Gosh a breakfast burrito really does keep me full the whole day

No hate to Hasan but I like this “dickhead? Ignore” mantra as a wellness practice

I really thought this was the ol FTL game for a second, than BTC came into view

When “independent journalists” aren’t really journalists The rise of slop producers like Nick Shirley

I found this article clarifying in what is a journalist today, vs a creator adhering to an algorithm.

This Nick guy says he’s not aligned with any party. Yet, his irresponsible Somali daycare video was the precursor to the surge in ICE deployments in Minneapolis.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Do you want to vote to primary some of them Dems, though?

What an account found by this reporter, saving an ICE agent having seizures, and still being treated like this

Right. This admin fired people at her direction. Sounds influential!

It was nice following you!

A good day with a good boy (and girl)

Bari Weiss not knowing how a newsroom works

Bari’s partner writing to there daughter to cancel them

A lot of doozies in this New Yorker piece about Bari Weiss and idk what’s worse, being completely out of depth at cbs or her partner writing about their daughter cancelling them later in life www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What was her payout in the free press acquisition by paramount?

Ok I did the dictionary thing. I need to find some based activities

Going to be thinking about this while hearing cbs is first to report the US bombed Venezuela

Support Dave!

Also doesn’t understand any depth to what a social construct is

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

One can hope but…probably back to repressing my WoT show angst for another generation 😭

Is this possible?

Walgreens ends holiday pay for hourly employees The move will affect Christmas, Thanksgiving, and four other major holidays, costing full-time workers hundreds of dollars per year

No dog in this fight but this salacious little teaser piece is like peak reality tv for j-school types www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

Some of the smartest people I grew up with all jump on this same gibberish jargon, speaking to no average person. And I hate to see it.

Like you could do anything with those wits and affluence and this is where you end up. Praising power hedgers with market-structure experience. Sorry, wut?

Going to miss this walk.
