It is not a "false rumor", it is a lie. Republicans know exactly what they are doing and they want to deceive gullible voters and media. When will The New York Times ever learn?

i dunno if i were a member of the press or punditry with a national platform, in the wake of this fascist government attack on Ilhan Omar, i would start asking all kinds of questions about and doing deep investigations into Melania Trump's and Elon Musk's immigration issues

I still remember in 2015 when Trump was gonna hold a press conference clear up all the questions about Melania's immigration issues in two weeks. And then he didn't. And the press never asked them about it again.

I love film and most (heavy emphasis on most) filmmakers. So, I write about directors a lot as a freelancer and make a lot of lists. Here’s some of those lists now to help some people find directors and avoid drowning in a sea of white guys. Hope this helps 🌚

All the companies using GenAI commercials are the ones who can afford not to. Because some billionaires slashed their art and marketing departments to take more of your money directly. Unsurprising it’s mostly soft drink and junk food companies. One way to save calories? Eat. The. Rich.

The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.

If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

If your party is so fragile that someone would stay away from voting because of some rando’s social media post (an absurd notion tbh), I would argue the problem is with a party that is so weak and vulnerable and not the social media post (although I think the premise is absurd).

You can dislike someone’s work without being parasocial about it. It’s actually normal and encouraged to not love everything but not find the person to tell them you hate their thing. I do it all the time and encourage y’all to get diaries and make enough friends for a group chat.

Every star in the sky is a god, and when a dragon sought to enter the realm of gods, she was frozen, curled up in the sky. She is the moon, and as she draws magic from the world to try and escape, the moon brightens. And when she loses that magic, it darkens.

Trump should have been made a pariah on the political stage already. All the state visits, the handshakes, the attention when he speaks. A man with no credibility or conscience has been able to operate as if these things are normal. We say 'maybe today will be the day' because what else do we have?
