This conversation was the worst piece of slapped together content drivel I've heard or read from Common Sense or Honestly, and I've been an avid reader and subscriber since almost day one. Are Lake and Hamid employees? If so, pink slips are in order. Going off grid with the substack crew and others has freed us from the editorial club…
This conversation was the worst piece of slapped together content drivel I've heard or read from Common Sense or Honestly, and I've been an avid reader and subscriber since almost day one. Are Lake and Hamid employees? If so, pink slips are in order. Going off grid with the substack crew and others has freed us from the editorial clubhouses of the Times, New Yorker, Atlantic and the rest, about which I have this fantasy construction that they are filled with whining Lorenz's and Maddow's and so forth blubbering inanities at one another about their choice of underwear. Evidence free expectorations of ill-thought, ideological nonsense, like Hamid's on Omar, "It would be good to have a brown, headscarf wearing Muslim on the Intelligence Committee..." such as these make me think the star chamber of thought in Weiss-World is warping for the worse. (In the heat of writing here I misquote as I misremember the proper name for a Muslim headscarf, and if "Intelligence " is the actual committee from which she has been defenestrated. Whichever committee, whichever name would be an oxymoron, and she ill-suited to serve.) We are no better choosing policy makers based on religion or clothing than favored chewing tobacco and concealed carry pistol preferences (those are superficial proxies for related ideological beliefs, so what). Whatever, Lake was even worse, and other topics equally mishandled. I hope the newly named Free Press goes back to the production of fact based content and conversations/ open inquiry standing on the values of humanism and the enlightenment. I'll continue my subscription contingent on the fulfillment of that hope, but... wow, that sucked.
"Hamid's on Omar, "It would be good to have a brown, headscarf wearing Muslim on the Intelligence Committee..." I'm sure he would temper his enthusiasm if it was a Hasidic Jew wearing a shtreimel.
