Very well put.
“Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass Jayson Blair & the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige & power that came with journalism in that moment then this generation’s internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment.”

Today's pie discourse is very unnecessary, and everyone is wrong about which is the best pie.

My veg garden was not so great this year but I just pulled almost-forgotten carrots out of the ground, cut them up, & roasted them with Magic Unicorn salt & some Burlap & Barrel wild mountain cumin, and while I think the seasonings did the heavy lifting, let's give a hand to these tiny orange babes!

It's about enough with the post-Beatles generations (incl. us gen xers) crowing about their reverence of the Beatles. Stop bullying people about this one band from before their time. People like what they like and if they don't like the Beatles or any other circus monkey music that's fine.
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

Even harder to believe it was once low stakes fun.
It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.

Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

Many people have said this now but Nuzzi & Lizza act like it’s all a stupid, kinky game about attention & monetization but the stakes here involve lives & liberty.

Possibly the stupidest thing ever written about Trump this month?
Every article by a 'savvy' political analyst reads like a focus group transcript with a low-information voter.

I drove off. Friends later reported seeing him walking through town, wondering what he was doing so far from campus.
Iterations of "quiet, piggy" happen every day, in private, less egregious circumstances. But they're there.

🧵In the early 2000s I was a grad student in a situationship with a visiting prof (diff dept!). One day we were driving through town in my car; he asked if I liked a famous local restaurant.
Me: Yeah, but since I have their cookbook, it somehow doesn't feel as special, going there anymore. 1/x

AKA register with DHS. More from the Nazi playbook.
The Trump administration will require millions of low-income people to "reapply" for food stamps.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins made the announcement on Newsmax, but didn't provide more information on when or how people would need to reapply.

This article contains the phrase "Thomson Reuters, the massive data broker and media conglomerate" and I know we've been here for years now but it's a shock to see that said of an org as big as Reuters.
license plate data merged with credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, in one app for ICE agents. oh and it sends push notifications when someone they're seeking is nearby.
