I’m skeptical that Chuck Schumer would support efforts to investigate and eliminate corruption involving the Tech Bros. That is my concern. Feel free to talk me out of it.
Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social · 6d agoIn the wake of the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal, Chuck Schumer “intervened on Facebook's behalf…, telling a prominent Dem critic of the company to back off”.

When I was a Capitol Hill reporter, I had a well sourced story I wanted Adam Jentleson to confirm because it involved Harry Reid. Instead of doing so, he upbraided me in a room full of his coworkers, telling me I was such a bad reporter it was impossible for me for have sources who knew anything.

No one is more pathetically defenseless against his own appetites than a middle-aged straight man getting his first taste of social capital.
You could not honeypot me with an extremely beautiful spy who laughs at everything I say, I simply would not fall for that. A generally average-looking spy with one distinct visual thing (weird fashion, too many piercings, cool scar) and two confusing personality quirks, now you're stirring the pot.

Dems taking power in the states should seriously consider this because it breaks Republican power but also because people will like it! Buying a car sucks. Getting fleeced sucks. You want affordability? Joyfully pick a fight with every scam industry and be seen doing it

Remember: if it was incredibly hard to convict Russell Brand, whose on-stage clown persona was “a gigantic in-plain-sight cartoon sexual predator”, based mainly on what the public and his peers knew about his actual behaviour, just think how many nice guys are just getting away with it.
On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:
