The Bible actually does have something to say about this: Exodus 20:16: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

this Pete Hegseth speech is indistinguishable from parody. words fail to describe the absurdity. here he's talking about governors coming to the Pentagon to grovel to him and Trump so they can be rewarded with a new military base

It should alarm us that the civilian head of the military gathers together troops to give them a political speech in which he calls the free press treasonous. He should be removed from office for doing so.

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

It was *totally* ineffectual as messaging but really landed as a meme.

"I learned it by watching you" was a lot more cringe-worthy, but "Brain on drugs" was far more culturally impactful. There were many riffs on it, parody t-shirts, etc. The fact that PDFA recycled their own ad with Rachael Leigh Cook in the 90s speaks to how much it stuck in people's head.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
