It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Going to The Super Mario Movie for the plot is like going to Applebee's for the grilled branzino.

We really got to the point where video game streamers have to moderate Twitch chat conversations from spoiling The Super Mario Galaxy Movie—a film supposedly woven by a paper thin plot—five days after its premiere.

You know I don't do drugs because I can't do a one-handed dressing on my other arm.

me explaining to my child: see, not all the distant objects are rendered yet in the early morning hours. because of this, mother nature uses a technique called “morning fog” to help obscure the limited draw distance and prevent items from clipping into view while they load

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

This is a really well done piece, but unfortunately now that the truth is out there absolutely nothing will happen. Nobody will get arrested. No assets will be seized. This unelected kid deciding the fate of millions will continue to do so, cashing in all the while www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

There is no bottom for the Republican Party. It is a force for evil I’ve watched for my entire adult life (I’m almost 49). This is why I can’t stand calls for bipartisanship or demonstrations of the old boys and girls club. They’re fucking monsters who ruin the very fabric of society.

T’ruah CEO Rabbi Jill Jacobs and 11 other T’ruah-affiliated American rabbis were detained by the Israeli army Wednesday morning while accompanying Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest in the West Bank.

The folks who were going to protest the Bergen St. bike boulevard and bus redesign on Thursday are now doing it on Saturday morning. The white women organizing this have coopted BLM imagery, and they've dropped the fact that they're protesting against "fast buses" from some versions of the flyer.

Would anyone like to buy me a Sydney roundtrip flight ticket?

Just going to be straight here — no pun intended: I am the only journalist who has been covering this issue in depth, was often the only journalist at hearings, and was the only one explaining what DOJ was actually arguing here. Support my work if you can: www.lawdork.com/subscribe

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

the political part aside, it seems like a pretty big problem that a social media company controlled by a conglomerate that includes two Hollywood Studios is banning an account dedicated to a film from one of its competitors!

And just yesterday: Meta restricted Brazilian president's Insta accounts during the election while "recommending the profile of challenger Senator Flavio Bolsonaro." What's it going to take people to get off Meta products? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

🚨🚨🚨 Meta just took down the No Kings instagram page with 3000 events happening around the country today

TikTok has (per the Hollywood Reporter) banned the account for Alex Gibney’s documentary “Musk” citing “political content” that ostensibly violates its policies. The movie is in theaters and here’s how you can see it. Please share. bleeckerstreetmedia.com/editorial/fi...

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

The Bob's Burgers illustrators love accurate buildings and infrastructure, down to the framing, plumbing, wiring. The boiler has an expansion tank. The power poles have transformers wired up just like they should be. There's a gas meter in the alley. The under-sink plumbing is detailed and correct

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.
