OK, YOU should still absolutely not release a video talking about the charges against you. Powell gets the one-in-a-million exception because he knows what he’s doing and is resisting authoritarian trash.

/8 A huge part of what makes it very hard to convict Jonathan Ross for murder was baked into America generations before Trump was President. That’s the primary factor that lets law enforcement kill with impunity, not Trump.
Dick Wolf has killed more black men than Leopold II.

For me, labor market story of 2025 is that, since liberation day, 121% of all new private sector jobs have been in health care. During that same period 161,000 blue-collar jobs (@josephpolitano.bsky.social's definition) have been lost.
Whatever tariffs were meant to do for workers hasn't happened.

VH1 is listing Blues Brothers but playing Blues Brothers 2000. This has to be some sort of crime.

There is so much misinformation and disinformation being spread right now. I am staying silent because I do not know enough to be helpful in this conversation and if you feel the same way, I implore you to do the same thing. But also be careful what you read.

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."
I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story

Grok Can't Apologize. Grok Isn't Sentient. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

One of the most important tools in the lawyer’s persuasive toolbox is framing. Take this excellent example, from my toddler, earlier today;
“Please don’t take away my toys!”
…
“Please don’t take away…the toys…that *Santa* gave me.”
“Please don’t take away my toys!”

What I think gets lost in the writing to market discussion is the definition of the market.
There are 2 markets:
1. the general market of readers. Who is the biggest pool that spends money and what do they read
2. your ideal readers and what they like about YOUR work in particular.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

people are clowning on this, but the Canadian mind is cunning, pitiless, steeped in boreal perfidy
The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."
