The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
Elon Musk claims Christopher Nolan has lost ‘integrity’ over The Odyssey casting
Lupita Nyong’o is reportedly set to play Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem

An NFL team can lose. (Trust me, I'm a Jets fan.)
But NFL owners are essentially guaranteed success — no matter how bad their team is, no matter how blatantly they disregard their fans, no matter how odious they are personally.

My feature for @prospect.org's Sports Issue!
The Permanent Overclass - The American Prospect
The NFL’s billionaire owners literally can’t lose when it comes to making money. On the field? That’s another matter.

This Member of Congress finally got access to the Minneapolis detention center and her report is genuinely appalling. Please watch and share.
My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

they keep claiming the protesters are paid because they can't fathom doing something for free simply because you believe it's the right thing to do
Michele Tafoya pledges that if elected to the US Senate she will investigate who is paying the protesters in Minnesota

I'm at the point now where I automatically assume anyone downplaying the significance of the epstein revelations are in the files themselves
The Twitter Files were the most scandalous and important documents ever but the ones about prominent politicians and members of the elite being pedophiles? Yawn

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

I think what both the second Trump administration and the Epstein files have taught us is that there’s very little need of covertness or secrecy if everyone with power pretends you aren’t doing what you’re doing when you openly tell them what you’re doing

it continues to amaze me that the online far-right invented an entire conspiracy involving secret codes and elaborate disguised messages to hide pedophiles when actually these clowns were using their real emails and saying how much they love fucking kids and wondering when they could do it again

An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"
Disgusting.

In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”

there’s no other president in the history of the country who could stay in office after the allegations revealed today, regardless of party. to just be accused of what trump is accused of would, and should, be career ending. it’s insane that there aren’t immediate bipartisan demands for resignation.

I love working at the Department of Justice and participating in a conspiracy to cover up the demented 80 year old president's sex crimes. I spend 18 hours a day redacting documents and there's a putrid husk where my soul used to be

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
disturbingly plausible

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I don't know whether it is the #1 Catherine O'Hara accomplishment but the fact that she invented a manner of speaking that no other person in human history has ever attempted for Schitts Creek and made it seem realistic that her character would talk that way felt like a comedy miracle to me
