I was the newspaper’s editorial page editor in 2020 and 2021, and presided over the board’s endorsement of Joe Biden in 2020. Months earlier, before I took the job, Soon-Shiong had stopped the editorial board from making an endorsement in the Democratic presidential primary. (The board wanted to support Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.) Internal tension over that decision played a role in the departure of my predecessor, Nicholas Goldberg.

trump is melting down in a way that is actually getting the attention of cable news so he is probably going into hiding. the question is whether news anchors will badger the campaign about it (no)

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:

go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

Funny Witch Comic by War and Peas.

Panel 1: A witch is sitting at a table with a wine glass, smiling at her date. She asks, "So what are you looking for in a girl?"
Panel 2: In front of her sits a zombie girl, with green decayed skin and torn clothes, holds a cocktail and enthusiastically shouts, "BRAAAINS."
Panel 3: The witch, now excited with wide eyes and clasped hands.
Panel 4: The witch continues to smile and eagerly responds, "Oh my god! Me, too!"
