😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Totally banal observation, but I do think it’s a good thing that everyone in small Italian towns apparates at around sundown to hang around and say CIAO at each other in the town square while drinking coffee I think this habit is probably good for humans

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social calling Dr Annie Andrews a transphobic slur this week, and her response is to ensure everyone knows she hates trans people too. Christ, the Democrats are fucking pathetic.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

SC Dem Senate nominee Annie Andrews released an ad calling trans women "biological men." She embraces sports and surgery bans for youth. Her campaign even says she won't work to overturn the HRT/blocker trans youth ban. She once argued against capitulation. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

positive reframing is such a nice tool when you think "I feel like I'm drowning and one or two hard emails away from the burnout knocking me out of commission" you can instead think "honestly I can't believe my nervous system is even functioning at all with all the nonstop horrors lately"

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions."

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.

There's so much uncertainty in the world... wouldn't you be comforted knowing you have a whole show to watch on the day she dies?

The Verge@theverge.com

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Every article about this needs to stop saying that sailors tried to jump overboard and start saying that multiple members of the US Military have attempted suicide because conditions on their vessel are so poor.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social

There have reportedly been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as poor conditions and mental stress reach a breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land, a record

Republicans constantly say they don’t like DEI because it means that people are given jobs for which they don’t have enough qualifications. They then turn around and make Darline Graham Nordone a senator, a woman whose only qualification for the job is being the sister of a dead senator. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Journalists: please, please get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump's going to claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America is begging you: plan ahead. 1/

hey guys, has anyone else noticed that everything is expensive as shit right now? on a totally unrelated note, has anyone noticed that everything seems bad right now? on another unrelated note, has anyone else noticed that their mental health ain't great right now?

This will only make sense to Oregonians, but Culver City is like if they made The Pearl District out of Lake Oswegos. The entire thing is $3 million houses and gyms that carry Kiehls products.

Katie Britt on DHS officers: "There are significant guardrails that have been put in place already in the bipartisan piece of legislation we negotiated. I think Democrats will vote that down, which means people are gonna continue this enforcement, but they're not gonna have the guardrails."

If AG Bondi claims to care about Epstein survivors, why did she reveal their identities but redact the names of the rich pedophiles and sex abusers who hurt them? She must take accountability for this cover-up and finally deliver the justice these victims deserve.

LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation? BONDI: I don't believe you asked Merrick Garland these questions LIEU: You are in charge

To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost somewhere around $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year. Of course, he wouldn't have to choose. He could do both because he's worth $250B, which is nearly the GDP of New Zealand.
