“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

there's a conspiracy theory going around that actually Travis Kelce wrote the songs on the new Swift album that everyone seems to hate and torn between stop making excuses everyone does bad work at some point and these are the sort of conspiracies we need as a society

If you really want to say a thing off the record and think it’s necessary that it not be for attribution or the interview will be misleading, and the reporter won’t agree to go off the record, it’s incredibly easy in 2025 to have your cell phone mysteriously drop coverage.

This report left out the best part of Weiss’s pep talk! Many people are saying that as she finished, Weiss made the heavy metal fingers on one hand, stuck out her tongue, bobbed her head and yelled “YOLO motherfuckers, let’s go save western civilization!!!”

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

A common talking point in far right publications in the 1970s had to do with a bunch of Cold War executive orders laying out a range of “emergency powers” a POTUS could temporarily take on in a crisis. They used to say this was the blueprint for communist takeover. Turns out they were just jealous.

Trump’s Own Tweet on Portland Backfires as Judge Deals Him Harsh Loss As a judge’s blunt ruling blocks Trump from deploying troops in Portland, Oregon’s Attorney General tells us in an interview that Trump’s lawless threats are working against him—and discusses what com...

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:

Disgruntled NYT journalist to ‘anti-woke’ power grab: how far can Bari Weiss go? After leaving the New York Times, she turned her Substack into an unshakable pro-Israel voice. Now as Paramount eyes acquisition of her company, Weiss is poised to become Trump’s ally among media elit...

"The pattern is clear: if you work at a liberal institution and you want the Trump-controlled federal government to step in and discipline it, Bari Weiss is there to help."

N.Y.C. Mayor's Race > Who's Running Capitalizing on Adams's Departur By Kellen Browning Photographs by Jordan Gale Reporting from Portland, Ore. Oct. 4, 2025 Too extreme. Too inexperienced. An absolute disaster. Mainstream politicians are sharpening their attacks, and the wealthy are threatening to move away as a socialist revolution sweeps through the city. They're not talking about Zohran Mamdani or his plans for New York City. Rather, they are agonizing over the scene in Portland, Ore., where the democratic socialist principles espoused by Mr. Mamdani - the front-runner to become New York's next mayor — have already taken root at City Hall.

Am I going insane or does the top of this NYT story on Portland read like vintage Breitbart?

They really will just say anything

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

This is happening. Musk's lawyers tried to say his statements about Autopilot might have been deepfaked, in a case he settled almost as soon as the judge stopped laughing

This Portland police officer stood up for his community against ICE agents trying to drive into a crowd of protesters.

“You WILL be arrested.”

This is depressing and awful but just wait until you see who she brings on board! That will be also depressing and horrible!

Bari’s trains run on time!

We need a complete and total shutdown on right wing pseudo-intellectuals bloviating about how their substack posts are bravely defending the foundations of “Western civilization” against the radical left onslaught until we can determine if their ideas made more sense in the original German.

Just watching the second part of the Netflix doc series on New Orleans and Katrina and pondering the crime-is-out-of-control narratives and NG troops pointing their weapons at fellow citizens. No reason.

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

Their early actions included working under the alias of the Barbie Liberation Organization, purchasing roughly 500 Barbie dolls and GI Joes, switching their voice boxes, and returning them to stores. Then, when some Portland residents opposed changing the name of Front Avenue to Martin Luther King Boulevard in 1990, Vamos mobilised his troops and changed every single road sign on Front, including highway exits, to read ‘Malcolm X Boulevard’ overnight.

That wasn’t even the biggest thing the group did. When some racists were trying to prevent the city renaming a major road to honor MLK, they pasted over every single sign for another road (even over-road signs) to read ‘Malcolm X Blvd’. And there was “GI JOE” Barbie.

Days of Protest Past Portland’s rich history of marches, protests, and political action.

Famously, back in the Bush I years, protesters met a visit by VP Quayle by eating red, white, and blue colored mashed potatoes, then drinking ipecac so they could vomit the colors of the flag in downtown. #LittleBeirut

Damn, not again.

I didn't say your name WAS Cumstain. I said your name was LIKE Cumstain.

Certainly not someone with 1 follower and name like Cumstain.

I agree with you that real-estate developers and financiers are complete and utter morons. I mean, who would build a Ritz-Carlton hotel topped by a $7.5m penthouse in the middle of a city like the one you describe? Only absolute idiots! Why keep building lux hotels in a socialist cumstain like PDX?

OK , I’m reasonably hirsute but even I don’t have hairy ELBOW pits!
