Kash Patel's girlfriend being protected by FBI SWAT agents as security perk
Agents on a detail with the country singer would presumably be unable to respond or delayed in responding to other incidents, according to sources.

You're a parasitic ant queen eyeing the colony of another species. You have a simple plan:
1. Hide your scent by rubbing workers on your body
2. Infiltrate the nest
3. Spray the queen with chemicals that goad her daughters into tearing her to bits
4. All hail the usurper!

This is awful for Paste, awful for my friends, awful for the industry as a whole. (Someone hire Lacy!!!)
Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

Racism is fascism practiced on Black people first.
Hitler based the Nuremberg laws on US Jim Crow. He invaded Russia because he wanted his own California.
The US shifting from a racist country to a fascist country basically means "Start treating everyone like you've always treated Black people."

If I had to predict a high-impact story that is flying under the radar now but will play a big role in next year's major federal and state elections in the U.S., it'll be electricity prices and data centers. Easy-to-understand affordability and corruption story.

Per my preschooler's request: a chocolate layer cake with a t-rex wearing a hat in a boat fishing for a salmon.
It has raspberry puree between the layers and Italian meringue buttercream on the outside.
