The National Trust for Historic Preservation is stepping up to fight this reckless project.
It's not about one building. It's about stopping a man who thinks our history is his to bulldoze.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

I may be proven wrong about this, but I really think that one argument against AI ever replacing human actors and celebrities is the existence of the Kardashians. They don't do anything except exist, but they are real. And no one would give a shit otherwise.

Dear the media,
When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.
The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.
Sincerely,
Factual reality

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland
