Inject these "Michael Penix Jr thriving" headlines into my veins. Few athletes inspire me to use the word "joy" when talking about what it's like to watch them play. I'm a Seattle guy all the way, so, Go Hawks! But when the Falcons are playing and Penix is on the field, he has my full attention.

Anyone joining the chat about fearful evangelicals protesting Greta Gerwig's radical #Narnia will do themselves a favor by reading what @laurenwilford.bsky.social wrote back when people were similarly incensed over Aronofsky's NOAH. This essay is a major focus of my class on the art of adaptation.

Trump ad airing with government funding despite law against ‘propaganda’
A TV ad boosting President Trump and saying that it was paid for by the U.S. government is airing in two major markets despite a federal law against using tax funds for "propaganda."

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Trump’s U.N. speech opened to dead silence no applause for “America is back.” Then he threatened Iran. Iran’s delegation walked out. He attacked Cuba. Cuba walked too. Diplomacy by threat doesn’t command respect. The world is watching America lose it. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

Communism directly opposes the United States

While every Democrat voted against the largest tax cuts in American history and over 100 refuse to condemn socialism, President Trump will ensure that communism never has a place in America.

TRUMP TV IS OFFICIALLY LIVE 24/7
The White House just launched "TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station" — a nonstop stream featuring President Trump's speeches, major announcements, past highlights and administration updates, refreshed in real time.
The launch comes amid Trump's escalating fight with
CNN, MS NOW and Politico, which have sued his administration after being barred from White House access.
Americans can now watch the White House's own selected footage and announcements DIRECTLY,
24/7.
The media landscape just changed in a BIG way. •*

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.
