What an unsurprising twist in the Talarico rumor saga that the right wing ecosystem was eager to gobble up and amplify www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

screenshot of text that reads:

An influencer who played a key role in hoax claims that James Talarico was in a mental health facility has a long history of social media posts that favorably invoke Nazi Germany, express antisemitism and anti-Black racism, criticize miscegenation and call for “remigration” of refugees.

Whether it's this instance or the "it's actually ok for me to take pictures of movie screens" discourse or a thousand other examples, social media is a plague frying the social contract and wiping out our collective empathy. have a good Saturday.

A screenshot from the article that reads:

There is something else the world doesn’t know.

Recently, Ramses lost one of his oldest friends, a gifted baseball player he had known since they were kids. His death was untimely, and my husband will never admit it, but I know he’s been grieving him deeply. There was no formal funeral or memorial service for him to attend. I suggested a Giants game as a way to remember his friend. I wanted Ramses to watch baseball, eat some ballpark food, and have some room to reflect on his friend’s passing. I would glance over and could tell he was texting his group chat about their lost member throughout the game.

The camera showed what I was carrying in my hands. It couldn’t show what he was carrying that night.

Obviously not a grassroots venue, but seeing Kendrick Lamar on Pitchfork's smaller Blue side stage in 2012 a few months before Good Kid MAAD City came out and put him at firm stadium status was a transcendent experience

I've been reading Only Plane In The Sky for the first time over the last few days and it's left me a weepy emotional wreck at least 40% of the time. It might be the only 5/5 "can't put down" book I can't bring myself to recommend (though you should read it)

I love living in Queens because what do you mean I walked out of the store and there was Spider-Man. Happy 4th of July!

That was a brutal Mets game to be at, but at least we had a very good "Pete Alonso" chant going at the end Also appreciated this Cubs fan's sign a few rows in front of us

Well, against my better judgement, our "Citi Field in April" streak has entered its fourth year. You can't say I'm not a loyal baseball fan. Let's Go Mets! #lgm

It's Citi Field from the nosebleeds and there is practically no one here because it's both cold and the Mets suck right now

Looking forward to the inevitable the cultural spelunking article exploring regional roots of the term, and IDs when "tavern-style" Chicago pizza became popular nomenclature over "thin crust". There will be some fun theories thrown around in the meantime

It's a screenshot of a tweet that reads:

This has been bothering me for a while now. When did "tavern" style become a thing? I never heard it in my life until the last 5-7 years I feel like.

There's thin crust and there's deep dish

Far from the main point, but I appreciate the context from the NYT explaining the depths of their Chavez reporting here "My colleague, Sarah Hurtes, and I have investigated aspects of this story for nearly five years now"

The New York Times reporter left a comment that reads:

Back in 2021, The Times received a tip about Cesar Chavez’s past. My colleague, Sarah Hurtes, and I have investigated aspects of this story for nearly five years now. After gaining the trust of several women who told us their stories, we discovered disturbing allegations that Chavez sexually abused and assaulted teenage girls and adult women. We are publishing our findings today, and welcome your questions and reactions.

There is a non-zero chance we only learn the US has completed its first underground nuclear weapons test in decades after an automated USGS earthquake social media account suddenly starts posting about an extremely shallow seismic event in Nevada

It is a screenshot of an Associated Press tweet and video clip. Its caption reads: President Trump declined Friday to say whether the U.S. will resume underground nuclear weapons testing, which ended in 1992, saying only, “You’ll find out very soon.”

Andor has been an incredible romp and a brilliant look into what Star Wars could be in the right hands, I am not ready for it to end tomorrow It defied all expectations for the kind of mature storytelling you can do with a 50-year-old fantasy series for kids while still staying true to its roots ✨

obvi "I love you/I know" is iconic, but for me, but I think my favorite Star Wars moment is when Leia frees Han ❤️❤️❤️ "who are you" "Someone who loves you" oof The way Carrie Fisher kisses him and then says "I gotta get you out of here" is is just so beautiful
