I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Unless I’m missing something the bare minimum now is to stop being a Patriots fan + demand a refund for season tickets, no? Kraft is an active genocide supporter. The overwhelming majority of NFL owners are creeps but Kraft is occupying a dark, dark place. And oh yeah, he’s in the Epstein files.

the only source of this information in the article comes from Kraft's official statement and not any further reporting. I would argue the statement does not commit Kraft to a pledge or suggest he plans to pledge $2M so in that respect I'd argue this headline is inaccurate
Headline at the Athletic that reads "Patriots owner Robert Kraft pledges $2 million donation after Macklemore outcry" and a picture of Robert Kraft with a caption that reads "Robert Kraft has supported numerous Israel-related causes, though he did not say who will receive his promised donation. Jane Gershovich / Getty Images"A statement tweeted out by Gillette Stadium titled STATEMENT FROM ROBERT KRAFT that reads:

I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting. Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis, Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.

In addition, I'd like the people who are speaking in support of the Palestinian people to know that for decades, I have supported efforts that create opportunity for Palestinians and have brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build businesses, create jobs, and forge relationships.

I don’t know guys, is this it? Is society cooked? She did an ad about betting on a trial where multiple children were killed. I’m just in shock at how despicable this is and don’t know how we move forward as a society where betting on wars, killed children, and other horrors has become normalized.

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:
ADL
@ADL
Ed Sheeran’s fans came for a concert, not performative, biased and hateful anti-Israel “activism” from his opener, Macklemore.

Imagine being a Jewish or Israeli fan who came with family or friends to enjoy the show, only to be confronted with this hostility from the stage. Or feeling so unwelcome by the opening act that you leave early.

This isn’t new for Macklemore. He has a record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.

This is completely unacceptable.

(with embedded video of Macklemore's remarks on Palestine at the Ed Sheeran MetLife concert)

So yeah this MrBeast/James Patterson book is (at least partially) a lot of AI slop prose.
You were selected—after careful screening—for a private competition that stays private. Not for the mystery. Because if this went public, it would turn into chaos overnight.

The competition is a series of tests that are harder than anything you’ve seen. And unlike what I do, this will not be recorded, televised, streamed, or uploaded anywhere for the world to see.

No audience. No clout.

Just the games.

This is a battle for the biggest prize and the most important opportunity anyone has ever gotten. It’s also the hardest, craziest, and most lucrative competition I’ve ever been connected to.

By a lot.

One winner gets one billion dollars.Jimmy takes charge of the situation and makes a simple motion: Stay close. Don’t thrash. Something about him makes Jack trust him: the calm. The way he moves like panic is a choice.Jack knows himself well enough to know it’s not the fear of death that runs his life. It’s the death he’s already seen in war. Not the damage war has done to him, and keeps doing. No—more than that. The damage inside him.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

True Crime and its consequences are one of the most disturbing fallouts of the long 2020 I think. Yeah, you shouldn't trust the cops, but you should not trust the person on Tik Tok who benefits financially from your engagement either.

I'll go one further: the true-crime industrial complex is a tool of fascism. People falsely believe that random violent crime is extremely common are much more likely to vote for "law and order" candidates. Also, only extending sympathy to people who claim factual innocence is extremely dehumanizing

Is that...is that supposed to be an argument against healthcare
Darline Graham, new Republican candidate for Senate in South Carolina, told a crowd last night that government-run health care is a terrible idea and then told everyone her parents had to work at their liquor store even if they were sick, and her mother and father died when she was 11 and 12, respectively. Apparently as an argument against healthcare.
