Stephen Root appreciation 🏆 This man has been training his whole life for #WidowsBay I wrote about his unique legacy of weirdness here: It starts with a monkey licking his forehead, and gets stranger from there.

Tomorrow, my Spider-Man book is finally unleashed upon an unsuspecting world... And it is a BEAST. Nearly 900 pages and 9 lbs, a complete authorized history of web-slinging comics 1962–now. (It's also beautiful and eminently navigable – credit to the brilliant editor+designer.) I hope you like it.

Republican voters in Kentucky who presumably spent much of 2024 banging on about Epstein just ejected from Congress their own Republican congressman, who helped get the Epstein files out, in order to please the close friend of Epstein, Donald Trump.

From my own personal experience, for anyone doing AI- assisted work on race, slavery, colonialism, resistance, and violence... DON'T. I tried running some writing through AI, and it would strip out language about race and violence. "Ask" it why, and it will gaslight you.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but come on. And the level of misinformation coming from a gathering of journalists who shouldn’t even there! It’s alarming and absurd. And the cherry on top is the footage of the catering staff, still doing their jobs while the people in evening wear stand around.

Always double check your AI created copy…

HBO Max, “Harry Potter,” “Top Gun,” CBS and CNN may all be placed the control of the upstart Paramount Skydance soon. That’s because shareholders of Warner Bros.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Your president is an idiot.

Trump: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).'"

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Bad Bunny was the only part I watched and that performance and production was incredible. Mind boggling how they pulled off that many layers of well executed television

"NBC’s Softball Trump Interview Normalized an Abnormal President" I fact-checked Tom Llamas’s deferential interview with the president, in which the 'NBC Nightly News' anchor did not ask him even a single question about the Epstein files.

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week. No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media. Now imagine if this were done to Republicans. The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

Happy she’s ok. The violent rhetoric spewed in her direction is intentional and this needs to be brought to the congressional floor

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

In addition to the horrifying content, please note that YAHOO is publishing this investigative journalism.

Bruce Little@brucedlittle.bsky.social

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years. At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years. This article includes names of the agents.

Triple check your sources. Before reposting, take a few minutes to do a deeper dive on those TikTok videos and internet posts yourself. I’ve seen trusted journalists post misinformation. Be a voice not an echo.

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Andre Cole reposted

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Imagine believing, and getting mad about, Somali daycare centers having contributed $35 million to the Democrats - a nonsensical, demonstrable, obvious lie. And yet some *billionaires* believed it and then spread the lie over on Twitter. Some of the richest people are some of the dumbest.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Continue to support Mamdani, Sherrill, and Spanberger and all the energetic Dems in their mandates and efforts. They’ll face some nonsense from Washington. Have their backs to protect yours! 🌊

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Straight out in the open. The game plan is clear when you see who is on the high profile newsroom floor and who gets the niche spots. Easier to clear out the color like bleach.

Reminder: Republicans are more concerned with protecting pedophiles than protecting the American people. Day 30 of the shutdown and the pedophile protection party only cares about ensuring the Epstein files are not released.

Their fair share would be WHAT THE REST OF US PAY. Most people pay up to 37%. Billionaires pay around 1%. You’re just saying words that make it clear you love billionaires and the suffering of the working class.

frantzfranis.bsky.social@frantzfranis.bsky.social

Can anyone tell me what is "their fair share"? How much of our thax bill should the top 1% pay? Same question for the top 10% and 20%. If there is no limit to what is "their fair share" why should the pay a cent more than they do now?

I can't get over a media that spent years telling us teenagers deserved to die for actions that weren't even crimes telling us which Presidential crimes don't even deserve a slap on the wrist.
