Is there any evidence this is happening at Ars Technica? They’re pretty transparent about their methods, and obviously tech-savvy. Just because it happened at Teen Vogue doesn’t mean it’s happening at Ars. Conde Nast publications seem to be run pretty independently. Take The New Yorker, their content remains amazing and seems fully independent.

Tbf, I didn’t read the article. But the title…

Say no more. Please

That’s why he was fired

the fuck you talking about

It would also task the Justice Department’s antitrust division, which brings civil suits to quash alleged anticompetitive practices, with enforcing the law.

Lmao

The 1936 USSR Constitution was immediately followed by The Great Purge and only lasted 40 years

Does anyone have the numbers on how many people in the US received any sort of gender affirming surgery prior to age 18 in the past decade? I’m going to guess that number is 0.000015% of the population or less.

How many teenage girls got boob jobs with their parent’s permission during that period?

Mistakes and regrets are a fundamental part of how we grow as people. What you learn from them and how much attention you give them later (e.g. letting go vs. dwelling in shame or anxiety) are what really matter

Trump and his aides have pressed war planners for assurances that chaos produced by any U.S. military action would calm down in time for the midterm election season to kick into high gear.

He has no idea what he’s dealing with here. Iran is not Venezuela. I wonder who in his administration is pushing this and feeding him info about Iran, because he certainly doesn’t care about this independently

No one’s claiming black and brown people aren’t disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. I’m saying the argument that “no one cares when it’s a brown person” is patently false, and that the government-sponsored murders that occur on video are the ones that elicit a strong reaction, regardless of skin color.

Rodney King being brutally assaulted by LAPD was also caught on film, and it also made huge waves nationwide. Two of those officers went to prison and Rodney King was awarded $4 million in damages

I get where you’re coming from, but your argument is completely undermined by the fact that this murder wasn’t captured on video (in addition to only finding out about it 11 months later). The video really is everything. You might recall another person murdered by government officials on video by the name of George Floyd, a black man, whose murder made some pretty serious waves.

I think that’s a huge leap. Talarico’s positions are way left of the Democratic establishment, why would they be more “scared” of Crockett than him? He’s got Zionist groups actively campaigning against him because he’s forthright about the Gaza genocide. He’s setting his campaign up against the wealthy and openly criticizing the Democratic party’s subservience to wealthy donors. There just isn’t that much difference between their political positions, and I don’t get your angle.

Here’s a recent headline:

Texas Jewish voters alarmed by James Talarico’s Israel rhetoric

Local leaders said that, without improved outreach from Talarico to address their concerns, they’re likely to vote for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary

I agree, though after listening to both of them a bunch, I’m supporting Talarico in this election. I hope to continue to see Crockett’s star rise though

You can still (and should) watch it on YouTube!

Entertainment is getting worse and you’re getting old. The media landscape has fractured, and there are no dominant cultural touchstones anymore. You’re looking for media in all the ways you used to, but everything is different now. There is still plenty of amazing long form content on YouTube, and lots of great movies. You have to do more seeking now, though, where before you could just open up YouTube or turn on the TV
