As usual capitalism ruined everything, as soon as someone figured out the quickest most efficient way to engagement was rage bate they quickly monetized hate.
Yep. It's ruined the last bastion of free press in this country. When the NYT and WaPo no longer serves as the ultimate government watchdogs, and instead chase online traffic by posting rage-bait articles/opinion pieces, the country is vulnerable to a autocratic takeover like we're seeing right now.

Broadly agree but sternly disagree where it comes to Biden. He had a chance to take this on directly and instead put Merrick fucking Garland in charge and avoided going after those responsible for Jan 6.
Just completely feckless to go after the crowd instead of the organizers. Pure political cowardice born of a different age and failing to meet the needs of the moment.Biden, wrongfully it turns out, thought the Trump scourge was over the minute he was sworn in as POTUS in 2021. Hell, I thought so too. And his four years -- once we got past COVID -- were pretty even keel, a much-needed respite after the rough sledding from 2017-2020. He -- and the Democrats mis-calculated as they have every step of Donald Trump's political career. He's a fucking cockroach. He'd survive a nuclear holocaust. Mitch McConnell could've done this country a huge favor by convicting him for J6 but he pussed out too, or a desire for his team to hang on to power won over doing the right thing for once in his pathetic life. And then Merrick Merrick'ed and, oops, Trump is re-elected and we are in the hell that we're in.

Jeff Tiedrich is about the only thing keeping me sane these days. Another great read today. His Substack should be on everybody's daily "to-do" list.
Quotethe worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled press are not our friends, and they haven’t been our friends in a very long time — but that doesn’t make it any less galling to see them, in a time of crisis, pushing government propaganda and hatewashing divisive shitweasels.
yesterday morning, The Wall Street Journal tweeted out twaddle that no responsible news outlet should have published without first double-checking the shit out of it.
“Breaking: Ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology was found inside the rifle authorities believe was used in Kirk’s shooting, sources say.”
oh, sources are saying this, that the assassin’s bullets were engraved with ‘transgender ideology’? thank god the Journal is getting their information from unnamed government sources who obviously have no political agenda to push. praise the day. thank you for enlightening us and making our lives ever-more richer, Wall Street Journal.
first of all, what the fuck?
and second of all, what the fuck?
beyond ‘just let me be who I am,’ there is no such thing as ‘transgender ideology.’ it’s a buzzphrase created by conservatives who want to ‘prove’ such hallucinatory nonsense as ‘the transgenders have an agenda and are coming for your children.’
really, Heritage Foundation? ‘they promote a radical expressive individualism in which people are free to do whatever they want’?
wait a minute, isn’t that libertarianism? the horror. what a complete fucking nightmare for the ‘don’t tread on me’ crowd to be told that other people want that same freedom.
they ‘define the truth however they wish’? I don’t know about you, but that seems to me to be exactly the world America’s Mad King wants to create for himself, where he does whatever he wants, and defines the truth as whatever he says it is.
just seeing the phrase ‘transgender ideology’ coming from anyone in this government should have raised huge red flags in the Journal newsroom. someone should have stood up and said ‘we are being spoon-fed propaganda and maybe we should think twice before publishing it.’
but beyond that, let’s have a little critical thinking here. engraved bullets? oh please. don’t piss on our heads and tell us it’s raining.
these unnamed government sources want you to believe that Charlie Kirk’s killer, someone with the marksmanship to take down a target with one bullet from 200 yards out, was sitting there in his free time, engraving manifestos onto bullets?
come on. if you were browsing though Netflix and saw this as the premise of one of their shitty thrillers — elite assassin by day, engraver by night — you would roll your eyes and scroll right the fuck past it.
oh, and guess what. none of the shit being pushed by the Journal and their mysterious sources turned out to be true.
But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted.
‘did not match other summaries of the evidence’ is polite newsroom-speak for ‘it was a fucking lie.’
here’s a concept that seems to be eluding our media right now: one can both denounce and abhor political violence, and, at the same time, condemn hate-mongers.
but we’re not getting that from the worthless scribs. they’re over-correcting. the very same people who sanewashed Donny’s incoherent mouth-farts about sharks and batteries and Hannibal Lecter wants to have you for dinner are now are now sanewashing Charlie Kirk.
the question must be asked, is there a gas leak in Ezra Klein’s house? because I’m not sure there’s any other way to explain this:
“Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way”
oh, come on. this guy’s whole deal was to be as toxic and divisive as possible. tell me, is this the ‘right way’ to do a racism?
Consider what Kirk said about Black women leaders and affirmative action. Assailing affirmative action “picks” Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Kirk said, sickeningly, “you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously” without affirmative action. “You had to steal a white person’s slot.”
if that’s the ‘right way,’ I sure as fuck would hate to see what the wrong way is.
Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. but at the same time, he did not earn the right to be sainted.
it’s kind of ironic that yesterday was the anniversary of 9/11, because we’re seeing a lot of the cowardice displayed by the media then, being duplicated now.
During a back-and-forth with the MSNBC anchor Katy Tur on Wednesday, Mr. Dowd remarked that Mr. Kirk had been pushing hate speech, adding that “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”
Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC’s president, apologized for Mr. Dowd’s remarks, calling them “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable.”
we saw this kind of fuckery play out over and over in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks. any on-air personality who tried to analyze if the terrorists might have had a beef against US foreign policy and imperialism was unceremoniously shown the door and had their careers end up in the shitter.
look, emotions were running high on Wednesday, and maybe Matthew Dowd could have waited 24 hours before saying what he said — but where was the lie?
for fuck’s sake, explaining why something might have happened is not the same thing as justifying it.
I can’t believe that I have to explain any of this to the media.
do better, you cowards.
meanwhile, what the fuck is going on with Dear Leader’s health?
check out Donny at the Pentagon 9/11 Observance yesterday. on top of the cankles and rotting hands, now it appears that every muscle on the right side of his face has gone sleepy-bye.
where is the press? if Joe Biden had ever shown up in public with half his face at half-mast, the press would have shit a massive brick. it would be the top story everywhere. the worthless scribs would be screaming for answers.
Republicans would be calling for Joe’s resignation — and Comer Fudd would have already subpoenaed Biden’s face.
but because we live in the Shittiest Timeline Ever™, everyone pretended not to notice.

That party is way, way too online. The Elder Millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers who embraced MAGA are digital Peter Pans who all desperately want to anonymously shitpost like a 9th grader in a discord server and can't accept that they're grown ups with responsibilities and who are expected to behave like grown ups that understand their actions have real world consequences. From "Based Mike Lee" to Don Jr, these people are extremely broken but because of dark money there is no way any of them can be held accountable in any meaningful way. They're simply shielded from the consequences of their immaturity, but permitted to inflict them on everyone else.

100% this. I didn't add this into me diatribe earlier but the extent of kow-towing the American media has done the last 10 years is horrifying.
The abdication of telling the truth and being honest is a travesty.
I think legacy media (mostly print) came to a fork in the road. How do we make money in the changing media marketplace? Somewhere around that point, it lost the plot.-

I don't know what happened there. I started to post the name from that discussion and after reading a bit into it, the detective work seemed a little Kash-y. Guess I hit submit and then edited it out rather than editing my first draft before posting.
At any rate, highly doubtful you'll ever hear that name again. And I'm an idiot for posting it.

My daughter is a sophomore at Ole Miss. Just about my entire ex-wife’s family went there and she loves it there. And why not? Oxford is charming as hell and the campus is gorgeous. That place is racist AF (yet I find it hard to throw stones considering what Texas and UT is turning into).
I’m sure my daughter is one of not many liberals on campus. I drove her back for her sophomore year a few weeks back and found the best little mom-and-pop Italian place. It’s owned by a married couple. The wife came by our table and chatted us up. She was incredibly nice.
FF to a text from my daughter late last night. Apparently, the lady posted this on Instagram:
Probably not a great idea in that environment — but she ain’t wrong. They had to shut down their Yelp page after getting repeated 1-star reviews. She also served as an executive assistant to a high-level Ole Miss administrator. She’s been fired. I bet the restaurant is not long for this world either, which is a damn shame.

I don't think I agree with you here. The only reason I know the name Charlie Kirk is because of this messageboard. After his death like 3 friends talked about it. I was on a call with peers at work and someone asked outloud "Who is this Kirk guy that died? just got an alert" from a team of people who watch CNBC daily. I think if you are super active online it probably feels the way you bolded, but I'm not seeing it in real life.
The markets have been shrugging off everything. Tariffs, for the most part. Bombing Qatar (Hamas) was a huge deal with huge implications-- barely registered on mainstream media fronts. All anyone cares about in the world I see everyday has been a) Oracle's out of the blue story b) "did you see the new iphone air? when are airbuds 3.0 coming?", and most importantly and the bullhorn in every room c) AI bubble/boom. And that seems to be all the market cares about as well right now.
tl;dr Long way to say, I don't agree it feels like a climax. Kirk is not a Lincoln or Franz Ferdinand or anyone else of widespread fame/infamy. He seems to be known, loved or hated, by the chronicaly online and vocal minority.
These are the shit-bags who don't pay attention to current events and just blindly pull the lever for whatever turrible Republican candidate is on the ballot. They don't bother educating themselves or paying attention to the building burning down around them. I'm guessing they're older, probably white male Boomers that have it pretty well locked down. Nice house, kids off doing their own things, several nice vacations per year, country club membership, etc. You know, "winning."
30 minutes ago, wildcat09 said:One thing that's really gnawing at me today is the response from notable liberals to Kirk's murder. It's not that it's bad for public officials and other notable liberals whose voices carry weight to speak out against political violence. But there was an immediate rush for them to get statements out yesterday like we've never seen before. I'm pretty sure Obama never even made a public statement about Melissa Hortman's assassination, but he had a statement out within like 30 minutes yesterday. Hortman was an elected representative and literally someone Obama had met and hosted at the White House. But her assassination and the attempted assassination of another elected representative by a right winger with a hit list with like 70 more liberals on it (including Obama) didn't merit anything. That was just a fucking Tuesday, or whatever. And look at Ezra Klein's opinion today, just straight up lying to his audience that Kirk did politics "the right way." And I'm sure there's plenty of other similar statements/articles from liberal commentators pretending that Charlie Kirk was a great guy with whom they just had normal political disagreements.
There's only two explanations I can think of for this, neither of them good. First, it could just be conscious or even subconscious pre-emptive surrender on their part. Maybe they just think the fight has already been lost and they've resigned themselves to fascism dominion over America and don't want to endanger themselves. But if that's the case, I find it absolutely ridiculous. Yeah things are bad and everyone here knows I've been saying this shit is going to get very bad for a long time. But like I said yesterday, I don't know that this really gives them any ammunition to ratchet their propaganda up further because their reaction to this is virtually identical to their reaction to a million trivial things. There's already a fire raging, and this doesn't help, but I don't know that it really pours any substantial amount of gas on the fire and I still think there is a chance the fire can be contained, if not quickly extinguished. Just look at how incompetent they've been at so much of their attempt to consolidate power. Look at how fucking old and worthless Trump looks. Look at Republicans begging Pritzker to let them invade Chicago a little bit just as a treat. They are not a vigorous, unstoppable movement, and for liberals with real platforms to treat them as if they are is fucking embarrassing.
The alternative, and I don't know if it's worse or better, is that they simply view Kirk as one of "them" in a way that a lowly state representative isn't, and that they just fundamentally think people of their social status matter more than a lowly state representative, much less us normal people. That they just see it all as a game and think the players on the other side are as Good as they are, regardless of what they say or do.
Or it could simply be plain old self-preservation. Rightly or not, the right wingers who want an eye for an eye for Kirk are going to see some of these folks as just like him but on the other team. They could become targets themselves.

Flags in Texas are half mast through Sunday for Charlie Kirk as per direction from Turnip and then Hot Wheels. Not 9/11.
