The nice thing abt Musk having SpaceX takeover Xitter is when we nationalize SpaceX we'll end up owning Xitter as a side deal. Also a robot that makes Child Sexual Abuse Material out of school photos, for which reason we can shut down Grok on day one.

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.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

My kids have measles, I can't afford gas, my country has been humiliated by Iran, and our senile rapist president is going to allow unregulated AI to destroy our civilization. But a lesbian bar in a town I've never heard of still has a mask mandate. I have never felt more politically homeless.

here's an idea for a premise: the muppet show

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

I think this is right: The American Age is over. But as with a World War (which it might set off), I don't think anyone knows where it'll end, especially given that it is happening during climate catastrophe.

It's so satisfying when something is named right. So you'll know how happy I am to say this is the GLORIOUS FLATWORM, Pseudobiceros gloriosus, native to the benthic zone of the Indo-Pacific. They lack internal organs: no heart or blood vessels, no gills. But /reproduction/ is where it gets WEIRD.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

ms.nowThe Onion says it won’t wait for the courts, will launch Infowars to pay Sandy Hook familiesThe Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.

NEW — I wrote about my visit to Delaney Hall, the ICE facility in Newark, NJ where detainees are on a hunger and labor strike in protest of rotten food, unpaid work, and unjust detainment, and where protesters outside have spent the last week drawing ICE's ire while keeping strikers' demands alive.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Here’s a fun variation on the movie game we’ve played on here, but expanded. You can have all the pop culture made during one president’s time in office. Remember, election years go to the person *in office* This means movies, tv, books, albums, and so on. I’m going with Clinton (1993-2001).
