back in march, mark warner was doing tiktok’s or reels or some shit about the great deal they were negotiating before ultimately voting “no” while schatz of all people voted “yes.” the vote swapping isn’t subtle and every single fucking one of them is complicit in maintaining the facade

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Finally gave millionaire's shortbread a try to see if I could pull it off. It's messy but tastes quite good. This holiday season, I'll be making a gingerbread version. 🍽️

It’s one social media, Michael. How much could it take to monitor it, 30 people?
NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...
ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team
Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint.
I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

Oof. Rolling Stone dot com about to find out how many people were mostly subscribing for Alan Sepinwall.
I know nothing about Rolling Stone and its management, but Alan Sepinwall is the smartest, hardest working TV critic working today. His work has elevated the medium. I don't watch a show without checking to see what he thought of it, before or after.
Rolling Stone fired Alan Sepinwall, Status’ Oliver Darcy reports. That’s probably the end of my subscription.

A thought I keep returning to — and that’s underscored by today’s news — is that a legacy publication or a deep-pocketed investor could hire an astonishing array of talent right now and make the best newspaper in America overnight.
Well, this is fucked up and depressing.
