Israel edits a tweet deflecting responsibility for the Gaza hospital attack 22 minutes after it is posted to wholly remove three timestamped videos (presented in multiplex) whose relevance had been called into question.

A landmark moment in the history of the tweet editing function.

(In the interim between the original and edited tweets, reporters noted that the time stamp of the videos didn't match the timing of the Gaza hospital attack.)

Even if it sucks as reporters to lose Twitter followers, it’s worth remembering that the Jack Posobiec type really only wants to be on X to have proximity to us.

Their whole lives are about performing being a journalist and as X loses credibility, their game unravels.

X will begin charging new users $1 a year X owner Elon Musk has long floated the idea of charging users $1 for the platform. Now, the team is moving the idea into production.

"X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, will reportedly begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet, reply, quote, repost, like, bookmark, and create lists"

“I Don’t Think They Care”: Virginia Is Slow-Walking the Fix to a Wrongful Voter Purge - Bolts With elections weeks away, state officials admitted improperly removing some people from voter rolls. Local advocates say the state is doing too little, too late to remedy the harm.

Youngkin’s administration released a report last month that celebrated having kicked all these people off voter rolls.

Turns out… removals were illegal.

And with 3 weeks to go before elections, state is slow-walking fixing this. https://boltsmag.org/virginia-erroneous-voter-purge/

Statement from President Joe Biden Jill and I were shocked and sickened to learn of the brutal murder of a six-year-old child and the attempted murder of the child’s mother in their home yesterday in Illinois. The child’s Palestinian Muslim family came to America seeking what we all seek—a refuge to live, learn, and pray in peace. This horrific act of hate has no place in America, and stands against our fundamental values: freedom from fear for how we pray, what we believe, and who we are. As Americans, we must come together and reject Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry and hatred. I have said repeatedly that I will not be silent in the face of hate. We must be unequivocal. There is no place in America for hate against anyone. We join everyone here at the White House in sending our condolences and prayers to the family, including for the mother’s recovery, and to the broader Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim American communities.

What is the Gaza Strip? The Gaza Strip is a small area bordering Israel and Egypt on the Mediterranean Sea. It's one of two Palestinian territories.

Men’s Rights Activists Defend Russell Brand Following a slew of rape and sexual assault allegations against the actor, comedian, and podcast host, a number of men’s rights activists defended Russell Brand.

“My hope is that if I defend Russell Brand from his rape allegations online, he’ll turn around and do the same thing for me one day.”

I wasn't aware that Russell Brand found out these allegations were coming in 2020. So he made his right wing turn after that, and he's just been waiting around & making his dopey conspiracy videos for 3 years in anticipation of all this finally hitting the media? is that really the timeline?
