Hiring Bari Weiss to bring down the temperature of the discourse is like hiring Animal from the Muppets to reduce workplace noise

David Ellison’s note to staff on Paramount’s acquisition of the Free Press

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

We have heard a lot recently about very bad things that have happened to actual, verifiable humans who came to believe that LLMs are Sentient - meanwhile, we have seen pretty much zero real-world examples of bad outcomes flowing from "rigorously avoiding viewing LLMS as sentient."

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

when it hits the fan youre going to hear people saying “there was no way to see this coming” and its important to remember those people will be lying to you

My thing about Bari-and I've been on her show—I have a lot of admiration for how good she is at what she does. My disagreements with Bari are that I think she's asymmetric in sympathy and generosity. Tell me what that means. I've thought The Free Press' work on, say, starvation in Gaza has been really bad Spell it out. It's done this whole thing, like, Well, a lot of the kids who have died and have been reported on, well, they had secondary conditions. And, yes, when you starve a population the people who die first will be the most vulnerable. But that's not exculpatory. There was overwhelming evidence of how bad things were in Gaza. I felt that they were trying to whitewash it. I think Bari, though, is an insane talent spotter. If you look at what she's built at The Free Press, she's very, very good at finding people, at pulling them in, at networking with them. She's sort of an impresario. Bringing in Tyler Cowen to be a columnist was a very good idea for them.

There’s so many nuggets from this New Yorker piece but my favorite: Ezra Klein’s one example of praise for Bari Weiss is she’s an insane talent spotter, while whitewashing a genocide, and that talent she spots is Tyler Cowen, the guy who wants a virgin AI

Wait, Tyler Cowen has been writing about how to find virgins since 2009 while he was a professor at George Mason University

I checked the Free Press becausw I couldn't believe even Bari Weis would publish this line. But it's real, and the professor who wrote it continues to sexualize a software program in other weird ways as it goes. Extremely weird fanfic going on here.

Holy shit it's real. I was sure this was a bit. Omg.

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

If you believe in those things too, you might be an antifascist.

Last week, Trump declared “Antifa” a domestic terrorist organization.

This is why the far-right in the US & Canada see it as an obstacle that has to be cleared in order to carry out their smash-and-grab of the political establishment. 👇

Part of the reason it's so hard to be non-partisan in reporting is that Democrats have been pulled to the center on most issues.

Now, when you're just delivering facts, it's often viewed as "partisan" by the far-right.

I don't think this is true at all?

Lindsay Shepherd wrote a truly bonkers "documentary" called Starvation Policy (directed by Keean Bexte, ofc) which argues the government is ruining farms to starve white people (only white people). It features a robust selection of white nationalism & climate change denial.
