Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE and their owner is helping to develop military AI. Maybe hit that "cancel my account" button?

An absolutely gigantic loss for the movie poster art world with the passing of Drew Struzan. If you don't immediately know his name, you definitely know his work and his style. Indiana Jones, The Thing, The Goonies and an endless list of classics. RIP to a legend

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

“In this imaginary scenario that I’ll never be part of, I would try to get the same thing that everyone else would try to get”. Why are we still hearing from this clown? He lost the election and lost his own riding. Why does he get another kick at the can? That’s not how democracy works
