One's understanding of truth is inversely proportional to one's certainty of it.

One weird thing about Marge claiming that if she and Steve Bannon had been in charge, the insurrection would have been armed and would have succeeded is that the insurrection was armed and Bannon, at least, played a key role in it.

Hier berichtet der Account @Cis_for_Trans, dass die TERF Rona Duwe heute beim WDR vor Janka Kluge sprechen durfte.

Der Account bezeichnet Duwe und das zurecht als "ausgemachte Verschwörungstheoretikerin".

Es ist ein Elend, überall.

“Wenn ihr heute den WDR 12:10 einschaltet, kurze CN Transfeindlichkeit. Rona Duwe bekommt 10 min vor dem Interview mit @JankaKluge. Warum man eine ausgemachte Verschwörungstheoretikerin überhaupt sprechen lässt ist uns ein Rätsel. #falsebalance https://t.co/zYlcP1r7Hj”

In case you have any lingering beliefs that Matt Taibbi is a journalist, @emptywheel is here to show you why he is absolutely, positively not.

Elon Musk's Self-Described "Crime Scene" - emptywheel

As Elon Musk went from pondering that "Anything anyone says will be used against him in a court of law" to labeling his own site a "crime scene," he ratcheted up attacks on people who tried to prevent some of that crime.

McKinsey's involvement in the Saudi effort to launder their reputation through golf sponsorship is almost as predictable as Trump's involvement.

Confidential Records Show a Saudi Golf Tour Built on Far-Fetched Assumptions

McKinsey documents suggest the Saudi league is far off-track for success. Experts say the analysis shows it was never just about profits.

I wish it were more complicated than Elon just hates multiracial democracy. Elevating this conspiracy when Bolsonaro is searching for excuses to foment a Jan6-style insurrection is beyond irresponsible. It’s being an accessory. And that’s his whole agenda, undermining democracy.

Politico put it this way:

"The former president and the person that polls show is still the most likely GOP presidential nominee in 2024, today on Truth Social called for the suspension of the Constitution."

This poses a problem for journalists who would cover the 2024 election. By what logic can that coverage proceed?

Neutrality makes sense only within a constitutional order that his candidacy is trying to upend. "Just report the news" pretends this will be a normal campaign.

This is shockingly bad journalism. The WaPo wants us to sympathize with Trump's surgeon general because he finds it hard to get hired. It briefly mentions a few of his worst statements but does not make him answer for them. This is the guy who tweeted, “Roses are red/Violets are blue/Risk is low for #coronavirus/But high for the flu."
