I love to read 7 breathless paragraphs about this before the author decides to finally acknowledge that this sort of thing is legal and commonly done by both parties including in Alaska 👍

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Operatives aligned with Alaska Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from her Republican rival. The group worked to coax would-be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult Peltola to victory. trib.al/gWKhuWh

The NYT devoting two pieces to the Cheesecake Factory "controversy" and none to the latest rape allegations against POTUS is a good reminder that there is no attack against Obama bad faith enough that the press doesn't amplify it, while with Trump when the charges are horrendous, caution abounds.

The NY Times will publish a hit piece on the Democratic Alaska senate candidate six days before an Election but won't mention a new rape allegation against the President of the United States.

theoretically there's at least one kid that hadn't really considered being trans until they opened the mailbox, saw the mysterious transgender mailer going around in texas, and went "hey, wait a second"

another thing the Right About Everything caucus was right about from the absolute jump: the Harpers letter was never anything more than a bunch of butter-soft bigots whining about the complication of sharing social and professional spaces with people who feel safe objecting to their bigotry

Who fucking gives a shit

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.

6/ Over a meal, Rep. Clyburn asked Kao how much he was donating to Graham and then asked for the same amount, $100,000, Kao told the FBI. The FBI tallied $20,000 in contributions Kao and his family made to Clyburn only a few days after their scheduled meeting.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

I did this a long time ago over how Martin Shkreli went to prison for defrauding investors and not for increasing the cost of insulin by over 5,000% for no reason whatsoever.

i have decided to go permanently insane over commentators STILL acting like Elizabeth Holmes's public sin was defrauding investors, rather than knowingly and intentionally subjecting unsuspecting patients to inaccurate blood-test results that could have fucking KILLED THEM

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Happy 30 years this week to A Long December and the album it came off of.

Most of the covers lean into the longing, and that is important, but they can't capture the corniness. The song's load-bearing corniness is so important.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

"The contracts awarded this year to build a 30ft steel fence, roads, lights, and cameras along the part of the river that forms the southern boundary of our county total around $2.1b dollars, or about $350k per resident. Presidio is one of the poorest counties in TX. We could have used that money."

Man I really like this essay about life in Marfa, TX, watching the feds come and dick around, trying to build a wall, leaving, perhaps coming back, and just generally menacing "the most beautiful place on earth" by @dessertrat.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/the-most-bea...
