"Here's a chance to tell her story in her words. And of course, launder her image and make a sh*t ton of money."

In the newest satirical video from Zeteo's Frank Cappello, the ghostwriter of Kamala Harris' new book on the 2024 election shares his secrets for writing a bestselling political memoir.

I am just mad the Democrats didn't think of it first. If they said this it would be "socialism" so of course they wouldn't come out with a simple promise like this without testing it in a focus group, then hiding it in obtuse language.

Our President shares a list of words no longer allowed on late night comedy shows.

New media policy & new ballroom, thank you to our glorious leader!

What about comedy dell'arte?

I can think of a number of other examples. I think the way you define art may be slightly too narrow.

Saw this #SesameStreet reel on Instagram and felt so seen, it hurt.

"And it only Tuesday."

I wasn't expecting Sesame Street to still be making hella-relatable-to-me content when I was in my 50s, but dang.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant. “I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.” ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss.

A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Alas

Better off Dead?

Disagree about the shade. The irony points out the hypocrisy. Our country is only allowed to feel sympathy when this happens to a white person from the dominant political party.

Marvel too!

What is Trump’s announcement? Wrong answers only.

Would they understand if I walked up to them and said "fun fun. Cheap cheap?"

Does she put her toys in the shoe and then attack it to free them?

This was Bella. She loved babies. She used to sleep in my son's crib with him sometimes, once he was big enough.

Name those blossoms!

I am just waiting for them to charge her with assaulting a police officer and then forcing her to sign an agreement that she won't sue in order to have the charges dropped.

He may have been charged with assault but that charge was later dropped. He then pleaded guilty to littering which makes it sound like he threw a paper cup at someone.

I submitted a Sunshine Law request regarding timestamped communication before, during, and after the storm.

I’ve been receiving the same message since my request was made on 6/20. But I imagine that something as simple as a call record for one device was made available for this report?

Haven't seen WotW on Prime. but I read the book and was genuinely surprised how terrible it was.

They probably never should have built that shopping center on an abandoned native American graveyard.

A story about St Louis Coubty police working with the questionable company 1st Phorm: …. “founder Andy Frisella caused a firestorm by maligning female officers on his Real AF podcast. "In my opinion, women shouldn't be in the fucking field and police officers. I just don't think they should be, Frisella said-leading to wide condemnation, including by Chiefs Robert Tracy…”
