You can tell who is in “the Club” and who isn’t by who gets chased out of journalism or scrape and claw back into it versus the people who one year later come out of “exile” after gross breach in ethics and get glossy profiles and a book deal.

“Baby, don’t worry,” he said. “It’s not a worm.”

www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...
I did not like to think about it just as later I would not like to think about the worm in his brain that other people found so funny. I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein. Others thought he was a madman; he was not quite mad the way they thought, but I loved the private ways that he was mad. I loved that he was insatiable in all ways, as if he would swallow up the whole world just to know it better if he could. He made me laugh, but I winced when he joked about the worm. "Baby, don't worry," he said. "It's not a worm. ." A doctor he trusted had reviewed the scans of his brain obtained by The New York Times, he said, and concluded that the shadowy figure was likely not a parasite at all. He sighed. It was too late to interfere with what had already vaulted from the sphere of meme to the sphere of screwy legend, but at least I did not have to worry about the worm that was not a worm in his brain.

New York AG James said she's received complaints of stores in her state refusing EBT cards and has already sent out several cease and desist letters. Stores are not allowed to refuse SNAP benefits. If this happens to you, call the AG's hotline to report at 1-800-771-7755.

And pave the way for a national ban for adults as well

In a truly insane layer cake of misinformation, AltNPS claims a "leaked" memo from CPAC shows a planned event for a third Trump term.

Except this memo wasn't "leaked," it was openly handed out at CPAC to @gabydvj.bsky.social eight months ago, and it SAYS FEB. 2025 IN THE PICTURE.
Alt National Park Service: This comes from Brian Allen, who states this is a leaked CPAC press memo reveals the “Third Term Project” is hosting a February 20 event titled “The Case for Presidential Tenure Reform.” We’re sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasn’t real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said there’s a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one. A screenshot of a Twitter post. Brian Allen shares a picture of a "leaked" memo from CPAC about the "Third Term Project" and calls it an "EXCLUSIVE." Journalist Gaby Del Valle quotes Allen's tweet, saying "tf you mean 'exclusive' lmao this is a picture I took of a press release back in February."

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments
