Yes, and between the press and the administration, they've destroyed trust in public health for a generation.
Trump and the Coronavirus I wrote a lot about the coverage of Trump’s response to the pandemic, and here is what was clear all along: He had no real plan to restore the country to health other than to peddle false hope, predict a quick end, adopt fake deadlines and shift the blame to others. The most urgent need was to test, test, test, and either he didn’t get it or he didn’t want to know the results because they would “look bad”. The media blew its coverage by letting political reporters lead instead of health and science reporters. Political reporters paid way too much attention to whatever Trump said, such that whatever it was made headlines. They let Trump set the agenda instead of letting knowledgeable people do it. Political reporters also gave Trump way too much credit for trying. They covered up for his incoherence, ignorance, cluelessness, gaslighting, and yes, just plain stupidity. They failed to properly exploit their rare access to him by confronting him with facts and piercing his bubble. They remained complacent in the face of a massive death toll, instead of relentlessly demanding more forceful action.
History repeats itself. Remember how devastatingly incompetent Trump was during Covid? How he had no plan? And how news outlets didn’t call him on it? Let me refresh your memory: presswatchers.org/category/tru...

thats fucking bot output
I'm calling it now, "thats fucking bot output" is the "please say sike" of 2026.
In fairness every one of them deserves to wear shitty uncomfortable shoes
I'm so curious to see how this plays out. The US military experts are of course correct.
The Iranian military doesn't only want to attack oil tankers. The Iranian military attacks oil tankers to lure the US military ships into the straits.
Ideally, they want a carrier.
Yes, they can sink it.
The LDS are gonna have a freak when AI resurrects dead people that the church has post-death baptized into Mormonism and they go right on chatting people up through the AI portal to the realm of the dead as if Moroni never existed and neither did the gold plates.
It's funny, he plays exactly the sorts of games I'm involved with, but none of the ones I actually watch. Come on, @northerniion.bsky.social, let's see some Dwarf Fortress! Some Caves of Qud!
Benny Johnson gives Rand Paul an open mic to make the case against Trump's war-mongering and fiscal irresponsibility.
(this is an extremely rare thing on Johnson's show, which is as safe of a space as there is for Trumpers)

Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.
If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.
If you didn't like it? They took you out.

My apes!
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
We are live now answering your Dwarf Fortess questions:
Who remembers last time gas hit $5.00 a gallon, and people started targeting big trucks at night to siphon all $250 of gas out of them?🤡
And some thieves that couldn't figure out how to siphon, just drilled holes in gas tanks?🤡🤡
No? Just me? I'm the only one that remembers that?
Cool!
This raises the obvious question of what kind of thing the Trump admin might need the National Transportation Safety Board to do that a conscientious Board member would reject.
I can’t believe a bunch of my friends almost died covering a fucking Jake Lang event.
🤣🤣🤣
"Few experts endorse the idea that the police “had nothing to do with it🤡"
Wrong.
All of the experts endorse it. Anyone that doesn't endorse it, is not an expert on crime reduction.
Because the data on this has been clear and consistent for ~50+ years.
Based on my training (having cops put a CI in my house for months) & experience (for trying to do too much anarcho-communist Black liberation with my friends), I have reasonable suspicion to believe cops everywhere on Earth constantly fuckin engage in a criminal pattern of disgusting creep behavior
Crypto remains the safest way to store your wealth unless of course an ex cop decides to break into your house and handcuff you and beat the information out of you to transfer himself $200k of your funny money and also steal your jewelry & cash

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
