Hahaha. “I see Callin as potentially a critical piece of the future of reporting – a way for reporters to find and develop sources while generating content at the same time." —Taibbi sounds like a such total PR hack while boosting the latest tech oligarch venture he's joining.

There was a thread on this a couple of days ago. I didn't understand what it was about even though I read about this stuff.

It's amazing that media figures like Gray, Greenwald, Taibbi could consider taking money from Thiel. Like, an unknown evil billionaire would be fine, but an actual agency-startfunded private-transnational-panopticon-owning hillbillyelegy-politician-pupeteering blood-drinking-transhumanist billionaire?

"It's not Thiel it's his best friend from college". ok.

I'm the dope for being surprised by this, but for someone like Brianna Gray to describe herself as a socialist, to speak about her consideration of different tendencies, to make all the noises she made over the last year, and take Thiel money, is just fucking lol.

Almost as lol as me listening to bad faith for the last year.
