My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

We distributed rents one by one.
We can’t even think about March rent yet.

Opened tiktok for awhile and was immediately greeted by a video saying Hunter Biden not being in the Epstein files is unsurprising since sex workers have been saying how respectful he was and how well he tipped. The video closed out by saying "Hunter Biden loved two things grown women and crack" ☠️

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Strong linear opening for Disney's THE MUPPET SHOW. It was Wednesday's No. 1 show among A18-49 (0.52)/A25-54 (0.69) across broadcast and cable, tripling the final installment of THE GOLDEN BACHELOR in the slot last fall.
It averaged 3.1M same-day viewers, improving on ABBOTT (2.8M) lead-in

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

I cannot tell you how many landlords view themselves as a subjugated underclass. I spent years in Facebook groups for MN landlords and they would earnestly talk about how they were being discriminated against and how they were basically doing charity by renting out shitboxes above market.

There is a deep grief within all of us women every single time we watch men refuse to hold other men accountable. And it happens over and over and over again, right in front of us. A constant refrain of “we don’t care about you”

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The psychology of Right Wing authoritarianism is rooted in backgrounds of being abused as children by authoritarians and then becoming abusers when they are adults.
That happens in families and it scales upwards to culture and politics. That’s what’s happening now.
