"Not explaining it very well" isn't really the problem, is it? Markets aren't focused on Trump's communication skills; his ignorance and hubris are more determinative. Reductively characterizing every volatile act as a messaging issue is how we got here.

And "brief" pain? Was Biden given that?

Two low flying passes with attack helicopters over anti war protestors is the sign of a healthy democracy right?

i strongly disagree we got absolutely bodied in 24 on the "insane people who have no idea how anything works" vote. literally every single person i know like that voted for trump bsky.app/profile/halc...
In fairness, I think we are at 50/50 there, it's just that "I voted for Kamala because she had the most presidential hair" doesn't get you 7 calls a week from the NYT as a "Real American" the way "I voted for Trump because he has the most presidential hair" does.

How important is the major security breach to the New York Times? Not terribly. Note font and location, just barely above the fold.

100%: Feting smug Alex Thompson last night - another opportunist with a book deal out to make a buck - is appalling:

"This is utterly cringeworthy. An organization of sheep who bow down and capitulate to Trump giving an award to a reporter because he was super tough on Biden."

"Sheer drama?" Drawing a parallel between a humanitarian who sought to correct economic inequality and societal malaise and a despot who places figurative and literal handcuffs on the nation is specious. The palpable strain has the stench of mediocre speculative fiction, not historical analysis.

Anyone who believes we need to "move past" 1/6 to "heal" should be denounced. In 14 days the convicted felon who ordered the historic political violence will be inaugurated, proving only that we're a nation in steep decline. Accept that fact: you can't heal what you refuse to see as a deadly wound.

The fact people didn’t pick up on trans sports bans being bullshit after the chess one makes me really disappointed in people

And a clearer picture of the Jeff Bezos influence over the editorially corrupted @washingtonpost.com is decidedly starting to emerge.

Every year on the anniversary of John Lennon's death, the National Trust leaves the bedroom light on in John’s childhood home, all night. 44 years ago today he was taken; I was living 10 blocks away from the Dakota, and will never forget it. h/t to Michael Warburton.

And do not skip over the Democrats who anointed Noem.

And let's not forget the 7 Democrats who confirmed the-nightmare-that-is-Noem, including the "homeland security expert," Elissa Slotkin, and my senator, @andykimnj.bsky.social. They need to own their error in judgment. Because these errors fuel tomorrow's crises.

Only 6 weeks ago, we were smugly tsk-tsking media platforming a volatile guy who dumped a bear carcass in Central Park, beheaded a whale, screamed at a hiking mother and child, compared vaccine policy to the Holocaust. He's about to oversee public health. And we wonder why we feel dispossessed?

What a genuinely bizarre thing to find cringe at this awful year's end, condemning a song that raised almost $200 million to end starvation. Am I the only one to note the irony here?

So what kind of odd 2024 Friday was it? Chris Hayes had an ick attack over Bob Geldof's 1984 "Do They Know It's Christmas?" a song that made $178 million to stop famine in Africa; Hayes finds its 'tude cringe. And a guy from Africa who gave $277 million to Trump lost a bid to control the House.
It's the time of the year when "Do They Know it's Christmas?" randomly pops up on the spotify holiday playlist and I'm shocked *once again* at how utterly tone deaf and condescending it is. I know I'm not breaking any new ground but MY GOD.

"So let's roll out the sleaziest bottom of the barrel - the lowest of the low - right at the outset, and shake up the libs and lib media. Then everybody else will look statesmen-like in comparison and slip through!"

"I want you to pick up your remote, and then switch on Morning Joe for the very last time. And then I want you to spit at the television, then spit again, and then turn them off! Turn them both off for good!"

Know who's following you here, too and handle new follows accordingly. Investigate each one. It's a stimulating new place to gather, to feel safe-er, cherish solidarity, shared values, intellectual curiosity. But it's fraught with the potential for corruption, just like every site. Block as needed.

Why haven't Democrats demanded a hearing with Vice Admiral Yvette M. Davids, in charge of the Naval Academy? And the Dean for Information Services and Director of the Academy's Nimitz Library, Dr. Alan Karass? Why were Hegseth's book removal edits honored without Naval Academy accountability?
