Jenkins is admittedly doing this for the engagement but it's always so telling when people with a large platform use it to flatter the powerful as opposed to sticking up for the marginalized.

Then those same powerful people bemoan the lack of trust in media…

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

I knew about corned beef & cabbage but not Old Bay seasoning, and DEFINITELY not about British Fish & Chips! 🤯

Fish and chips has long been considered a working-class food, and its origin coincides with the apogee the Industrial Revolution in the mid-1800s. It is believed that the fried fish component draws on a culinary style introduced by Sephardic Jews who arrived in England after being expelled from Iberia in the late 1400s and early 1500s; the tradition of battered fried fish was long established among them, possibly because the fish could be cooked before the Friday Sabbath and leftovers consumed cold the next day without violating religious strictures. In whatever case, fish cooked "in the Jewish manner" was a popular street food in London.

Like this is legitimately blowing my poor little Anglophile mind

Did not know this about Old Bay

I have been informed that this actor (Charles Korsmo) actually does work for the Federalist Society, which is astounding because I was just making a joke about the character

Not a shocker, sure, but the sheer audacity is still mind boggling

It’s been long-known that conservatives have a public shaming kink; apparently a lot of journalists do as well 🫠

“And another thing, don’t put in The Bluesky I’m mad”

This is such an embarrassing way to defend an article. “Here’s our new piece. Being mad at it makes it correct! IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU ARE THE COPS.”

Okay, lady, we get it. You like Bari Weiss. That’s legal in America. Nobody is arresting you.

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

Hey Sally quick question what the fuck

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Cuomo just “both sides-ed” the indictment of AG Tish James. Disqualifying on its own, aside from everything else about him

42: The answer to life, the universe and everything Douglas Adams said it was the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. He meant it as a joke, but a new book shows how the number 42 has played a significant role in history

Sally Jenkins & @sallyjenx.bsky.social Follow This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob.

I know when people start a post with “Honest question” it’s typically followed by the most disingenuous bullshit ever

But like

Did all legacy media & associated journalists lose all capacity for shame at some point or has it always been this bad & I just didn’t notice

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

I don’t know if having unlimited money actually melts your frontal cortex, but this outcome is observationally equivalent.

Men would rather collapse a government than go to therapy

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
