In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.

the "brooklyn without limits" episode of 30 rock where liz's perfect jeans turn out to be made by halliburton was actually an understatement of the reality we live in
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

In college I did a research paper on how gay guy body image can be doubly affected by the male gaze (from self and from romantic partners), and somehow I feel like Clavicular getting brutally frame mogged is part of that same conversation?

Growing up, one of my chores was recycling the newspapers. Being a bookish little boy, it would take me half an hour to pack the week's copies of the Washington Post into paper bags to take to the curb, because I would get so lost in the stories. You can't have media literacy without media to read.

Harry Haun has died at 85. In the world of New York theater, he was the last of his kind--a great old pad-and-pen reporter who'd interviewed everyone since John Wilkes Booth. At openings and events, he knew how to forage for an item, a line, an iota of news, and wouldn't let you go until he got it.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
![[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”
