This is basic Emperor's New Clothes criteria: If you, as a reporter, can't make sense of a presidential candidate deciding to dance (slightly) to music for 40 minutes as opposed to answer questions at a Q&A event, you are part of the posse admiring his amazing clothes
🎯: "Reporters still seem unsure of how to deal with Trump’s stranger behaviors. Journalists are trained to take information and make sense of it, even amid chaos. The problem is that doing so conjures logic where none exists."
At a campaign event last night, Trump got bored—and weirdness ensued. October 15, 2024 Is Donald Trump well enough to serve as president? The question is not temperamental or philosophical fitness—he ...
The worst knee-jerk reason for deregulation that I hear from everyday (often older) people is: "I survived without it." YOU did, yes, because that's how Survivor Bias works. How many people will say, "Drinking poison in my milk killed me"? Not. Many. I. Wonder. Why. [Teeth grinding increases]

“When I mentioned to Pete Wiersma, the president of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, that … the price of milk wld nearly double if foreign-born workers were removed from the industry, he shook his head. ‘I don’t think there would be milk,’ Wiersma said. 'I just don’t think we could get it done.’”

Meta’s X rival Threads is rolling out a new “activity status” feature that will let you see when someone on the social network is online. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the feature on Tuesday in a Threads post, noting that it’s meant to act as “a…
The Georgia Supreme Court reinstated the Georgia six week abortion ban. This is why I was really irritated last week with the journalists who were reporting that the Georgia ban was repealed. It was not repealed. It was struck down. And that ruling was always going to be reversed on appeal.
