I’m an ally wgho has never personally thrown anybody into a pit (and never would) but when you go on and on about pits it creates economic anxiety that turns other people into pit throwers.

We have a $20 trillion dollar economy and these are people seeking safety from barbarism? The solution is to let them in and the long-term rewards will be immense.

We’ve been admonished to try to understand and respect every false notion held by Trump supporters since the 2016 primaries and I am starting to believe thIs tactic is not bringing society together.

The real issue here is it’s a political fraud — regulations thrust on people without specific accountability. Hopefully, farmers throughout the EU simply refuse and consent of the governed is restored.

Given the century of history where the US “intelligence” apparatus has tried to subvert and dismantle left wing movements in the US, this is an insane demand.

Wanting to cut off food sales to normal Russians who are not consulted about starting wars (and whose children were conscripted to fight) is not sound thinking.
The Watchmen is trending because people are "embarrassed" to admit that the HBO series is how they learned about the Tulsa Massacre. It's not embarrassing to learn about something from art instead of a history book!
As a prosecutor Giuliani popularized humiliating public arrests and perp walks of people he was then unable to successfully prosecute. He’s never even apologized.
I appeal to honest and fair minded Democrats to realize that “equal treatment under law” is necessary for domestic tranquillity.We are all Americans.The differing treatment by media and law enforcement for Trumps vs. Bidens and Clintons is a real problem for all of us to solve.

So, the government is going to wade into internet censorship, but will, I’m sure, do it’s best to claim it’s not “technically censorship.”
@joshtpm
Do you think this is because we can’t face it? I mean, go back to 2000. We also knew that the Supreme Court let Florida rig the vote against Gore. But we never... you know... faced it. Do we collectively deal with massive election fraud by compartmentalizing?

The funniest thing about this story is that it uses jay walking laws as a precedent. We should never have passed laws that value cars over pedestrians in the first place.

One of the failures of the PPP was the the gov’t avoided the implication of “free money,” when “free money” is exactly what the economy needed.

Weird to see the man who needlessly and shamelessly prosecuted hero whistleblower John Kiriakou suddenly worried about the character of our democracy.

You know you’re being ridiculous and that Colby would never have used the terms “filthy animal” and “sheep fucker” outside of this context. You ready to tap?
@mtaibbi
I started as a fact checker at Forbes. It is not a job that lends itself to handing out Pinocchios and “Pants on Fire” rankings. Issues become ambiguous. Which is why good writers use storytelling to cut to the truth, which is more than an assembly of facts.

Look, there are elements of this I plan to carry forward. Zooms with friends from far away, not spending most of my time in an office, telehealth for routine matters. But I also want to party.
It’s hard to be a public Woody Allen fan these days, with so many easily swayed detractors willing to throw away the work of a great artist, but

@ubiquity75
I agree with a lot of your points, but Substack is no more a threat to journalism than blogging was. The problem with Substack and blogs is you have to have a following to make them work. They fail to elevate new voices.

Imagine this in another context: An FBI agent at Walgreens calls the store manager to say, "These two customers are clearly married but ringing up separate transactions to double up on a BOGO deodorant promo. Not telling you what to do, but you should ban them from the store."

Your content, such as it is, suggests that people, even when writing creatively, should exhibit only attitudes that would be acceptable to large corporate HR departments, if they ever need a job. You want to hang this on the word "bigot" but It doesn't apply here.

Yay. Twitter is a platform, not a publication. Nobody who has ever worked for it has the editorial skills to moderate content.

Allen's supporters are mostly progressives, sympathetic to feminism. I object to a level of vitriol that has attempted to make it impossible for him to work creatively and reach his audience. It's gone from "I don't watch his movies" to "I don't want you to see them either."
