Someone much more clever than I am pointed out that Frosty the Snowman could be considered a golem, so I ran with that.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Roberts and Brain Funeral Directors have asked us to clarify that, contrary to rumours, they are not actually two laboratory mice disguised as humans, one of them isn't a 'genius', and the other isn't 'insane' and they have no current plans to 'take over the world'.

New, from me:
The Times published a piece accusing a man born in Africa as claiming to be African-American in a failed college admission.
They viewed this story to be newsworthy enough to grant anonymity to a eugenicist working with hacked personal data.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it
