Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

He’s so smug and proud of himself for his “gotcha” question, and I hope this incident helps him realize that his political/rhetorical role models have inspired him to shit himself stupid across the entire internet

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Exactly! THIS country IS barbaric! Is and has been! The hand-wringing is bizarre to me. Yes - they're doing something barbaric with impunity and boasting about it! They do this all the time!

My point is that public executions did not end 100 years ago. And people have been screeching in my mentions for hours about it because the violent history of whiteness in this country and the way that violence is exported around the world is apparently too much for some of you to bear.

I've been on this shit for decades. Local biz/govts/etc should NEVER have made their main web presence a Facebook page. I know building and maintaining site can be expensive, but, it'd be worth it! Some folks dont have FB accounts & cant even access when their town council meeting is anyway, for eg!

Growing up in central Ohio I remember fighting with my parents about wearing a coat because I didn't want to cover up my cool costume! I'd leave the house with the coat, swearing I'd wear it, then ditch it at a friends house or in a bush or something to retrieve later first chance I got 😈

The Atlantic is easily one of the worst publications out there today. They are hopelessly addicted to publishing morons.

I was thinking recently of the nursery rhyme, Rub-a-dub-dub, w similar incredulity. What were they doing in the tub together? Thats a big ass tub to fit three grown men! Now they're all out to sea?! Who will make the bread, cut the meat, and dip the candles?! How did this situation come to pass??

the upbeat tone of the song Splish Splash belies the horrific nature of the events described therein. you were minding your own business taking a bath when a passel of miscreants broke into your house to party? and you didn’t call the police???

there was a vibe shift and it still pertains: Everything Fucking Sucks and Is Too Fucking Expensive and Violent and I'm Fucking Terrified of the Future and the Assholes in Charge Do Not Give a Single Shit So Fuck Them

What was really up with all that "vibe shift" stuff after the 2024 election? Like, what was the environment like, what was going on with members of the media that they bought this? I'm genuinely curious.

A big part of my disappointment with Democrats comes from over 25 years of writing about politics and media. I have seen how a gang of idiots on the right has dominated discourse and whipped the media to be their poodle. The unwillingness of Democrats to try is literally the worst thing.

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

Tilly Norwood, like Bryan Johnston and the glasses eugenics couple, are just fronts for PR firms that specialize in filling inches on slow news days

Angus Johnston@angus.bsky.social

One thing I’ve noticed about the Tilly Norwood media blitz: There’s a lot of talk about an upcoming movie, but very little evidence that that movie actually … exists.

I do not understand the folks furious at trans people for responding in anguish when the party that they've been told would protect them treats their existence as negotiable. I do not understand thinking trans folks have political power and responsibility where candidates have none.
