“the secretary of health and human services food-shamed the secretary of state by instructing AI to create an image of him spoon-feeding sauerkraut to the vice president and then posting it on X” is now a true sentence you can say before pulling your hair out.

Quite a community note here. Reminder that your taxpayer dollars are paying for these Nazi social media accounts.
Readers added context to this video: The clip is from the film Darkest Hour, and the “tiger” in this clip refers to Adolf Hitler

The Trump administration just finalized its rule stripping gender-affirming care from Medicaid and CHIP. Advocates say there's still time to fight: it takes effect in October, and federal courts have already struck down two previous attempts to do this. The latest from our journalist S. Baum.

"Election denialism of pop culture" is a great phrase I feel like it also applied in relation to The Last Jedi, which MAGA numbskulls keep describing as an illustration of "go woke, go broke" even though it made $1.3 billion, four times its budget, and was the top grossing movie of 2017

I've been told that while entry into the event is free, it also requires bag checks, no outside food or drink, walking a ridiculous distance to get in and being surrounded by both cops and national guard. So not only do people not want to be there, getting in is a gigantic pain in the ass.

5. Lastly, the platform does not just target transgender people—it targets LGBTQ+ people broadly. Its section on homosexuality opens with a declaration that would not be out of place in the 1950s: "Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice."

The Warrior-Witches of Ukraine’s Resistance
An underground intelligence network uses subterfuge and honey traps to direct drone strikes deep inside Russian-occupied territory.

For several months last year, a Ukrainian housewife, 35 and lonely in a marriage that had gone cold, traded WhatsApp messages with a Chechen commander, Achmad, stationed somewhere in Ukraine’s occupied south. They wrote about their days, their disappointments, what they hoped to do when the war ended. She asked about the front. He told her.

“Send me a picture,” she said. “I want to see your life.”

One afternoon, he obliged—a photograph taken inside the barracks, of himself and another soldier grinning for the camera. Behind them, pinned to the wall, was a map of the compound showing the unit’s position.

The housewife did not exist. “She” was a middle-aged officer named Serhiy working for Ukraine’s military-intelligence directorate, part of a concerted effort to draw secrets from the men sent to occupy his country.

“Serhiy was great at flirting,” his commander told me. “Guys in our team started asking him for dating advice.” Shortly after Achmad sent that photograph, the coordinates it revealed were struck by a Ukrainian drone.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: two men in overcoats stand at the entryway of an establishment. One of the men turns to the other, who is lighting a cigarette. The first man asks, “you really think we’ll find Joey Flamingo in here?” Panel 2: the second man, with a grizzled expression, replies, “Just a hunch.” Immediately stage right is a flamingo in an ill-fitting suit and fedora, standing at a bar table with a drink and an oversized glass of cocktail shrimp. Directly behind the flamingo is a brightly colored sign on the wall which reads: JUMBO SHRIMP - FREE WITH DRINK.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a trio of girls are sitting at a table (one of them is a somewhat grotesque alien-like entity with grey skin, tentacles, and numerous red eyes). One of the human girls points accusingly at the alien girl and asks, “did you just say you’re not going to prom?” Panel 2: the two human girls stand excitedly around the alien girl in a boutique. The alien girl is trying on a turquoise prom dress and seems tentatively happy. Panel 3: Prom night. The two human girls embrace while they ecstatically watch from a distance as the alien girl slow dances with a hunky guy in a tuxedo and matching turquoise bow tie. She’s wearing the turquoise dress and has her head on his chest.

This is why you shouldn't "just" use it for *anything*. I mean. There are other reasons. But those reasons -- the environment, the ethics, etc -- require people to give a damn about something outside themselves. I go to this one when I think a selfish reason might be more motivating.

In the 1940s and 50s, the government tried to eradicate a disfavored ideology and targeted any organization and individual supporting it with investigations in kangaroo courts. Now, it is doing the same with trans people, and WPATH is its latest target. My latest piece on the modern red scare.
