Kate Middleton has cancer, Kensington Palace announced after months of speculation about the princess’s health

wow

One example of this, which I think was just hastiness on a breaking story, was a weird Politico item that recapped Trump's SocSec/Medicare history without mentioning his record as president

A party of willful suckers.

“Look at all these fancy professors who think they know more about academia than me, a self-professed expert with an undergrad degree!”

Chris overspecialized on racism and now when he tries to insult a white person he’s just like “you would probably be late to class”

imma need a minute

If you’re making a political argument that rests on the phrase “Sydney Sweeney’s boobs” I’m going to assume you can identify brands of pepper spray by taste.

🎯:

“The media, and especially the New York Times, helped to create this problem. They co-produced Rufo’s plagiarism brand with their obsessive coverage of Gay, in a way they did not cover public figures facing similar accusations, such as the President of Stanford or Justice Gorsuch.”

Elon Musk Pushes a Vile, Toxic Hate Video—and Exposes His Own Scam The great replacement theory video that Musk has pinned to the top of his feed is sick. And it shows that he’s turning X into a safe space for far-right propaganda.

Elon Musk told Don Lemon that he doesn't subscribe to great replacement theory.

Yet Musk has been pushing a vile, toxic video all about great replacement at the top of his X feed.

I looked at his public statements. His clean-up act is nonsense. 1/

crazy story

I deleted my post that said Ohtani has it in his contract he can opt out if Ippei is fired. It’s unclear if that’s true.

And regardless, Ohtani is obviously not going to opt out of his contract if the dodgers fired a guy his lawyers are saying stole millions of dollars from him.

I’ve… never read an obit like this before. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/a... (via @theferocity.bsky.social, 🎁 link)

relatedly, the fact that someone would rather use their senate seat to get listeners for a podcast than use it to govern or influence the direction of the federal government is a testament to the perverse incentives of conservative politics and the stark weakness of congress

Elon Musk’s X bans transgender Harvard lawyer for naming a neo-Nazi Alejandra Caraballo says X is protecting right-wing extremists and silencing transgender voices.

Twitter explicitly protects neo nazis now.

We're at (or quite near) the point where the below — ⌘-F "Trump supporters", ⌘-V "X users" — would be an entirely fair comment:

The "plagiarism" here is just the names of major scientific studies and the dates of data collection.

if this gets signed into law i am going to make a hard push for my agent to try to book me a talk at an alabama university, just to see what happens

Hepcat / No Worries / House of Blues - Anaheim, CA / 10/19/18 Hepcat / No Worries / House of Blues - Anaheim, CA / 10/19/18

Was very saddened to learn this morning that Greg Lee, the lead singer from Hepcat, died unexpectedly yesterday. I met him decades ago, and his stage persona as the world's nicest guy *underplayed* how nice he was in person. Go watch/listen to some Hepcat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flia...

Tweet from Elon Musk on March 19, 2020: "based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April."

Yes, before anyone asks: the new Trump lawsuit against ABC and Snuffleupagus is utter horseshit and relies on a theory already specifically rejected, correctly, by a federal court. Pure vexatious performative litigation.

tell me more about how trump and biden are the same on gaza

He said, “When I started this case, I suggested that the conduct would stop if Elon Musk would make a statement and a commitment to his employees that this is not tolerated. We haven’t heard that after seven years of litigation, a nine-figure verdict then a seven-figure verdict. Why isn’t he stopping this conduct? That’s what doesn’t make sense to me. Tesla is supposed to be the factory of the future. But this conduct is from the Jim Crow past.”

After fighting him for seven years, Tesla has finally settled with Owen Diaz over his allegations that the electric automaker has a racist workplace culture.

Take a moment to read his lawyer's statement.

White male fragility on display

I remember when I was 3-4, my mom asked me what I wanted to eat for lunch. I said "a hot dog". She ended up giving me just the hot dog and kept insisting that if I wanted the bun, I should ask for a hot dog sandwich.
