HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

One of my projects is to create a plugin that translates mainstream media posts from Newspeak into English. This is the glossary I'm using. Its an homage to Mencken.

In the Gulag Archipelago, A. Solzhenitsyn tells the story of a Moscow meeting of the Communist Party in 1936 where a tribute was made to Stalin and the applause lasted for 10-15 minutes - no one wanted to stop clapping first for fear of being arrested. The first person to stop clapping was arrested.
Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.
the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

Non-zero chance the poor souls on this flight will be sent directly to Conakry Central prison and tortured to death if their families can't afford to pay a sufficient bribe. Echo of the St. Louis.

Forbes, like most business magazines, is staffed predominantly - but not exclusively - by Republicans. This headline was certainly written by a Trump supporter. No serious economist saw the January "bounce" in jobs as "a turnaround" when the 2025 numbers were revised down by 1,000,000+.
This is not okay.
U.S. Rep. David Scott is only partly at fault in my opinion.
At what point do we blame the people around these politicians for artificially propping them up and misleading their constituents?
together-ments is too hard to say!
For a brief time after 9/11 I worked at the former Citibank HQ on Park Avenue. They had a gigantic cafeteria where "Every Thursday is Earth Day". As for MTWFSS - something else.
Tolyatti resident Polina Yevtushenko, 26, is sentenced to 14 years in prison. She was charged with spreading “fake news” about the military, insults against Vladimir Putin, inciting terrorism and preparing for treason for talking about the Ukrainian army with a resident of Samara Nikolai Komarov
Nancy Pelosi and the Times editorial board. No one else I can think of. Why would anyone support him? The awful lane in the next presidential primary is going to be crowded - Newsom Rahm Shapiro etc.

Ditto for the NJ suburbs. They ran a dirty, covert campaign against Tom Malinowski. The campaigns against Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman in the last cycle were trial runs. An ugly - tinged by racism - business that is doing serious harm to the Democrat party.
It is an inexpensive way to boost state-wide races. I find this argument very compelling. The fact that it leads to victories in unexpected places like school district elections is strategically very important as well - it creates a foundation we can build on.
