Been getting an ad for what can only be described as a depression shawl on Instagram for a couple weeks. And I get it. A+ targeting on this ad.

Extra insulting to hear this nonsense about an immutable gender binary coming from a guy who looks like the SNL "It's Pat" character

For instance, Kim Petras transitioned as a kid. She's a Grammy-winning pop star. She was able to pursue that dream *because* she transitioned young and wasn't forced to go through a testosterone-driven puberty. If she had, her voice would be completely different. She'd look completely different.

Anyway, here's a photo of Brooks with his wife, who happens to be 23 years younger than him. This photo looks like a dad dropping his daughter off at college.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

![The National Republican Senatorial
Committee continues to experiment with an occasionally odd Al-driven ad strategy this cycle, this time in Maine.
Earlier this month, the Senate GOP campaign arm dropped Meet Team Ossoff's Illegals, an atonal pastiche of an NFL broadcast targeting the Georgia Democratic senator. This 30-second spot, The Janet Mills Collection, singles out Maine's Democratic governor — who is running to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins — for her stance on transgender rights.
In the fuzzy, lo-fi style of a 1980s infomercial, an affectless female voice coos about Mills'
"confusing" suite of gender policies, such as
"forc[ing] girls to compete against biological males," and says she comes with a "no parent-permission required estrogen kit."
Though Mills did sign into law a 2023 bill allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to receive gender-affirming therapy, in certain contexts without parental consent, the child depicted injecting drugs with a comically oversized vintage syringe behind his parents' backs looks to be much younger than that.
Nothing Mills has ever actually said makes it into this all-AI spot, which, in the language of a nostalgic mass-media idyll, depicts Maine's sitting governor as a creepy drug pusher.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreiexjqu55fgtybiq673dp76nf2enhc4vueg4es7gluygfw4gpf4kv4@jpeg)

Since Trump is addressing the nation tonight, I can't help but think back to one of the strangest TV moments I've ever experienced: Sarah Palin singing Baby Got Back on The Masked Singer right into Trump's COVID address
