Zuck looks really awkwardly inhuman in this fake photo, and I don't know whether to take that as a sign that it's fake, or as something that the AI got right.
It's part of a trend of putting these guys in environments where billionaires would be unlikely to hang out.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

also: not for nothing, but Lizza skipping from the Sanford reveal at the end of Part 1 all the way to RFK lets him avoid any discussion of him evidently being complicit in concealing Nuzzi’s Sanford-related ethics breach from the people paying the two of them to do political journalism

Couldn’t be clearer here that Trump thinks of this all as kayfabe
Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?
Mamdani: I've spoken about --
Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
