Trump TV's intentional brainrot - Salon.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite everything, I sometimes find it hard not to sympathize with Donald Trump. Like Trump, I also chose to make the site of a future climate catastrophe my permanent home. Like Trump, I live in a home more than a century old and spend each day disgusted with the handiwork of the previous inhabitants. Like Trump, I’m fighting a losing battle against decay. I can’t get too mad when Trump smoothes out the columns of the White House or paves over the Rose Garden when I look at my closet shelves s

Elizabeth Warren’s job doesn’t need to be this hard. The Democratic senator from Massachusetts is leading a cadre of largely left-of-center lawmakers in reviving the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, legislation that would curtail the worst tendencies of private equity firms.

The conductor is nowhere in sight. Do you release the brakes? And can anyone be mad at you if you do? The answer is obvious. Of course you wouldn’t. Releasing a h

Earlier this week in Manhattan, a man stepped up to a microphone at a press conference. His hands were shaking as he added his own story to the chorus of his fellow New Yorkers, and his voice cracked when he raised it for emphasis. He got the name of the mayor, Zohran Mamdani, wrong, mispronouncing it in a different way every time he said it.
