AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in.

If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place.

AP stands alone.

Sad but true.

I'm not convinced. Zuckerberg and Dorsey weren't obligated to follow government guidance. I'm curious about what consequences, if any, they'd face for ignoring it. It's not a fair comparison.
What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

He's likely concerned about someone targeting him, and he's eager to prove his loyalty to the Broligarchy, showing complete disregard for the working people who voted him into office.

Imagine him at a ballgame, crafting a sculpture by using the ice from the urinals.

I sense it.
In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling.

This is my Equivalent for today.

Now he's taken down the jumbotrons, leaving his supporters in the cold with no idea what to do next. But don't worry, he'll shift the blame to Biden to rile them up even more.
It’s NFL Sunday and every football fan knows you can’t claim record turnout when there are empty seats.

Not sure if anyone has seen it yet, but Roseanne Barr just released a rap called "Why Rome Fell"—I'm not sure what the official title is, but it definitely explores why Rome fell—that you should check out now, just make sure to watch it with the volume off

Like break your volume knob if you have to

An oligarchic kakistocracy in our lifetime—how delightful.
Welp, this is it! Our democracy ends tomorrow:

Imagine how many vampire movies you could create with The Count! Sure, he's from Sesame Street, but just think about it.
Making animated movies into live action: tiresome, unnecessary, lame

Re-making every classic film into a muppet movie with a single human actor: sophisticated, erudite, revolutionary

That's great news!
The face of a cat who has finally finished his antibiotic regimen and now will no longer have to be tackled and have a squirt of amoxicillin forced down his throat twice a day. Both cat and humans are equally relieved.
