to anyone who needs it today: Reading books (at home, on the bus, in Starbucks); owning books; loving books; discussing books. None of these things are “performative” unless you’re selling tickets.

In Opinion

Adelita Grijalva won a special election in September to serve as a Democratic congresswoman. But Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in. “Such is the essence of Trumpist leadership: If you don’t support my tribe, you deserve to be ignored, even punished,” Michelle Cottle says.

It's bananas! I Literally grew up calling the lady who lived across the street and watched me after school "Auntie Dottie." my actual aunt's best friends also "Auntie!"

It's not uncommon and I don't know why they're pretending it is.
