I do not know that the New York Times is consciously making decisions to make a Trump victory more likely, but the purpose of a machine is what it does.

Seems like "what parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with?" or "what parts of it are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal?" would be good questions for a reporter to ask the other elderly presidential candidate, but what do I know.

This is why I contend this story is just beginning. Press had no idea how to cover it. Now they have to try hard not to.

Say what you will about the various Democratic party actors in the fight over whether Biden stays on the ticket, but I can understand all of their behavior much better than I can the journalists who are trying to write their way into the camps

Serious question: What is it going to take to get the press to ask Donald Trump the questions of fitness and cognitive capacity that they’re asking Biden at every opportunity?

The “gag strip,” a short comic strip common in newspapers, is sometimes viewed as a simplistic form of humor. Yet gag strips are considerably more complex than they’re often given credit for, due in part to comics’ unique representations of space & time. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

Project 2025 is the endgame in Trump's war on the "deep state." Find out how this conspiracy theory was birthed out of the FBI trying to investigate a bunch of his staffers who were trying to rip him off in the new Ball of Thread.

something that i saw in regard to the latest abusive celebrity man that has been bothering me a lot is someone asserting that because the man in question had written sexual abuse into his work, that should’ve been a red flag to let us know that he was a sexual abuser. no. that is not how that works.

Just so we're clear, the following things are textbook bad faith: -insisting your interlocutor is lying because they have a different conclusion -selectively picking evidence -making arguments fundamentally at odds with positions you've previously taken Lot of that from the "Biden step down" camp

The upper-class Brits really have a handle on idiotic self-involved snobbery that transcends parody. They've got a history of utterly disconnected morons at the cutting edge of fucking up and even the nouveau riche aren't about to let the side down.

I fully believe that this media-led panic over Biden's fitness for office will simply shift over to Harris ... and there will be an equally frenzied media-led panic over *her* fitness & preparedness for office.

if you’re playing the wrong-rock game about Biden doing events at which he campaigns normally and demonstrates that he’s not senile, I kind of think the onus is on you to reassure people like me that you’re not going to wrong-rock Nominee Harris

I've been seeing people saying that because JK Rowling routinely uses UK libel law to silence critics, Gaiman's failure to immediately do so shows his guilt. That's incorrect, and I think it's worth talking about why - it goes to important facets of defamation law abuse. 🧵⚖️
