I think a better solution is for you to stop being an asshole trying to dunk on stuff you didn't even read.

I'm here. I lurk. I also see that 1) You didn't read the article, and 2) You've offered no counterarguments to the thesis that you didn't read.

If people want that coverage, they'll pay for it, yes? Does the government have an obligation to fund a news organization in every locale, no matter how small? Isn't the EPA -- federal or state -- a better watchdog for environmental hazards than a local radio station?

The Trump Administration Also Texted Me Its War Plans Maybe it will be faster for journalists who DIDN'T get the war plans to speak up

The Atlantic’s @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social wasn’t the only one errantly sent the Trump administration’s war plans — they looped me in as well. Maybe they were trying to add some other Jeffrey?

What Does "Democrats Should Fight!" Mean? Does it mean "flail in a way that achieves catharsis and nothing else"?

Democrats want to “fight”, but what does that mean? Knitting more hats? Punching the side of the Capitol building? I think it has to mean “winning elections”.

No, I do not want to learn about the new features on your app.

No now, not ever.

Ever ever ever.

Never ever.

Until the end of time.

And beyond.

I would like to read or watch the strongest possible argument for letting trans women compete in women’s sports. Where could I find that?

Thanks for the help!

There’s an Upside to the Dummies Winning a Few Rounds We might as well make the best of this

Normally, idiots’ bad ideas don’t get implemented, and then they get to sit back and say “You shoulda done it my way!” It looks like this time around might be different.

Why Have We Gotten Bad at Recognizing Bad Guys? It's not like bad guys have gotten subtle

Vladimir Putin, Norman Bates, the Babadook, Hamas…these are bad guys, right? Not everyone is so sure. How come?

Trump’s Obviously Corrupt Plan to Use Taxpayer Money to Buy Shitcoins Is the Indefensible Thing That Republicans Must Defend Today Here's what needs to be rationalized in order to make it to Wednesday

If you’re a Republican office holder, and woke up today thinking “what indefensible thing will Trump force me to defend now?”, the answer is: “A shitcoin purchase that is equal parts dumb and corrupt.”

For potty training, I highly recommend Potty Time Elmo, partly because you often come across Elmo looking like he got drunk and passed out next to the john.

Ukraine Should Not Have Attacked Russia, Just Like I Should Not Have Murdered O.J. Simpson By Nicole Brown Simpson

Somewhere, there's someone who believes both of these angles and can read this piece as a 100% non-ironic op-ed.

IMHO, this is tragically misguided: Electric cars are good, full stop. If our priority is to fight climate change, we should encourage people to buy electric cars, and we should only shit on the concept of buying a Tesla if our priority is to virtue signal.

Democrats Have an Opening on Housing In case we want a message other than "sorry about 2020"

Do Democrats need a message beyond “That wasn’t me throwing bags of piss at cops in Portland five years ago”? I’d argue yes, and I think it could maybe be about housing costs.

Elon Thinks it's August 4, 1789 And it might be for him, but not for the rest of us

Have you ever gotten a buzz on one night and dismantled feudalism, but then you woke up the next morning and didn’t know what “dismantle feudalism” means? That’s what happened in France on August 4, 1789, and it reminds me of what Elon Musk is doing now.
