“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” — George Orwell x-WaPo, 1A absolutist

🇺🇸 SOLDIER: “We moved closer to Iran, to a deeply unsafe known target. No good reason articulated.” Q: “Were these deaths preventable?” 🇺🇸 SOLDIER: “Absolutely.” Q: “Hegseth said it was fortified. What fortifications were there?” 🇺🇸 SOLDIER: “I’d put it in the none category.”

JD Vance: "Will you stand against the bureaucrats in Brussels? Will you stand for western civilization? Will you stand for freedom, truth, and the God of our fathers? Then, my friends, go to the polls and stand for Viktor Orban!"

Bezos is still under the delusion that quantity of content is more important than quality. This was the guiding philosophy for Vice, BuzzFeed, Mic, HuffPo, Gawker and so many other 2010s digital publications — flood the internet with content, don’t worry about building long-term brand value, just get as many pageviews as possible and sell display ads against them. All of these publications are now shells of their former selves. This model is even harder now with Google Zero approaching. Dumb.

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

UNDEFEATED.

The size of the @nytimes newsroom: Publisher AG Sulzberger says it’s now 2300 journalists, doubled from 10 years ago.


SCOOP: U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of imminent collapse after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, per sources briefed. w/@JonathanLanday reuters.com/business/media…

CRUEL: Ice agents arrest and deport a father and his six-year-old son today. He clings to his father in tears as his mother reportedly stays behind. The images are heartbreaking. Traumatizing CHILDREN. Splitting families. What the fuck are we doing?
