You know it’s bad when Arizona’s not even 99 cents anymore
The 99-cent price of AriZona Iced Tea’s signature tallboys has stayed the same for nearly three decades. President Trump’s 50% tariff on imported aluminum may change that. “I hate even the thought of it,” the founder and chairman Don Vultaggio said. nyti.ms/4lkTrVg

AOC has a legitimate defamation suit here if she wanted to pursue it
Chris Cuomo posted an obviously fake video of @aoc.bsky.social (it literally says "parody 100% made with AI") and when the congresswoman fact-checked him he complained "but it really does sound like you"

DEI feels so much like lip service and a knee jerk reaction to 2020. Radicalized communities should absolutely have an opportunity in business/the workforce but there’s a massive difference between hiring a minority employee to fill your quota and working to insure racialized staff feel supported

The irony of Twitter wanting to avoid this so much that Biz Stone didn’t want Jack Dorsey to even moderate an Obama presidential debate
I think there's a good case to be made at this point that Twitter is a state actor.

To be fair, it’s always had a problematic US-centric stance (and Google is at least acknowledging that at least partially as why it’s stopped acknowledging these observances)
Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app.
This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.”

Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’
Some users are angry that some events have been removed.

I wish there was a postgame press conference with the halftime performer. It’s one thing to openly speculate about what they meant but so much powerful to hear an artist’s intentions in their own words
