just so were all clear, Musk is firing half of Twitter's staff, including huge swaths of their content moderation capability, four days before opening up identity-confirmation-free verification to the whole website which will happen...the day before a national election.
He thinks he’s being sarcastic but yes, actually, women do have hair on their faces and yes there is an entire industry of products and services around its removal
Today I’m investigating Twitter for potentially misleading Texans on the number of its “bot” users. I have a duty to protect Texans if Twitter is misrepresenting how many accounts are fake to drive up their revenue.
Sports illustrated fired him for challenging their pay cuts during the pandemic.
He ran to unseat FIFA’s president.
He challenged human rights abuses in Qatar.
RIP Grant Wahl, who’s career was as much about great reporting as it was about speaking truth to abusive power.
Ben Shapiro: Russell "Brand was 30 and she was apparently 16. Now, in the United States, crime. In the UK, not crime. The age of consent in the UK is 16 ... Scuzzy, scumbaggy behavior? Sure. Criminal behavior? No, if you're, again, in the UK"
Fox keeps cracking jokes about
@Ocasio2018
struggling to pay rent.
It’s telling that conservative media expects politicians to be rich.
It’s telling that the normal stuggle to find affordable housing is a joke to the pundits at Fox.
In America the CIA forces an international superstar to date a football player... they rig the competitions so the football player's team makes it to the final...during the game they show her on the screens and blast subliminal messages convincing viewers to vote for Joe Biden
Crowder saying like six times that he’s only getting divorced because Texas law ALLOWS his wife to leave him is the kind of shit Dateline episodes are made of
The same people who spent all last month insisting that life must be protected above any other consideration will now explain to you how children being massacred in their classrooms is just the sunk cost of protecting a single sentence written in 1789.

The image of a cop pointing his gun at Aaron Bushnell as he burns to death is truly the most succinct encapsulation of the brutality he died protesting against. His agonized calls for Palestinian freedom should haunt every public official who’s enabled these atrocities.
THE CORNEL WEST / TUCKER CARLSON CLIP IS FROM 2018 STOP SHARING IT LIKE IT’S SOME HUGE WIN. Tucker immediately followed up with arguments against socialism, he has spent the last year equating Marxism with terror, he is not your ally, he is not changing his mind.
Holy shit how do you fumble this?

Alex Berenson tells Fox viewers: "The mRNA COVID vaccines need to be withdrawn from the market. No one should get them. No one should get boosted. No one should get double boosted. They are a dangerous and ineffective product at this point."
Daily Wire host: "We know that Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people. Guess what? Shooting people is not against the law...Killing people, also, isn't against the law"

Andy Ngo doxxed a woman who was hospitalized with a fractured spine after an attack that was planned in front of him. He was never a journalist he was always an accessory to violence.
the answer to the question "why should we care about Ukraine" is because bloodshed and war, even on the other side of the planet, will end lives and livelihoods in a manner we cannot begin to imagine. And if it were raining bombs in your neighborhood you'd want someone to care.
The Tucker/QAnon situation becomes far less shocking once you remember that 4 months ago the guy accused UPS of sabotaging his super secret documents. He's not well.
I watched virtually every episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight this year, and I can say with certainty that few people engaged in a more destructive assault on the American pandemic response than he did.
In the span of six months the moral panic around CRT has become the core issue in statewide elections. Coverage of tonight needs to explicitly state that the CRT craze was an intentionally manufactured political strategy because the people who did it are outright admitting it.
Musk doubles down on his claims that there's no evidence the Allen, Texas mall shooter had white supremacist beliefs, and that

"does psy-ops" professionally.
Tucker asks Trump about his experience at the NY courthouse: “I’ll tell you, people were crying. People that worked there professionally that have no problems putting in murderers .. they were crying. They were actually crying. They said, ‘I’m sorry.’”
