Narrator: they were not, in fact, used to it.

watching the 4K release of Ronin with frankenheimer's commentary and learning that the car chases in the movie were happening *at speed*. no camera tricks or anything, they were straight up *racing*. "we set up all the actors in high performance driving school so they were used to the speeds."

‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5

Between allegations against congressman Max Miller, the rape of AZ Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia, and Jane Doe’s lawsuit against Cornell, sexual violence has been front and center. Which makes Ramaswamy’s exploitation of Acton’s rape a clear strategy—not a misstep.

Nothing quite sums up the abhorrent violence inherent in the state (anywhere, everywhere in the world) than a video of the cops tear gassing an orchestra playing music at the Place de la Republique in France yesterday

Reupping my piece from August about the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in Senatobia, MS, and the community that has fought for accountability to no avail. A horrible case, whose details have only been revealed thanks to independent reporting, especially via @mississippitoday.org.

When the cloud provider support engineer tells you things like "You're getting this alert because you set up alerts to be notified whenever there's a problem." you sigh, because it's going to be an even longer day than you thought.

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
