@FAIR It really is something for the #NYTimes to run a review accusing a writer of being factually inaccurate, and then when people point out that it’s actually the review that's wrong, quietly delete the charge and replace it with a different criticism.

#DeSantis is on track to pass a blatantly unconstitutional law, ostensibly to protect "everyday citizens" from defamation. In fact, it would do the opposite: It would give powerful politicians (like govenors) the same right to sue media outlets that private citizens now have. https://www.commondreams.org/news/florida-bill-desantis-sue-critics#media #FirstAmendment

What is this op-ed other than a long list of micro-aggressions supposedly experienced by right-wing students--including the use of the word "micro-aggression"?https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/01/opinion/campus-conservative-freethinkers.html

When a group has been identified as a bogeyman by the right, centrists will sign off on the most absurd claims to avoid being identified with them.https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2023-03-02-right-wing-transphobia-panic/#LGBTQ #media

"To court #rural and #workingclass voters who had supported a Republican in the district since 2011, she had to speak to them in a way that her party’s left wing usually does not — to acknowledge their economic fears...."When are #leftist #Democrats finally going to start acknowledging economic fears??https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/09/opinion/marie-gluesenkamp-perez-democratic-voters.html#DavidFirestone #NYTimes #media

If Ukraine has the right to reclaim a separatist region by force, then China also has the right to reclaim a separatist region--right?And if the United States has the right to defend a separatist region with its military power, then Russia also the right to defend a separatist region militarily--right?

"Just three years after the Holocaust, Arendt was comparing a Jewish Israeli party to the Nazi Party, an act that today would be a clear violation of the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism."Hannah Arendt would also have her Hannah Arendt Prize taken away from her.https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-weekend-essay/in-the-shadow-of-the-holocaust

I worry that the crowdsourcing of interestingness that Mastodon strives to eliminate is actually a core function of social media.

@wjmaggos It tries not to do that. I fear that this choice fundamentally hobbles Mastodon as a tool for social communication.

#Mastodon has made it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be a replacement for #Twitter, but the 2024 election made it abundantly clear that Twitter needs to be replaced.Hence the rush to #Bluesky.

I suspect there are many people happily posting on X who wouldn't be caught dead driving a Tesla.

Neither the New York Times or the Washington Post had stories on their front pages today about the biggest anti-Trump protests since he returned to office.

The New York Times had a photo, with the caption "A Day of Protest: People gathered around the country, including in Asheville, N.C., to voice opposition to Trump administration policies. Page 18."

The Washington Post had a thumbnail at the bottom of the front page with the blurb "Metro: Thousands gather in DC as protesters rally across the US against Trump."

Trumpism depends on "us" hating "them" as much as vice versa. Refuse to be manipulated.

"Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."The thing is, the ideological core of Trumpism is QAnon. And at the heart of the QAnon conspiracy theory is the idea that there is a vast network, involving large numbers of elites connected to both parties, dedicated to organized child abuse. Epstein, they believe, is the tip of the iceberg of this conspiracy.

The leading voices of MAGA are ready to declare a police state over the killing of Charlie Kirk -- carried out, as it appears, by someone even further right than Kirk.
