The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Book 33 is a dark literary satire from R.F. Kuang, especially picked for Lunar New Year. Yellowface is a story of ambition, and desire, and the sharp barbs of racial politics in the modern age. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💙📚

I finished 'Angel Down' but Daniel Kraus over this week and it was so tender and gory and evocative. It might be the best wartime novel I've ever read. I read the last word of the last line of the last chapter yearning for what I knew the author would not give me and it haunts me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1) the outrage was over the fact that it's a *huge* likeness rights violation.
2) The fear here is the blue collar jobs we'll lose in the industry if something isn't done.
3) The clip is just a hastily edited fight between two of the most photographed men on the planet doing what they do for real.

It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.
