no no no no miriam cates LOST! We don't need to hear her on the radio now, you see. Because she didn't get elected! I know it's a reflex, but she's just another citizen with bad fearmongering opinions! This is how democracy works.

Everyone who sees or hears the media, especially the “balanced” BBC, doing this needs to complain directly to them. Already BBC news talking about farage and 4 seats in the hourly headlines, and ignoring the Greens’ 4 seats

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Looking at the surprise expert appointments, and hoping it’s a good sign. I suppose it’s harder to simply employ clueless but clubbable numpties to sort things out if you didn’t go to school with them. Have to cast the net wider.

If Democrats are confused about how to handle tough questions about their nominee's fitness for office, they can just look at the thousands of examples of Republicans avoiding, deflecting, and redirecting similar questions about Trump over the past 8 years.

It's not fair, but there's a kernel of truth to the fact that Trump's fascism isn't considered news because it's not new. That's one of the most basic aspects to newsworthiness taught in Journalism 101. Something by definition needs to be new to be considered news. That's why it's called that.

Local crime never features on the main page of the NYT. But now that Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe watches are being targeted… Violent crime is a traumatic episode regardless of the price of one’s watch and this coverage is remarkably oblivious of its tone.

tbh, i don’t aim to accomplish much. not everything must be leveraged for “accomplishment.” i think so much of what makes us human is found in things you can’t reduce to function or value. we use social media for all sorts of things; if those things matter to good-faith users, that’s enough.
