The picture is of Kirk Douglas, who’d never support Trump, but the text says Kirk Cameron, who does.

This was when he was working for CNN. I think it was during the Biden years.

He used to be better. He linked a piece I wrote analyzing Sinclair Broadcasting a while back and shared a lot of stuff criticizing media consolidation.

Actually that’s true. Benjamin and Adorno totally hit.

But also the moment has passed. Not one of my students watched the CBS evening news with any regularity, and even most of their parents didn’t.

A lot of media theory from the 60s-90s or so no longer holds up. I taught Chomsky before the Epstein stuff came out and even that seemed dated.

At least the SNL gags only last five minutes.

ICE Moves Minneapolis Fleet to Williamsport Detention Warehouse As ICE builds out a detention infrastructure across the mid-Atlantic, equipment from its Minneapolis operation is heading to Maryland.

Roughly 100 ICE vehicles are on their way to a warehouse in Western Maryland, as signs mount of an impending operation here.

Yeah, I registered for classes either in person or by phone (!) well into the 1990s. First email address was, I think, 1995, the year I started my PhD.

It was definitely over after Sandy Hook. The Parkland survivors gave it everything they had, but it was pretty much over by then.

Really useful for those of us looking to see what Democratic Party leaders are saying.

Yeah, I'm disappointed that Reuters is pushing this (which is why I initially shared it).

FYI: bsky.app/profile/fare...

Yes, forgot to mention that, but that was my source.

Agree. If true, it’s also possible someone who is even more of a hardliner will be elevated to power.

Wow.

I've thought about this a lot. I'm fully convinced that you're right. Huckabee more or less says this openly.

I was raised in an evangelical household and these parallels have been clear to me for a very long time.

Evergreen quote.

They're not wrong.

Emergency protests against war on Iran in cities across U.S. Act Now to Stop War & End Racism

There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.

That's just brutal. Even Republicans should be (yeah, I know) lining up to support this measure.

Noah's talking about the ones who were killed in the bombing of an elementary school in Iran this morning.

The failure to punish the architects of teh Iraq War helped tee this one right up. Not to mention the failure to punish Trump for, well, anything.

I said it at the time. Clinging to Israel was gonna cost Democrats the election (and worse). And here we are.

What?!? I can't even begin to fathom how they came to that conclusion.

Has anyone ever been paid more to be more frequently wrong than David Brooks?

Absolutely monstrous. And Israel and the US have the audacity to claim self-defense.

Agree completely. Tired of people calling it a distraction. They're not killing Iranians reluctantly. They're doing it because they want to.

Just a colossal dipshit.
