One thing that happens:
•Reporter works beat
•Reporter gets book deal based on beat
•Ground rules for interviews now stipulate: this is for book
•Reporter learns things that the public ought to know now
•Transactional agreements preclude timely disclosure.
Cf Woodward’s COVID interviews with Trump.
And it extends to Rachel and Tim too. They both like him to varying degrees, but they are also so over his bullshit. Rachel makes it a little more explicit as I recall, but Tim has some great little jabs and eyerolls.
I appreciate that the show reminds you constantly and explicitly that Raylan's colleagues often like him personally but also find him so goddamn annoying to work with. Not just the bosses, but his fellow deputy Marshals.
i would be the the 2nd Pete from Nickolodeon’s The Adventures of Pete & Pete of fucking Manichaean muppets
Start training your child NOW to defeat Barron Trump in knife combat for control of his family atomics
George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"
We should have never doubted this man
the thing that annoys me most about tankies thinking that the US destroyed the Soviet Union is not even that they think that's somehow a bad thing. it's that they won't give us, the people subjugated by that fucked up empire, the credit we deserve
Sometimes you have to be in public, when not in the Nazi bar singing Nazi songs with Nazi friends.
Even with traditional news media, so much reporting on affordability is focused on anecdotes, sometimes even absurd ones, rather than data. "This family buys 10 gallons of milk a week and they are feeling the pain" is not a story about the Fed's statistics.
Yes, the article purports to identify and account for economic news and other "Stancil factors" by looking at the SF Fed's economic news, but that seems inadequate. "Here's how much more eggs are than 4 years ago" feels like exactly the kind of social media content Stancilism is focused on.

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...
I sincerely believe that we will see a prominent American antipope in my lifetime. Not some weird crank who can't fill a church, a serious one recognized by some bishops and cardinals.
So the Hungarian opposition's big idea was Vote Harder? And they thought, what, that they could vote the fascists out?
I can only hope that today's results in Hungary are a preview of our own future, one where 2028 sees a landslide victory by a guy named John American.
Wishing a happy Brian’s Hat Day to all who celebrate.
THE FUCK YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN LIGHTING KEROSENE IN A GLASS CHAMBER 🫨
New Yorker this week: "In the 90s, William F. Buckley had tried to keep paleocons like Brimelow and Buchanan out of mainstream conservatism by banning such ideas from the pages of National Review."
Brimelow was a senior editor of NR in the 90s and wrote many articles including cover stories.
I always wonder if people like this would object to someone calling OJ a murderer.
I think a lot of people here are way underestimating how difficult it is to break a sexual abuse story *even when everybody kind of knows it* unless you can get victims on record. it is very, very hard.
Can't purchase bulk orders of ammonium nitrate anymore, because of woke.
Hate to see it
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Jason Statham is the greatest Cat 2 artist of all time because he plays the exact same character every time who is also just Jason Statham irl
I think this is the first time I've seen Trump call a specific white person "low IQ." Normally he saves that for POCs.
It could be that a lot of the campus protests were specifiically about demanding that universities divest from investments and cooperation with the Israeli government while it's committing a genocide and by and large universities are not involved with the war in Iran.
