lol Matt Taibbi is arguing with Grok now

Matt Taibbi: "Hey, Grok? Evidence sure as hell is not “robust.” Evidence is weaker than the WMD case. You need to adjust your program to account for the awesome quantity of errors in Russia reporting and bad-faith political actors like John Brennan and Adam Schiff"

Ana Kasparian: "I supported what Trump CLAIMED he was gonna do with immigration when he was campaigning. But what we have seen is violations of people's human rights, heavy-handed ICE raids, talk about de-naturalizing citizens..." Trump campaigned on deporting immigrants and called them rapists.

This is so incredibly disingenuous holy fuck

Collin Rugg: "36-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez complains that her insurance didn't pay for her to freeze her eggs and says she spent "years" saving up for the $8,000 egg-freezing procedure.

AOC also said men who criticize her can't be trusted because they don't "understand the first thing about a woman's body."

"There is so much negative messaging that is directed towards women around our family choices, period..."

"If you have kids, when you have kids, whatever, there's so much negativity, and it is designed to... put us in a place of fear or insecurity so that we are making choices out of that place."

Or you could just have a child like everyone else in the history of humanity."
Kate Willett: "I’m all for egg freezing but I’m not going to celebrate one woman spending $10k as a feminist victory 24 hours after she laughs off a movement to stop cops from killing Black men. 

That kind of hyper individualist feminism was the worst part of “Woke 1.”"

Ryan Grim is upset that the left has never acknowledged that cancel culture existed. (It didn't exist on the left. It exists on the right, but not the left.)

Ryan Grim: "It’s kind of funny that the broad online left has still not acknowledged that a thing called cancel culture ever existed, but is willing to now acknowledge that yeah, it was crazy and we should move on. 

(Not complaining, I’ll take it, but it’s funny.)"

Aaron Maté thinks Russia's problem is that "Russia did such a bad job of explaining its message to the world" and then claims Ukraine was attacking its own citizens in the eastern Donbas. "The Russia issue is so much more complicated than it's portrayed on TV."

Glenn Greenwald and Ryan Grim are calling for a "reckoning" over Woke 1.0.

Glenn Greenwald: "This new tactic of AOC and her allies -- to giggle away their past "crazy" ideas -- should not be tolerated.

"Woke" wasn't just some harmless, zany moment. It was a sinister movement that destroyed careers and reputations for the smallest thought crimes. It needs a reckoning."
Ryan Grim: "Evan’s point that Woke 1 is still alive and unwell inside many campaigns and progressive orgs is accurate. Hopefully AOC’s knock on it here helps.

Obviously a reckoning with what happened would be preferable, but that feels unrealistic. More achievable is what AOC is trying to do here, laugh at how crazy it was and move to talking about the economy."

Redacted host Clayton Morris implies Michael Jackson was killed for being pro-Palestinian. "Michael Jackson, speaking out against--in favor of the Palestinian people. It's very convenient, then suddenly he is, he's gone."

Roger Waters has gone fully down the antisemitic conspiracy rabbit hole, claiming that the Rothschilds perpetuate both sides of wars, and they hate Iran because (allegedly) usury is illegal there.
