All chickens/roosting aside how would you expect the person who incited the death threat against you to react when you tell them about the death threat they incited against you
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

Last week I had a very distracting 5 minutes where I was in a car with music playing, with earbuds in listening to my own music, with a (completely unrelated) song stuck in my head, all while trying to read.

Something that has stuck with me for years now is that Ed Brubaker has made more in residuals for the 5 second cameo he had in Captain America: The Winter Soldier than he ever did at Marvel literally creating the comics it’s based on.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

Was JUST talking w NY-17 candidate @mikesacks.bsky.social about this:
"The real story isn't about the ads you see but the power you don't. It's about the candidates who never run, the policies that never get debated, and the slow, systemic drift of our democracy away from the will of the majority."
"The real story isn't about the ads you see but the power you don't. It's about the candidates who never run, the policies that never get debated, and the slow, systemic drift of our democracy away from the will of the majority."
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

Anyone else noticed that the "default" cover art for black women's genre fiction is a black woman's face in profile? It's very strange that I've seen this like a half dozen times
