probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"
@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

I’m sure someone is writing/has written a think piece about how the structure of arts funding in the US especially creates the environment that allows someone like JE to prey on a student at Juilliard for multiple years.

What do we think David Stern means here when he says Valery Gergiev is "a great source of P"?
Also, this appears to be either a banker or the deceased former NBA Chairman, not the son of Isaac Stern.

They had the audacity to claim Bluesky didn't have the juice, but not since peak Twitter have I logged off for an evening and come back to my entire feed speaking in a new language of rapid-fire in-jokes that I have to reverse-engineer to figure out what's happening. That, my friends, is The Juice.
Two big guys walked up front and started yelling at the pilot and the pilot screamed that they weren't going to Davos, they were going to Vienna, Virginia and that he had to get home to his family.

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.
So this is why Trump is fixated on Greenland. Vengeance strikes again. This guy is dangerous.

I’m #OneOfTheTwo, also a classically trained singer, have a family member with long covid, and wear a mask to keep myself and those around me safer. Masking is community care.
It is shameful that Jon Stewart would deride us, and Jon Favreau just laughed along and didn’t defend his staff.

#OneOfTheTwo and one of the many Jon Stewart mocked this week. COVID took my job, my voice (I was a classically trained mezzo soprano), for a long time my ability to read. I don’t want to invite it in again.
Attitudes like Stewart’s stigmatize, make it hard to socialize or exist in public.
