It's honestly frightening that half of the country is being straight lied to and they don't know any better. I know this isn't new but it's really clear in this example.

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

I felt the same way about Morgan Wallen's last album. It was showing up on Spotify charts in countries that had never heard of him. Turns out he was being pushed in random playlists. So "study chill" or "power workout" playlist had five Morgan Wallen songs on it. People weren't seeking it out.

Song is fine, nothing special. She has much better ones imo The main reason for it being the "most popular song ever" is the way Billboard works now is entirely broken and bears no resemblance to how the chart worked in previous eras

Carlson's 2024 pitch was that Trump would be the strict father coming home to spank his unruly daughter and Carlson is mad that instead he hit her a couple times then grabbed a few beers from the fridge and turned on the TV. His critique is that Trump is insufficiently authoritarian.
