The Trump Organization is planning a Trump-branded resort in the island archipelago of the Maldives, partnering with a Saudi-owned developer and using a crypto-like funding vehicle to raise money from investors.

It’s amazing how much potential corruption you can pack into one well-written lede.

Too Powerful to Ignore, Saudi Prince Returns to Washington’s Embrace

Wrong headline

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/w...

I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in the New York Times.
/1

/2 The article and headline don’t arise in a vacuum, they arise on the front page of the New York Times, which has selected a very specific way to approach moral and political issues, characterized by detachment, both-sidesism, and trolling.

TAMU System bans courses that ‘advocate’ for race, gender ideology Texas A&M System Regents approved a sweeping policy prohibiting its 12 universities from course content that “advocates” for race or gender ideology.

Sickening these universities letting the ignorant, bigotted, racist minority of the country decide what they will and will not allow to be taught.

Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump

So "on brand" for Maggie.

About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

These fuckers never pay their fair share of taxes, then actively work to gut the very programs those taxes would pay for. Bessent used a "limited partnership" to avoid paying nearly a million dollars into Medicare between 2021 & 2023! 🤬

Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison. “If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6,

Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons and Dragons to Be Racist The fantastical roots of “scientific racism”

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Opinion | One and done: To be a great president, Obama should not seek reelection in 2012 TOOLBOX ResizePrint E-mailReprints By Douglas E. Schoen and Patrick H. Caddell Sunday, November 14, 2010 President Obama must decide now how he wants to govern in the two years leading up to the 2012 presidential election. In recent days, he has offered differing visions of how he might approach the country's problems. At one point, he spoke of the need for "mid-course corrections." At another, he expressed a desire to take ideas from both sides of the aisle. And before this month's midterm elections, he said he believed that the next two years would involve "hand-to-hand combat" with Republicans, whom he also referred to as "enemies." It is clear that the president is still trying to reach a resolution in his own mind as to what he should do and how he should do it.
