They wanted him there AFTER going through a term with him already.

CBS was the network of Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Katie Couric…. all journalists who earned their spots through doing actual journalism for YEARS

And it’s now led by Bari Weiss who *checks notes* an opinion writer who was a book review editor

His daughters are all in college and he has like a 5 year old. Maybe younger

He thought he was going home

That's also because he desperately needs money. He's def out of cash

He ain't got hella scratch left to pay though. He's def cash poor

Puff should have gotten more time. Some people need to be sat down, forreal. The fact that his sentence surprised him tells me he ain't got it yet.

Again, notice how ADOS' social media presence disappeared after the election.

Don’t put this on Gen X. We used to throw these things out

I’m no Newsom fanboy, but figuring out how to change the incentives of institutions considering capitulation is one of the big tasks of our moment.

Oh I have that person blocked (or they have me blocked lol)

and you know what, that one doesn't bother me much bc I probably *am* an establishment dem compared to them. Most Black X'ers probably are.

I've been a facist, a neoliberal, a genocide apologist...

"The reason their part to play feels crueler and worse than those calling outright for the extermination of marginalized communities is because it is crueler. Indifference has always been crueler than hate. And if you’re looking to strip a group of people of their humanity, indifference is always much more effective than hate."

I hope that the call coming from inside the leftist house changes some hearts and minds, but I doubt it, bc their absolute belief in the fact that their philosophical grandstanding puts them on the side of right keeps them warm at night.

"Once you realize this, everything they say becomes clear. They are completely concerned with marginalized communities across the world and completely unconcerned with the plight of marginalized communities around them because those marginalized communities ruin the game. They remind the white leftist that these are actual people with lives and opinions and voices."

"Whereas the brown person across the world can be idealized and placed upon a pedestal, the brown person here, living amongst them, they secretly find distasteful. Unpalatable. So they ignore them to argue trivialities. Inoculated from consequences, blind to the suffering of others unless it’s to make some grand, academic point, they will always be the first to call for revolution and always be the first to flee when it fails. Because they do not suffer, they will say suffering is actually good."

This thread also speaks to why I'm spending less time on 🦋... I can't with the performative outrage and rightousness coupled with the thinly veiled racism of white leftists in large doses anymore. And they come elbowing their way into conversations here the same way the magas did on X.

"As a white leftist, I need you all to know that for a good number of white leftists, the idea of suffering is purely academic. They know, even if they don’t acknowledge it, that their privilege insulates them from harm. This allows them to treat the suffering of others like a thought experiment. Why are they so obsessed with finding the “perfect candidate”? Simply because they can be. They will not be the ones to suffer if an imperfect one loses. So whether *others suffer becomes a game to them"

These posts from @andr3wsky.bsky.social on threads (I checked to see if he also posted here but he didn't) were actually hard to read, because Black folks have said this *so* often and been argued *down* about it, reading someone say it as a 💡 feels damn near insulting. But maybe ppl will listen

They’ve brought back Monopoly, the Extra Value menus, and now these.

Say it loud, kids: RECESSION INDICATOR!!!!!

Victor Newman is basically my uncle, so...

YOU BETTER KNOW HIS GOVERNMENT!!!

Who is Victor Blackwell?

I don't think the in person crowd is going to change bc of Bad Bunny

A LOT of people claimed Kendrick didn't do enough (mostly bc they thought 47 was still in the building). I was like what do you want him to do on live tv with the FCC on the button, exactly?

TIL that AOL dial up still existed all this time. It's being discontinued tomorrow.

WHO was using that?

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work.” — Toni Morrison

Oh he's gonna blow a gasket

Yup. It matters A LOT.

I give A TON of credit to Bad Bunny for the way he's been able to manage/weaponize his global popularity.

Don't let anybody hit you with some form of "I can't believe y'all are so easily distracted. The halftime performer doesn't mean anything."

Putting a global artist who won't even tour in the US bc it's not safe for his community & core fans on the biggest televised US stage matters.

a man is sitting in a chair with his hand on his shoulder . Alt: approving nod

Bad Bunny for Superbowl? I like still being able to be surprised in this hellscape era

how little do you have going on that you take time to track down, procure, and then film and EAT old ass food?

Wall Street Journal headline: "Meet the people who eat 100 year-old military rations." With a picture of what looks like a militia fantasist holding up old mac and cheese to the camera.

White people be SO BORED
