this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement, during a heated exchange at a town hall. https://cnn.it/4s7r1TL

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.

Since we're talking about Jan Crawford's bigoted comment about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, here's a post I did about how she helped Bill Barr impugn the Russian investigation. emptywheel.net/2019/05/31/b...

right I see what happened here
Gabe Poirot says he spent 18 days in Heaven and met a Jesus who was six feet tall, made of fire, and overflowing with testosterone. Fox treated this as news. There's no evidence of this. Just a deeply manipulative story and a book to promote. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/a-christia...

Yes. “If you defund and deplatform anti-racists then that will force their movement underground, and then they will be truly dangerous!” is never, ever an argument you will hear from the right-wing media. Because they know very well that defunding and deplatforming *actually works*.
No, arresting ‘Danny Tommo’ won’t make him a martyr. *Not* arresting him will fuel his agenda.

I spent the last 20 months cutting together around 390 horror films to make a new but familiar story. If you’re a horror fan, a cinephile, or an appreciator of editing, this is a film to grab some friends and have a spooky time this October. Family Go to the Bad House releasing 1st October!
"an uncannily amusing experiment in appropriation and montage, reconstructing horror’s edifice from the building bricks of films past": @factionman.bsky.social's dizzying labour of love FAMILY GO TO THE BAD HOUSE (2026) remixes genre to locate its essence. projectedfigures.com/2026/09/21/f...

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk

JKR's agent, Neil Blair, is one of the signatories on that recent open letter denying that Israel is doing genocide in Gaza, so he just has a thing for genocide denial, I guess. Can't get enough of it, clearly.
Hugely fun and funny take on JK Rowling's denials that her advocacy for women to be protected from the acceptance of trans people by society by @alyssaur.bsky.social. The humble social media manager who made this post laughed out loud and so will you! assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Four acts and his own live band quit, so ... not such an impossible position. Sheeran could have told the stadium owners to get fucked and become more popular than ever. People would have been falling over themselves to offer him venues for the tour. It's only impossible if you fear the oligarchs.

Shout-out to Travis Knight, who's father is the CEO of Nike (yes THAT Nike, the shoe brand) using his immense inherited wealth to fund stop motion animation at a financial loss purely for the love of the art. Laika Studios my beloved <3
Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’

Everyone is gonna talk about ROCKY HORROR and CLUE, and they should, but if you can find it, seek out PASS THE AMMO in which Curry plays a grifting, horny televangelist who crosses the the wrong guy (Bill Paxton.) Has one of my favorite jokes ever: "The crack of dawn wouldn't be safe from that man!"

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.
