Commercial photographer and director turning everyday products into showstoppers. From Idaho cow towns to NYC, I’ve mastered bold visuals—and once directed a "Grease" remake starring my siblings. Spielberg’s still not returning my calls

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Wondering why the various AI systems in the wild haven't really done anything wonderful for mankind yet. Such as "how come they haven't figured out how to cure illnesses or solve climate change?" You know, important things. Then I remembered .... oh , humans haven't figured out how to do those yet.

From @juddlegum.bsky.social "Popular Information" newsletter this morning.
"In other words, these banks are willing to lend Argentina money as long as they can keep the profits, while losses are shouldered by U.S. taxpayers."
That's right, bail them out, keep the profits, screw the taxpayers.

1. Trump and his allies have concocted a series of lies about the horrific murder of a 23-year-old woman in Charlotte in a transparent effort to secure an advantage in a critical North Carolina race that could swing control of the U.S. Senate.
It's nasty stuff.

A tragic murder, a baseless smear, and the fight for the U.S. Senate
A high-stakes race for an open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina has gotten nasty very quickly.

Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention.
The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.

The reaction to Mamdani shows how broken America’s political culture is.
In any sane democracy, child care, public transit, and housing are center-left policy.
For most of his policies, Mamdani is not far left. But because both parties are on the right, he gets framed that way. It’s insane.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard.

Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
