David Zaslav, and everyone like him, would quite literally feed you and your family thru a machine that converted you all into a cheap fuel source if it were legal for him to do so or even just required paying a small fine.

All the US news headlines about France being in “political limbo” and “uncertainty” now are wild to read, because the actual vibe over here is “whatever, we got a coalition that kept the fascists from getting in control, we’ll figure out the rest as we go”

I have been reading The New York Times for decades. I applied to work there more than 30 years ago. But now I read Joseph Kahn's statement that the paper has offered "full and fair" coverage of President Biden, and that is enough, more than enough. I have canceled my subscription.

So yeah - if you saw my last repost? I'm absolutely going to join in every person calling out every pundit-type blathering about Biden. Also, if any of you want to jam up the Project 2025 training academy w/ fake applications? You can get temporary numbers online. Just saying.

- Biden's mental health, or Democrats in disarray. That's EASY, because it's opinion. It's blather. It's nonsense. But we should absolutely be calling them out on the fact that they clearly don't want to do the work and actually dive into some of what should really be talked bout.

Where are the pundits weighing in on Project 2025's training academy, and just who they're recruiting, and what exactly they're teaching in this training academy? (By unverified accounts, it's all terrifying, especially because it's so structured?) It's so, so easy for a pundit to opine about-

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

The perception of an inevitable fascist victory in Europe is largely just the wishcasting of mainstream media publications saying that fascist victory is inevitable. See how the BBC spins National Rally's loss.

Also: Get off your arse and vote. My constituency was won for Labour by 15 votes. A high turnout from the French sorted this. You don't vote? Well, the fash do. If you're replying to this with why it's ideologically impure for a truly left wing person to vote, please just block yourself, I'm tired.
