Health Experts Recommend Standing Up At Desk, Leaving Office, Never Coming Back

At the Masco town hall, an older veteran approached Rep. Moulton. He said, “we need you to be willing to be arrested before we are.”

Moulton didn’t reply at all. But it became a question I asked myself: “am I willing to go to jail to protect my neighbours from tyranny?”

That is the bar right now.

Bari Weiss signs huge deal to usher CBS News into its Vichy era: defector.com/bari-weiss-s...
The Ellisons and the rest of the billionaire class don't need the aerodynamic drag of association with fringier right-wing stuff; they want the prestige and lubricity of affiliation with important, elite institutions. That's the value proposition of the Ivy-incubated, Wall Street Journal and New York Times veteran Weiss: obsequiousness to power and capital without any of the wacky stuff, the imprimatur of elite consensus unburdened by any inconvenient commitment to reporting on the business of powerful people. What does this look like in practical terms?

Hiring Bari Weiss to bring down the temperature of the discourse is like hiring Animal from the Muppets to reduce workplace noise

New CBS polling shows that voters have soured on Trump's handling of economic issues.

60% of voters now disapprove of his overall handling of the economy.

On inflation it's even worse for Trump, with 65% disapproving.

I mean toasts are a perfectly cromulent way to say 'that save you just requested was successful' but that's about it.

compelling advice for anyone currently working at meta, by @rusty.todayintabs.com
screengrab of text: “[Turn to CAM 2, flip chair around backward] Meta employees, let me rap at you a minute. Sure, “You Can Always Quit,” as we like to say around here. But at this crucial juncture, you can both protect your own livelihood and do so much more good for the world by not quitting. That’s right! Don’t quit, just stop working. Show up every day, don’t complain, don’t draw attention to yourself. But don’t accomplish anything. If you are working on a project, commit in your heart to never finishing it. This will be your last project at Meta, and you will be “working on it” until they force you out. If others rely on you to get their work done, make sure they can’t. If your role involves reviewing pull requests, you and I both know you can find a reason to reject every one. In fact, wouldn’t it be fun to see how many other employees you can drive out first? If you work in an open office space, make sure you chew loudly at all times. Microwave fish in the break room every single day. Be creative! You’ll have plenty of time to think of ideas, with all the work you’re not getting done.”

I mean, everyone should be canceling their Paramount+ accounts and boycotting CBS over this if/when it happens, but do it when it actually is official, not when Dylan Byers at Puck (from what I can tell he is the sole source) says it's happening.

Can I just say that while I don't doubt that the reporting is correct, this quoted headline is some bullshit? "Paramount Officially Acquiring..: Report" makes it sound like it's been reported in an official location, but it hasn't been. More correct would be "Paramount Reportedly Acquiring...."

Absolutely the best feature of Paramount+. I wish Fox had a site with similar behavior...

The most interesting thing about King Charles the First...

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

BREAKING

YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle the lawsuit brought by President Trump against the company for suspending his account.

Most of the funds will go towards the fund the president setup for the White House ballroom.

Apropos of nothing a full page ad from the Onion
Full-page newspaper ad showing the Paramount Pictures logo, mountain with a semicircle of stars above the peak. Below the mountain, text reads in large, bold letters:
“Paramount
YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY OFF TRUMP FOR SOMETHING ONE DAY, TOO.”
At the bottom, in small text: “not a paid advertisement".

59 House Democrats have signed on to Congressman Ro Khanna's letter calling for official recognition of Palestinian statehood.

Seth Moulton didn't.

The Massachusetts 6th District deserves a Representative who will block the bombs instead of arming the genocide in Gaza.
