I realize the hypocrisy of saying this on this platform but I am honestly coming around on the idea that all social media is a social evil now. My use of this platform itself is based on an addiction and I'd love to get off it. We are openly inviting tech oligarchs to manipulate our beliefs.
Real saying the quiet part loud here
WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔

(Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

What is a parent to do? Maybe listen to science and not an anti-science wacko.

The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.

Saying it in comments is one thing, doing it is another. I really hope they do, but I just have zero faith when it comes to people choosing inconvenience over what is morally right. Disney is a cult, and one that is hard to break from once you are in it.
I'll just note that the Gizmodo comments section right now is filled with people who say they're cancelling Disney+/Hulu. One commenter said they had a Disney parks pass they weren't going to use just because they didn't want to spend money in the parks.
“It was becoming increasingly clear in recent weeks that Sir Iger and the ABC executives would cut us loose in a second if they thought something we did might hurt attendance at Disney World or cost anyone their annual bonus,”

As a kid who grew up on Robert Munsch and all of the beautiful art in his books, this honestly breaks my heart!
Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

It's almost laughable to want anything of strength from Jimmy Fallon, the guy who ran his hand through Donald Trump's hair. The man is a wet noodle personified. Don't look to leadership from him. He would gladly let you drown for a truck full of money.

Kash Patel is really good at his job.
Well this is quite a statement from the Utah County Attorney in regards to Kash Patel

I didn't say that my killing a man in cold blood was a hoax. Your calling it 'murder' is the hoax.
Q: You said the Epstein docs are a hoax that Dems are perpetrating against Trump. You said he didn't sign that check or card. What's the theory since these docs came from Epstein estate?

LEAVITT: I did not say the documents are a hoax. I said the entire narrative surrounding Epstein right now is

Or desecration of a capital building?
If burning an American flag gets you a year in prison, how long does tearing one down and replacing it with a Trump flag get you?

I can watch a 30 second tiktok of it, but god help them if they think I want to watch a full game.
To MLB, the Bananas are an entertainment product, a complement rather than competition.

But Bananas owner Jesse Cole sees what he’s creating as much more than just baseball vaudeville.

Maybe it is just an absence of brand socials on Bluesky but I love love love the fact that I haven't seen a single brand reference to this at all today. Living without X, FB, and Insta sure has its bonuses.

Plenty of us care a lot. Just rewatched Do the Right Thing. Spike is the #GOAT and I'll be there Day One for this.
Spike Lee is a living master – so why does no one care about his new film?
‘Highest 2 Lowest’ is a punchy thriller with one of the world’s biggest actors, Denzel Washington, as its lead. Lee hasn’t lost his touch, writes Xan Brooks, but the world is forcing him out to the ma...
