Well-placed in my timeline
Story from The Verge above Tyler’s thread. The photo is a glowing array of data centers; the headline is “Data centers in Oregon might be helping to drive an increase in cancer and miscarriages”

I couldn’t believe this. I guess they missed ADL’s entry on TPUSA, which has launched many antisemites to fame. Or how he was a prominent promoter of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, which inspired the worst-ever attack on Jews in the US, or this article last summer!
Screenshot of NY Times article last summer with headline: “Charlie Kirk, Long Accused of Antisemitism, Is Set for a Prime-time Speech” Subhead: The turnaround for the head of Turning Point USA tells the story of how the Republican Party has united around former President Donald Trump.”

It keeps getting worse
Photo of TV screen showing CNN broadcast with new Pope addressing the crowd. But unfortunately the closed captioning is frozen so the banner reads: “First American Pope - I don’t give a [bleep]”

[sounds of sharpening blades]
Screenshot from FT article: “There can be no logic-washing of Donald Trump's tariffs. This isn't part of a carefully-designed industrial policy or a cunning strategy to induce compliance among trading partners or a choreographed appearance of chaos to scare other governments into obedience. It's wildly destructive stupidity, and the generations of American, and particularly Republican politicians, who allowed things to slide to this point are collectively to blame.”

Bluesky timeline screenshot showing another post about Donald the Dove above a shared article with that headline. Many remember this mistaken framing.

Pick your latke warrior:

First night = thinner, topped with Greek yogurt, apple sauce, and NM green chile (plus a dusting of merkén, not pictured).

Second night = thicker, topped with brisket, NM green chile, and Japanese barbecue sauce.

(Both fried in avocado oil) #chanukah #januca
Four tasty latkes topped as described in the text. Close up of the brisket + green chile latke.

What is this flag on top of a bombed out building in the background…
What appears to be a ruined or bombed building (gray, ashy, big chunks mussing) with a mysterious all-red flag on top.

Unfortunate search results in the NYT…
Search results for Alice Munro, with top article today talking about how her husband was a pedophile who targeted her daughter and other children, and wondering why she stayed silent. Next article talks about wanting to live like her, that she’s an example to follow (published in May before her daughter’s account).
