Incredible NYT headline and subhead where the writer has to remind you that this is a bad thing lol

Media literacy is being able to understand why that last part is included here, but not for any story about the US abandoning its clean energy initiatives.

Gonna be a lot of lawsuits against UPS for property destruction.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 8h

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Spontaneous Carcinometamorphosis, commonly known as Mancini's disease after the famed boxer-turned-crustacean Bruno Mancini, is a disease that will slowly turn skeleton to exoskeleton, hands to claws, lungs to gills, until a human being finds itself where all the roads of evolution lead: crab.

A textbook anatomical drawing of a human with a large crab claw for an arm. Some of the organs inside appear to be that of a crab's.

A black-and-white photo of a patient in a hospital, being held by two nurses. The man's arms are now crab claws, and his skin is turning into an exoskeleton. His eyes are now at the end of stalks.

A textbook showing three black-and-white pictures of a person's arm turning into a crab claw. The three stages read "Presymptomatic patient", with a regular man's arm, "Exoskeletalization", where the arms turns hard and segmented and the fingers start fusing, and "late stage transformation", where the arm is fully crab-like.

It might not seem like much. But if ANYONE use ANY artist's work to distribute product for profit or not for profit, without the artist's permission, it's stealing.

I know there might be some people who will say, "but it's exposure!"

No. Full stop. PAY THE ARTIST.

Legendary interview moment with the director of Morbius about Jared Leto’s behavior on the set of Morbius

uproxx.com/movies/morbi...

I heard a story about filming and I want to see if this is true. Someone told me that Jared Leto was so committed to playing Michael Morbius that even when he had to go to the bathroom, he would use his crutches and slowly limp to get to the bathroom. But it was taking so long between for pee breaks, that a deal was made with him to get him a wheelchair so someone could wheel him there quicker and he agreed to that. Is this true?

Yes.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Nothing more Harvard than for these professors to think the solution is “inform the New York Times” rather than “give the students lower grades.”

NYT push alert reading: Harvard's Campus Culture
Students who skip class and fail to do the reading still get high grades, a group of professors say. Now, they are trying to change the culture.

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
