I remember this. Seemed like Scarborough had🍊🤡 on his show almost as much as Hannity did.

You may be on to something. My pet theory is that Morning Joe is most responsible -- they legitimized his campaign, treating him like a real candidate and not a joke early on (which I'm sure was good for their ratings). I have no actual data to back this up.

Annual reminder that Thanksgiving has nothing to do with pilgrims and natives; it was instituted by President Lincoln in 1864 to celebrate Union victories, so if you really want to observe it properly you should burn a Confederate flag.

I turn off the teevee box when ben smith appears. Sorry. Not interested.

i don’t know if there is anything i give less of a shit about than sam altman (the fuck is a sam altman anyway?) and yet the news seems obsessed with everh twist and turn in his employment saga

Also, is it that NYT genuinely doesn't know that Trump did this in the first Admin, or they just have a rule that they lie about it to hide their own role in all that (excepting the important work of a few NYT journalists on Durham)?

Greenwald spent decades trying to claim his pro bono legal defense of a neo-Nazi was on principled free speech grounds. But I really hope everyone can see now the “principles” he’s always been defending.

Elon Musk is a hideous menace to society and democracy, and it’s goddamn shameful that no one in the US government appears to have the courage to dog walk him like he deserves.

It's chilling and disgusting but Elon's lawsuit also shows that he wants to keep the news about ads appearing next to Nazi content alive for a long time. That's because legitimizing Nazi content is his goal for with Twitter, not winning back advertisers.
