Any answer other than “the president is a historically stupid man only now he has dementia” is journalistic malpractice

The war makes it more urgent for journalists to call out Trump’s derangement | Press Watch The commander-in-chief is unfit for duty.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

Genuinely, we don’t talk enough about how *dumb* he is. He obviously thinks “clean coal” is some pristine type you can pull out of the ground and he couldn’t explain a tariff given every textbook in the world and an untimed test. Wild how media pretends whatever he says is normal politician speak.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

This is fucking INSANE. One for our history books to explain this god forsaken era.

NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.

“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.

We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.

Munich & Tehran: A Tale of Two Cities Viewing the capital of Iran from the capital of Bavaria (which was, 100 years ago, also the "Capital of the Movement")

These ignoramuses have spent the last ten years undermining expertise ...They have put all their economic eggs in the basket of AI—a technology seemingly designed to make us stupider.

What happens when a society seeks to eradicate the study of the humanities? That society loses its humanity.

I just hate knowing about a twist before the movie starts. Let the plot unfold in the way it's meant to!

I think Trump is cooked—and it’s helpful for us to say so, repeatedly and often.

Authoritarians use fear to compel obedience. Once people start thinking about what they’ll do once he’s gone, they’re much less likely to obey his commands.

Thanks for the heads up! What is WRONG with these trailer creators? Who's on the fence about seeing a movie until a key plot point is given away? Isn't the OPPOSITE true? (Aren't we less likely to see if we know the plot turn?)

Why Ryan Coogler Should Win Best Director for "Sinners" Ryan Coogler should win the Oscar on Sunday. Here's why.

@franklinleonard.bsky.social

Hey Franklin, I wrote about the problematic history of the Oscars recognizing the work of Black directors, and thought you may enjoy. It’s an important convo that the Oscars discourse has been sadly absent of this year.
