The throughline here is that Texas will take whatever position most hurts the powerless.

Duckfloss,

2024 is shaping up to be the largest Democratic Party win since FDR.

From your mouth to god's ears

Duckfloss,

While this is interesting, it's an op-ed and doesn't belong in news.

Duckfloss,

National Geographic is actually one of the rare instances where I would support the government sweeping in to rescue a for-profit institution.

I don't personally subscribe, but I have before. It's a fantastic magazine that helps open up readers to the wider world. It's an institution and it's sad to see it go down this way (even sadder to see it owned by Fox and then Disney).

I think Nat Geo could have a place in our modern world were it not for its unimaginative owners and their profit motive.

Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

Duckfloss,

I've found that the quality of Reddit comments has degraded over the past few years, with lame jokes and low-effort regurtitated talking points getting upvoted to the top of most threads. Which is fine. I'm full of lame jokes. But it's just not what I'm (mostly) interested in.

KBin, Lemmy, et al. seem to be better but also suffer from a lack of any commentary, interesting or otherwise. I expect that'll get better as more people engage over here.

On the other hand, I haven't been back to Reddit much since the great unleavening.

Duckfloss,

I tend to be pretty even-handed when it comes to news outlets whose editorial slant I disagree with. Wall Street Journal has done good work.

But this pre-buttal by Alito on its pages is a really bad look and diminishes the rest of their publication in my eyes.
