NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx says he'll respond today to domestic violence allegations - video/audio where he describes slamming his wife into a door and throwing his toddler across a room. Voters/reporters new to Marx may not realize he has a long history of justifying violence.

Took Wallace (white fluffy) to the vet yesterday. His second visit since joining us last November. No growling at the vet. Got X-rays and was generally manhandled without a fuss. Still snooty about treats so those were picked up to be brought home for Paco (mostly gray brindle). #dogs

extremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Yes 90% of everything is crap but in the case of modern country music it's more like 99%. Country music stars have no problem filming videos in places where people were lynched and writing anti-BLM songs like "Try That in a Small Town" and singing at Trump events and excluding Black artists.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Watching the Ed Sheeran drama, it's so sad and predictable that so many people fail the wealth test. Get money, become a greedy money obsessed asshole. The right thing was right there and he had the money and power to do it, and chose not to. I hope his (now) solo tour is to not full arenas.

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
