And also: a shout-out to my colleagues at NPR news. They don’t have the same problem with management/ownership as do journalists elsewhere, but they have been punished by the Admin for their coverage, and remain under threat. Still, as someone once said, they persist. www.npr.org/2026/07/26/n...

Rage-giving, innovation and cuts: How public media has survived without federal funds

A year after President Trump signed a law ending six decades of federal funding of public media, it's a time of reinvention, innovation and clear anxiety at public tv and radio stations nationwide.

There’s a phishing scam going around that targets Twitch creators. “Ooh, we messed up your payment, please log in with THIS LINK and gimme all your credentials.” • Automated emails will 99% be sent through “no-reply@twitch.tv” • Check for spelling and grammar errors. • If it’s Junk, it’s Junk!

A screenshot of a phishing email from an account claiming to be the Twitch streaming platform that says : “Twitch Interactive, Inc. would like to notify you that during a planned audit and recalculation of tax returns for the last reporting period, a technical discrepancy was identified in the tax deduction calculations for your account. As a result of the detected technical problem, excess funds were incorrectly debited from your account. We apologize for the misunderstanding and confirm that the refund procedure is currently in progress.”A screenshot of an email address that isn’t the official account of Twitch.

The reasoning here is absurd enough that it should be part of the story: "Supreme Court rules that Trump statements that Haitians 'probably have AIDS,' are 'poisoning the blood of our country,' are 'eating cats and dogs," do not constitute racial animus."

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

He’s projecting. The US govt and politicians have bent over backwards to help guys like Bezos. However, Bezos’ m.o. is to devour competition wherever it arises and he views the Fed gov as his #1 competitor. THEY are HIS villain. Not vice versa

Amazon executive chair Jeff Bezos accuses U.S. politicians of villainizing the ultra-wealthy and using tax policy as a political wedge issue to distract from bigger challenges facing the country.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING ABOUT VIRTUAL MEETINGS IN THIS NEW HELLSCAPE IS THE MULTIPLE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS FROM ALL THE “VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS” ASKING ME TO TRAIN THEIR AI FOR FREE BY CORRECTING THE ERRONEOUS MEETING NOTES IT TOOK. I LOVE THIS FUTURE! ISN’T IT GREAT?! WHO NEEDS FLYING CARS?!

In addition to being stupid (and that should not be downplayed) this is very revealing about what a certain class of person means when they talk about the economy and whose well-being is not included in its evaluation

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."
