NYT: Ocasio-Cortez Offers a Working-Class Vision in Munich, With Some Stumbles Speaking at Europe’s largest security conference, she tied income inequality to the rise of authoritarians and offered a forceful rebuttal to President Trump’s worldview. She also had some shaky moments.

NYT: She stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response. “I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said

NYT: Trump Says U.S. Will Commit $10 Billion to His Board of Peace President Trump did not specify the source of the funding for the body created for the security and redevelopment of the Gaza Strip.

The New York Times when AOC said “um”: “Stumbles,” “Shaky Moments”

How are policies that recognize the full humanity of the homeless by providing housing not the best, cheapest and perhaps only way to make it so the average person doesn't have to navigate a tent city in the middle of downtown?

They repeatedly did this with Biden too but have for a decade gone out of their way to actively clean up Trumps speech to make him seem more coherent than he is. They do this bc they like and are deferential Trump while they see their jobs as being antagonistic to Democrats

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

republicans presented mass deportations as their housing policy and the media was just like “thats their housing policy” with no further questions

no one ever asked republicans for specific details on how “mass deportations” would work and now here we are

guys that has been happening *on video* for weeks and weeks. if the nyt actually cared, they'd look at the footage. there's *so much of it*.

related to the view among the professional commentariat that only students at ivys and boutique liberal arts colleges actually matter

People keep saying we don’t allow room for nuance on Bluesky with regard to AI & the reason why this is the case is because under a capitalist controlled carcerally rabid surveillance state it is absolutely the only logical position.

It always begins w Convenience Creep too. So now I’m against that

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

i think the most likely scenario for AI in the workplace will be a separation between people who use AI and think it works when it doesn't, and then another group of people who don't use AI who end up picking up the slack for the AI users.

This is one of those "What does God need with a starship" moments:

Why aren't these companies just using the "AI" to make their own influencers? They wouldn't have to pay anyone, it would work perfectly and it would be just as effective, right?

Right?

Occupy Democrats post: "BREAKING: Kash Patel was just busted LYING TO CONGRESS in order to protect pedophiles! Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have successfully been able to view a slew of unredacted Epstein files, and they discovered that Trump’s disgraced and wildly incompetent FBI Director Kash Patel has been lying to Congess, under oath, in order to protect the other rich and powerful men who played major roles in the Epstein sex-trafficking ring. Thanks to pressure from Massie and Khanna, the DOJ reluctantly unredacted an FBI report naming Jewish billionaire Les Wexner, owner of Victoria’s Secret and notorious Epstein associate, as one of the co-conspirators in the sex-trafficking ring. “This is significant because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers. This is FBI’s own 2019 document listing Wexner as a coconspirator in child sex trafficking. It wasn’t unredacted until tonight,” said Khanna’s partner-in-justice, Rep. Thomas Massie, on Twitter on February 10th. The two spent two hours on February 9th examining unredacted Epstein files and were shocked at what they saw. “Most of the unredacted files were redacted—70 to 80 percent. Massie and I saw that there were six men who were co‑conspirators and were being protected. Those names need to be made public. " "There’s no excuse for releasing survivors’ names while protecting these six men. There are probably more. In just two hours, we saw that these six men were being protected.” Kash Patel’s FBI is actively engaged in a cover-up on behalf of serial pedophiles and must be fired immediately — and held accountable for his own role in protecting pedophiles."

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

The real news here is Peter Navarro saying lower jobs numbers *are good* because they (supposedly) indicate fewer immigrants are working in the US. Trump-MAGA ideology values sheer numbers of removals over pretty much all else because their top priority is ethnic reengineering.

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

Elon his entire adult life: I'm taking us to Mars!

Basically Ring advertised the technology Batman used to find the Joker that Lucius Fox refused to be a part of except for that one time.

LRS: just wanna add in a note that someone who has written a book in six months has written a book. Someone who "generated" a book in one day hasn't actually done anything.

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Theyre relieved Trump's people finally offered a plausible excuse and they no longer had to offer an imaginary one instead

why would they portray one of Trump's staunchest allies as a critic of his regime's excesses while erasing the work of actual critics? I have a theory about this

Paul: dril suspension was a mod mistake. Dude hadn't posted for a month so I dunno what happened Nottristan: so claiming nothing to do from the post from yesterday? Paul: oh look at that, he did post

They do not even bother to lie badly

The New York Times Favorite White Supremacist Influencer is AT IT AGAIN. It's wild shit. You keep hearing how the reporting is different than op but they were reporting on like Mamdanis college application from a single source and told the world Biden had Parkinsons

There's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."

Oh by all means keep him on board so as not to offend the sex offender and sex offender adjacent audience, Bari.

Don’t give in to the mob of people who are against pedophilia due to woke!

For too long the media has lost trust with the average American, we’ve prioritized the voices of elites at the expense of the working man. So please, once again, we must support this weird Epstein files freak I hired.

leave it to a bunch of people who never read the Iliad to not notice that it says in the poem itself that Helen of Troy “bears the resemblance of Lupita Nyong’o”

a line that had puzzled linguists and historians for thousands of years. Until now
