The Man Who Wrote Protostar Is Dead. - by Jesse Pohlman

In 2011, I wrote a Star Trek-Esque semi-utopian space opera set in 2483 under the belief that things were getting better. I was wrong, and I want to talk about it.

Hello friends! Time for this week's #TheProgressiveCafe over on #Substack . Today we talk about #MSNBC hiring Ronna McDaniel and why it's a terrible, terrible idea.

https://theprogressivecafe.substack.com/p/nbc-and-msnbc-hired-ronna-mcdaniels

NBC & MSNBC Hired Ronna McDaniels Because They're No Longer "Leaning Forward."

The once-proud bastion of liberal, even sometimes progressive journalism has sold out. No more, no less.
