I noticed that the Republicans have stopped blaming Biden for starving babies, so I assume that the formula situation has improved.
Life just isn’t fair for a hard-working parasite.

Or, Matt, when you say you “haven’t chang[ed] any point of view at all, really”, that last word there is doing a lot of heavy lifting, implying that it’s not that you haven’t changed anything at all really, it’s that you’ve only changed a couple of things, and those things possibly maybe turned out to be not as inconsequential as you think they are.
You know, things like how bothsidesism apparently has a valid point now, or that people like Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan are “just” other points of view, rather than part of the exact problem you spent most of your career writing about, or that the Mueller Report “did not establish that the Trump Campaign conspired with the Russians”, when it deliberately and actively avoided even looking at that question.

We’ve all been kicked out of the club without changing any point of view at all, really.
That’s kind of the point. The world moves on with or without you, Matt.

Radical becomes Progressive
Progressive becomes Status Quo

Did Taibbi do some kind of “Chutes and Ladders” approach to the above? Because he slid from Progressive to Reactionary awfully damn fast.

Zuck’s response to the economic downturn and the need to keep shareholders happy:
Pushing Employees Out
Besides cutting hiring, Zuckerberg has found another way to cut costs: pushing current employees out. To do this, Meta will set aggressive performance goals that will be difficult for some employees to achieve.
“Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here,” the chief executive said.
“Part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might decide that this place isn’t for you, and that self-selection is OK with me,” he added.
