@walterkirn When are you getting a new weekly show put together Walter? I really miss you and Matt in ‘America This Week’.

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

@newstart_2024 She’s right. All I wanted to do was stay at home when I had a kid. But being able to get a decent job when the kids are grown, or if your partner losses their job, is so valuable. There’s a tricky balancing act here, and unfortunately firms still issue a harsh mommy break penalty

@nickshirleyy Thank you for highlighting all this fraud. Can’t believe it’s gotten this bad. If only voters could elect a third party into office with the sole objective of clearing out fraud

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

@walterkirn ATW was already the best podcast out there. There’s got to be a way you and Matt can make peace and revive the show again. The combo of jaded investigative journalist (Matt) and a literary, passionate social commentator (Walter) was informative and fun. Please bring it back ✌️

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

@walterkirn @jonathanwsabin @mtaibbi Maybe consider a bi-weekly thing? I realize Matt couldn’t stand the pressure to have a “hot take for every topic”, but the popularity of the podcast would greatly help sales of Racket subscriptions. The back and forth between the two of you was really special.

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

@mtaibbi So sad to learn of the end of your shows with @walterkirn . I’ve enjoyed listening to you both since your first interview with him ~2021. Totally understand that you never wanted to be another media pundit - but boy were you & Walter good at it. Mainly because you were different.

Baby and pup are both dealing with a lot in their first couple years together. Good to talk it out

This is actually quite clever and funny. It must be nuking the boomers on Facebook.

Good reminder 👍

Many people stagnate trying to change what they can't instead of growing by changing what they can.

We don't control how others treat us—we control how we treat them. We don't decide what happens to us—we decide how we respond.

Our reputation is not up to us. Our character is.

@walterkirn Love that restaurant. Such a gorgeous bar!

@AlecMacGillis My fiancé & I recently moved from Seattle to Boston & the increased level of safety and cleanliness is a breath of fresh air. Seattle basically pays people to remain drugged out & homeless & it’s ruined the city. Boston has a healthy respect for law enforcement - that helps a lot

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

A consistent theme of the #TwitterFiles has been concrete evidence that Russiagate headlines were manufactured by politicians and media — the thread below blows up the absurd #ReleaseTheMemo panic stoked by @SenFeinstein, @SenBlumenthal, and @AdamSchiff, among others.

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

So much respect for @mtaibbi
Such a lonely experience to be a left leaning journalist that didn’t buy into the Russiagate story

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

The latest #TwitterFiles expose as a total lie a major Russiagate story — that the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag was fueled by Russian bots:

@MrAndyNgo Looks like someone trying to reach out from the underworld.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

So as you can see here, it is not just FBI but also CIA and many other agencies, and not just Twitter but all of the major platforms. This is not just intrusion; it's full nationalization of all essential functions. https://t.co/d0VS0NYyIh

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

@elonmusk Only after finding a viable long term CEO. Your mission to rebuild public trust has been admirable. @mtaibbi @ShellenbergerMD and @bariweiss were fantastic picks to report the Twitter Files. You don’t get enough credit for giving them freedom to investigate without interference

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Definitive evidence showing a fully integrated relationship between the FBI and Twitter's top censors.

If you're not bothered by the US Security State's infiltration of Big Tech and its ability to censor at will, then you are, by definition, a hopeless authoritarian.

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

Well said. @AbigailShrier @mtaibbi and @walterkirn are brilliant journalists with loads of integrity

[Abigail Shrier @AbigailShrier]

“Conservative” is just a smear to the MSM. It has no other meaning except to brand someone as unworthy. To signal to its readership that such a person can be safely ignored.

[Betsy Noelle Hansen @betsynhansen]

Can’t stop watching the FTX hearing at the house finance committee. It’s like catnip for finance nerds. Thank you @BloombergTV for airing the whole thing
