      ok so what I'm reading is that you're one of those people who moved to the right and instead of accepting this about yourself you've decided the entirety of society changed instead

      social and technological progress will stop if we don't get to make jokes about trans people

      probably one of the dumber things I've ever read

      I’ve been reading Greenwald and Taibbi for ~17 and ~22 years respectively, and in that time they have remained stalwart civil libertarian liberals, which is where I was 20 years ago, having since moved radically chibi-hammer-sickle Nonetheless, I still pay attention to them for their excellent, reliable journalism.

        There are better journalists working that don't have the reactionary baggage those two have. They're just broken clocks at this point.

          I think they’re decent fact digger-uppers, but yes ultimately they’re libs and therefore sometimes have reactionary takes. I know that going in and ignore their shittier takes.

              Max Blumenthal has got some dumb COVID-19 takes, but he still does some great muckraking, and muckraking is hard to come by these days.
