Fun fact: The image used was captured by one of the live webcams at McMurdo Station, specifically “Observation Hill”. The More You Know…™

When power is built on disinformation, data become a threat.

While the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC, PEE-ock) would have provided little this evening, the ONLY reason the East Wing is destroyed and the term “Ballroom” is used is because making significant enhancements to the PEOC required the East Wing’s removal. Words matter. Use them well.

That reminds me of Keunwoo Lee’s phrase “fractally wrong”, which refers to someone who is wrong about something on the macro/surface level and wrong on the smaller scales (wrong in every particular detail). Those who deny evolution or think the Moon landing was faked are fractally wrong.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman. Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

Can confirm, Facebook is still hot garbage. It is alley dumpsters in the summer heat before collection day. It’s the sewage treatment plant special on AirTrain between Federal Circle Lefferts Blvd. It’s “Ah shit, something big died in there.” If they killed Reels and Ads tho.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

Has any group of people (here, non-MAGA folks of all backgrounds) tried to simply repeat verbatim the talking points of another group (here, MAGA politicians) as a disruptive technique? Meeting abnormal behavior with normal behavior is accomplishing fuckall. Be weird. Say what they say.

I’m NOT suggesting citing the source and stating agreement, no, restate the talking point exactly as original thought. When called out, double down. Gaslight the fuck out of MAGA.

Privately, accomplish progressive policy. But publicly, be crazy AF by simply echoing MAGA. Because what the opposition IS doing ain’t working, at all.

The ease with which Vladimir Putin used our Republic’s inherent anti-Blackness to destroy it from within by and for white hands is breathtaking. He didn’t lift a finger. He simply tasks others to pull a few levers. It is a spectacular and complete victory.

Ironically, information about This American Life’s episode 885 ‘Bless This Mess’ is hard to come by. I get it was bought to TAL, not produced by it. But, still.

We’re often tasked with writing heavy stories as journalists. But sometimes we bear witness to history as it inspires generations. Take a read of one of my favorite stories of the year. “It just makes me feel like he's paved the exact road for someone like me.” www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Physics is cool. Like, you can predict and measure all of this in advance.

I spoke with filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin about their new doc, @stealthisstory.bsky.social, which compels us to ask more out of mainstream media & has lots of great archival reels of Amy Goodman chasing powerful people with a microphone. (cc: @fullframefest.bsky.social)

indyweek.comAmy Goodman and the Art of the Follow-up Question"Steal This Story, Please!", a new documentary about the intrepid Democracy Now! host, streams at this year's Full Frame Documentary Festival.

Deployment of this book cover will continue until moral improves. The also roundly ignored updated edition was published well before the most recent general election.

I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen
