NYT Editor: OpenAI, I need a headline that is simultaneously corporatist, pandering to the sensibilities of the journalist class, and unconvincingly pretending to objectivity by credulously repeating the propaganda of the worst people in America. OpenAI: [becomes Skynet, starts nuclear war]

"Rather than having well-reasoned regulations that apply uniformly across the US, courts are already invalidating or upholding regulations in a piecemeal way based on the whims of judges who are in no way qualified to interpret complex regulatory issues."

One doesn’t have to be a constitutional scholar to see that the judiciary is usurping power from the other two branches. It’s simply impossible for any lege, even a functional one, to anticipate every nuance and set of facts and craft an unambiguous law for every situation.

Lauren Boebert is a high school dropout.
I don't say this to shame people who don't finish their education. But it helps underscore how all the chitter chatter about "DEI" has nothing to do with merit.
It's just a racial slur.

The Biden "regime's totalitarian grip"...from the Claremont Institute. Right. A regime grounded on free and fair elections, constitutional restraints, and the rule of law. All of which were attacked in yesterday's GOP SCOTUS decision. What nonsense.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

The NYT editorial board presents itself as like a wise adjunct group of strategists advising Democrats how to run their shop, but (a) it’s run and largely staffed by de facto Republican operatives and (b) it has no similar paternalistic scrutiny for Republicans.
