From the first White House pool report of the day, written by @svdate: “Be advised that there is no TV pool today because it is CNN’s turn and the president is mad at them.”

The story is pretty bleak for News Corp's other publications. The "News Media" segment, incl Australian and UK papers as well as New York Post, saw a 40% DROP in EBITDA for the quarter teapaw.org/katie_robertson/status…

دوسری طرف ، ایک آفاقی نوعیت کا کام یہ ہوا ہے کہ تازہ بھرتی عمر چیمہ صاحب جو اپنے فلسفیانہ دلائل سے پاکستان میں جمہوریت و آئین کے خاتمے کو جائز ثابت کر ہی چکے تھے ، آج امریکہ میں ٹرمپ کی شکست کے بعد امریکی ووٹرز کی ذہنی صحت کو بھی چیلنج کر بیٹھے ہیں۔ اب امریکی اپنی خیر منائیں

The long-time editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, @JeffreyGoldberg, left the US to go to Israel to join the IDF and work in a dungeon for Palestinians, then led the campaign, while at The New Yorker, to lie the US into war with Iraq.
His magazine does exactly what you'd expect:
The Atlantic has trafficked in this kind of ugly racism for years. Nobody should be giving this trash publication money.
A reminder that if you unsubscribe from the Atlantic we will give you a 1-year free digital sub to @curaffairs, just email proof to [email protected]

Gorynych the dragon, Koshchei the Deathless & the witch Baba Yaga meet up at the transit point in Kabul.
They’re all off to defend the revolution. Two years later they see each other again on the way home. Only one of Gorynych’s three heads is
left – the others have been chopped
off. Koshchei the Deathless is barely alive, and only because he’s immortal. But Baba Yaga is all dolled up in Montana jeans and stone-washed denim gear. Looking cheerful.
Pakistanis are from Mars and NFP is from Venus.
Smoker's corner: "PTI’s popularity was methodically cultivated, mainly by the military establishment. Indeed, the party effectively mobilised a real sense of grievance among urban middle-class voters who were exhausted by the perceived ‘corruption’ of traditional parties such as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)."

In a troubling update for news media, X is testing/rolling out in-app webviews, a shift that will heavily suppress external traffic.

For two years, writer Rebecca Jennings gathered with a group of friends each Wednesday to discuss their progress on a famously grueling book. They started with ‘Infinite Jest’ and ‘The Power Broker’ and continued with ‘Ulysses’ and ‘Gotham,’ a 1,400-page history of New York City that often reads like the world’s most tedious Wikipedia article. The Difficult Book Book Club didn’t start as an explicit strategy to wrest their attention from screens, but that’s what it became.
Twenty years ago, an adult could focus on a screen without interruption for an average of two and a half minutes, says Gloria Mark, a professor at the University of California, Irvine. In 2012, that measure was about 75 seconds, and according to studies done between 2015 and 2021, it then shrank to an average of 47. With these statistics, Jennings sought out solutions to fixing our rapidly declining attention spans.

In Q4 alone, it’s forecasting roughly $130 million in U.S. ad bookings, more than $35 million below its internal goal.
