A White House website with a dedicated Lügenpresse tab marks a pretty bleak moment in US history.
Don't know whether this is new or has been up for awhile. Either way, when the White House creates a hit list of journalists it doesn't like, the free press is in danger. www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

A Fort Worth church is offering a $100 online academy that aims to train conservative Christians to run for office.
At the core of the program is the idea that there is no separation between what happens within the church and in the government.

Oh. My. Gawd.
absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

I’m definitely going with PJs for my next flight.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Also, how about serial web comics published on places like BlueSky? Seems like a good use for this format.
So I was talking to Zooey and webcomics came up and I am realizing that I used to devour webcomics as a teen but haven't read them in years.
So bluesky, what are your fav webcomics I should get into? I like fantasy, sci fi, gaming, slice of life, comedy, supernatural, and interesting art.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

"The Roses were built on Mani’s tiptoe-light touch — something delicate but propulsive, an anti-rock energy that had heart, and was dreaming of something, borne of an internal rhythm and beauty that burnt a trail from itself outwards."
Remembering Mani, by Gordon Moakes | The Quietus
There’s a real nostalgic binary when it comes to the present-day view of Mancunian music from the 80s and 90s: it’s easy to see it as an amorphous blob of naive youth culture, macho posturing, retrogr...

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.
