  • As somebody who's served in a grand jury, it really is humiliating for them.

    Not sure to what extent the process differs there, but in my experience the process is managed by a district attorney or assistant DA, and testimony for cases is a parade of mostly cops and prosecutors with a sprinkling of state's witnesses for especially dramatic cases. You literally don't hear from the defense at all (by design). And it's constantly drilled into you that this is just a preliminary stage -- you're not voting whether they're guilty, just whether the matter deserves further scrutiny in court.

    To have that level of bias -- before whatever unprofessional/extralegal bullshit the incompetent administration team pulled -- and still get not just a failed indictment, but one with ZERO votes from the grand jury (which are typically larger than the traditional twelve) is hilarious.

  • I've seen this criticism a lot, but as somebody who has Politico in their daily news rotation I just don't see it myself. It definitely has a voice and perspective -- insider-y, pro-Western, well connected to internal party drama -- but I've never really noticed a right-wing editorial bias or agenda. It frequently features stories critical of Trump and Republicans, and doesn't seem to engage in unreasonable hit pieces on left-wing figures. Worst you can say is they sometimes have sections sponsored by corporations, but these are clearly labeled and not especially shill-y.

    Are there particular headlines or stories that people think are examples of the kind of bias that should make people avoid reading them? Axios, for example, feels like a much bigger offender.

  • This was not true in 2024, according to Pew. The trend may reverse without Trump and/or after touching the hot stove, but recent elections have shown that Republicans made big gains among low-propensity/low-information voters while Democrats have gained among highly engaged voters.

  • There are a lot of people who grew up loving the books but strongly oppose funding the author now that she's made transphobia a central part of her identity. Assuming one is OK with piracy, I don't see the conflict in wanting to play the game for free.

  • Marge, Phoebe, Nelly, and Maude say hi!

  • I'm still baffled by the time she swiftly cracked DRM on Hogwarts Legacy, making it easy for critics of JK Rowling's transphobia to play without giving her a dime... but then filled the release notes with a transphobic/anti-woke rant. Girl, what?

  • Wouldn't re-enhanced subsidies blunt any premium rise? Also, I think the deal being discussed includes an extension of open enrollment through spring.

  • The cynical answer is that it panders to people who are fans of [X] by showing someone younger, cooler, and/or hotter reacting positively to [X]. Imagine every time you've tried to share your favorite song or movie with a friend or crush and gotten total disinterest -- now you can have dozens of people reacting with awe, laughter, and tears on demand!

  • Yeah, I applaud his cojones but this headline is just the title of a single video game forum post with a screenshot of a Facebook post. Searching around, I don't see any indication that his is the deciding vote or anything.
