For the first time in two decades of polling, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians (41%) than Israelis (36%), a reversal from 55% to 26% in Israel’s favor before to the October 7th attacks. Even 57% of Republicans aged 18 to 49 now disfavor Israel.https://t.co/A1nure5zJO

Also - it’s never been enforced. The underwriting bank would have to sue for breach of contract. I asked AI for “best example” of lock-up breach lawsuit. It couldn’t find one. Try it yourself. Find a counter point, PLEASE share.

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

If someone is telling you, you are subject to a lock-up agreement, and your firm signed nothing with the lead underwriter, they are either lying or misinformed. Lockups are a silly contract with underwriter (primarily to help engineer a secondary). Prove me wrong. I’ll correct.

Unmistakable boos for Trump when he’s shown on the MSG big screen.

The LA mayor stuff is the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard & makes no sense. Dem establishment/Bass wanted Pratt, not Raman, to advance.

Bass crushes Pratt in a 1-on-1 by 18 pt, while Raman beat Bass by 4.

Pratt's the rarity in LA less popular than the unpopular Bass!

Did Speaker Johnson think something was wrong in 2022 when it took weeks to count the California ballots - resulting in Republicans winning several tight House races?

BREAKING: '60 Minutes' journalist Scott Pelley releases EPLOSIVE receipts proving CBS boss Bari Weiss pushed Trump's LIES about ICE's killing of Renée Good’s, when video evidence obviously said otherwise!

In a video interview with The New York Times, the just-fired 60 Minutes correspondent said he believed CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss was repeatedly trying to steer coverage toward narratives favored by the Trump administration, most egregiously over the on-camera death of Good from multiple angles.

Pelley said Weiss communicated through then-executive producer Tanya Simon that the segment should portray protesters as more violent, and to describe Good as driving in the direction of the masked ICE agent.

"The video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving toward him, but that's what the president said about that and that's the way she wanted it described," Pelley, who has eyes like the rest of us, recalled.

That allegation goes to the heart of journalism. Governments make claims every day, and it’s a reporter’s job to verify them, challenge them and compare them against evidence.

Pelley said the issue wasn't as much Weiss wanting to parroting the White House’s version of events, but the analysis of events after the next-day news cycle.

"My impression at the time was that she was putting a thumb on the scale on behalf of the administration," Pelley said.

He said this kind of pressure became a recurring pattern, always more from the president, more from his underlings.

“There's nothing wrong with reporting those views, but it was never enough,” he said. “It was always – more from the president, from the administration, that sort of thing. The balance was off.”

Ironically, Bari Weiss built much of her public reputation arguing that journalism should resist ideological pressure, follow the facts and challenge consensus.

Now, Pelley confirms she is pretty much doing the exact opposite, and it turns out we have a Trump-allied hack is at the helm of the venerable 60 Minutes, the jewel in the CBS News crown since 1968.

Pelley didn’t say it, but the implication is clear. If 60 Minutes, a bastion of American journalistic integrity for the last 58 years, goes down, exactly where are we in America right now?

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

Karen Bass rigged the election in Los Angeles so that she could face a more threatening challenger from the left in an overwhelmingly liberal city rather than a challenger from the right at a time when MAGA is the most toxic political brand. Very astute analysis here.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
