That's a reason to not release the product, to not even make the product. If your lawyers advised it was okay to release the product, fire them. If you did not have lawyers to say this, fire the person who said you didn't need lawyers, hire some, then fire your whole team and pull the product.

IMO "access" has never been Jake's drug of choice; it has always been "fame"

I have so many questions but they all simplify to: What the fuck is this

This is exactly what a Weekend at Bernie's-type scenario might look like

Jake Tapper, who eviscerated Biden for the sin of growing older, has done everything but help install a chair lift in the White House to cover up Trump's deepening dementia and utter feebleness.

Thank you to @joanesposito.bsky.social and @heartlandsignal.bsky.social for having me on to highlight the incredible damage the Roberts Court is doing and what we need to do to stop them.

Yeah, there's some stuff in there I think maybe I kind of knew a loooong time ago -- and some stuff I probably did not -- but it was a really interesting refresher.

better late than never I guess

Ezra Klein Just Showed Us Everything Wrong With Secularized Meditation There’s a moment in Ezra Klein’s recent interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates that’s been bugging me.

shit's pretty bleak but at least I have lived long enough to see the Buddhists dunking on Ezra Klein:

"Coates is describing lynching, and Klein responds with a meditation about his own mortality. That’s not wisdom. That’s avoidance with a spiritual veneer."

Wait, Tyler Cowen has been writing about how to find virgins since 2009 while he was a professor at George Mason University

faltering, failing, flailing ... there are all kinds of options that are wrong but not illiterate

if only!

some dumb fuck writing in USA Today: "Democrats' poor ideas and fledgling leadership are why Republicans have made gains in battleground states. Democratic politicians must examine their leaders, or they'll never regain voters' trust."

words: what the fuck do they mean?

NPR: Poll: More Americans now agree political violence may be necessary to right the country

"More U.S. adults say Americans may have to resort to political violence" is an extraordinarily bad headline for a poll that finds 70 percent of Americans *oppose* political violence.

does this describe everything he's written or said? nah. he's capable of much better. And that's exactly what makes him so awful.

anyway, Ezra Klein has been an intellectually suspect ass whose moral compass points only to his own professional advancement for a very long time

Abortion is a winner for Democrats—a big one. The issue has flipped red state seats, brought home ballot measure wins, and rattled the GOP so badly that they even considered losing the term 'pro-life' altogether. They know that forcing raped children to give birth and letting pregnant women go septic isn't winning them any votes: abortion bans are massively unpopular-even in red states—and 81% of Americans don't want the issue legislated by the government at all. That's why l'm stunned that New York Times columnist Ezra Klein has quadrupled down on his argument that Democrats should run 'pro-life' candidates. To single out abortion, of all things, as the place for compromise is to ignore the political reality of the last three years. And in a moment when the stakes are so high-as women are literally and regularly dying-being both confidently wrong and hugely influential is straight up dangerous. Since first making the argument to fellow Times columnist Ross Douthat, Klein has defended his comments to a series of additional men: Tim Miller at The Bulwark, David Remnick at The New Yorker, and, most recently, Ta- Nehisi Coates at the Times. And while Klein has acknowledged that he understands why "people got very upset," he continues to insist that he's right.

This @jessicavalenti.bsky.social piece about Ezra Klein's latest wrongness is great. I particularly enjoyed this: "Since first making the argument to fellow Times columnist Ross Douthat, Klein has defended his comments to a series of additional men" jessica.substack.com/p/ezra-klein...

ummmmm

who wants to tell her?

(okay fine I will do it)

just stopping by to say I appreciate Ezra Klein's presence in this post.

Miller, Musk, Wiles, Ellison ... how many "shadow presidents" does this guy need?

The former John Fetterman aide who runs a new billionaire-funded think tank is now blaming our movie Don't Look Up for not singularly solving the climate crisis.

I'm sorry, everyone. My bad.

from cyberselfish by paulina borsook: It's an inability to reconcile the demands of being individual with the demands of participating in society, which coincides beautifully with a preference for, and glorification of, being the solo comman- der of one's computer in lieu of any other economically viable be- havior. Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint.

She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

"triple sabotage at the U.N." sounds like an extremely shitty Hardy Boys novel
