That's a funny way of saying "Boo analysis of the facts, yay short quippy disinformation, and no I don't want to revisit what I was saying about his marijuana policy"

Yeah.

I mean, the one point towards fairness: It's clear that that's actually how he sees it. If he were trying to engineer some boost for Trump by cleverly slanting his coverage, then he would have obfuscated it with how he answered this question. His answer shows that he clearly just believes that's how the world is: Trump is popular, Biden is unpopular, and they need to accurately reflect that in their political coverage and there are no other relevant objective facts that should impact that decision.

Which is not like I'm trying to insult him personally for that being how he sees it, but it does mean he has no business being a journalist. If you tend to freeze up under stress, then no shame about it, but it means you can't fly an airplane for a living.

Corals: Seek out safe places by determining where it is that their relatives aren’t suffering and dying

Humans: Just make a home here it’s totally safe 😅

NYT story with quite a bit more complete context, but there's still a little gap in the footage of their story. See if you can spot it:

  1. He was in a verbal disagreement with employees
  2. One of the employees punched him in the face
  3. His family and the police show up simultaneously
  4. His wife gives him his 1-year-old child to hold
  5. ???
  6. He and police are fighting

I want to see the bodycam footage

It is ok. I actually prefer the internet as a niche phenomenon. I was on it and I was the only one, and I was cool with that because it had all kinds of nerd stuff. Now it's all normal people stuff and hostile nonsense and money, and I'd kind of like to just have the unpopular nerd internet back.

Full transcript. The excerpt in question starts on page 82 of the first interview session.

I actually really recommend reading for a few pages. Obviously it's interesting to see the primary source and judge Hur's claim about Biden not remembering when his son died, or flip to some random page and read a little and make an evaluation of Biden's mental fitness. But the little section that begins with talking about Beau dying was just really unexpected to me.

Yeah. The unpleasant situation this person is describing is also described by the Dark Forest Internet theory, which also includes more of a plausible solution, as opposed to purely terror and resignation.
