Revealed? Like it was pretty clear he's been lying all along, Bill.
“One of those working most closely with Epstein, up to and including attempting to scrub his public image, was Bannon…Bannon, the man millions of MAGA fans trust to tell it like it is, stands revealed as one of the most cynical liars ever to mar this country.”

Steve Bannon Was Epstein’s Comeback Consultant. Where’s the Uproar?
The MAGA architect is escaping opprobrium for his chummy relationship with the notorious pedophile.

The Super Bowl Shuffle doc was a delight. I was too young when the song took over our lives to know the details. Seems appropriate that we have Jovan Musk to thank for one the best core memories of my childhood. #DaBears

It’s always been about white nationalism. All of it. Islamophobia AND antisemitism, the trans panic AND trad wives, breaking public education AND attacking DEI, dismantling abortion rights AND deprofessionalizing women workers. The GOP wants a white ethnostate. Some admit it more openly than others.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

WOW. Was excited to see Tiny Chef as part of Google's Thanksgiving celebration. Thought I'd get a cute video to watch, NO! It sends you to an AI prompt to ask Tiny Chef to help you prepare dinner. Tiny Chef is now tarnished.

Look, a lot of us have been warning about letting too much tech in our kids lives. Back in the early aughts we were discussing how even the Disney website was a few clicks away from inappropriate materials. But no one cares except to get rich.
Almost as soon as a consumer advocacy group began testing an A.I.-enabled toy bear, trouble began. Instead of chatting about homework or bedtime, testers said it sometimes spoke of knives and sexual topics. They warned that toys like it could allow children to stray into inappropriate exchanges.
A.I. Toy Bear Speaks of Sex, Knives and Pills, Consumer Group Warns
The chatter left startled adults unsure whether they heard correctly. Testers warned that interactive toys like this one could allow children to stray into inappropriate exchanges.

Please don't platform her the way some of you did to Adam Kinzinger. No amount of apology can make up for the harm she did to this country, to our discourse. She needs to be held accountable not lauded.

Refresher: this is the “your body, my choice” guy. This is the “organized Jewry” guy. This is the Hitler was “very, very cool” guy. His audience is not organically growing, but his views are being mainstreamed anyway.
With Nick Fuentes in the news (again…) I am going to reshare our latest research piece, which checked claims that his audience is growing against data we have.
It’s not clear that’s actually true, yet right-wing figures keep trying to make excuses for his audience.
