We break down everything wrong with David Ellison's 'desperate' NYT op-ed. Plus, right-wing media have an Islamophobic meltdown over Abdul El-Sayed's big win in Michigan's Dem primary. Read the latest in 'Ragebait' from @justinbaragona.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/why-bari-w...

this is really interesting because it's both easier than ever to "experience" war (Telegram drone footage snuff films) but more difficult than ever to perceive the costs of war (economic malaise, diplomatic sclerosis, security state brutality)

I don’t think Americans know what it’s like to lose lose a war. Yes sure the US lost in Vietnam but obviously the costs were way bigger for uh the Vietnamese

Grokipedia appears not to have updated any articles since April 24. @noupside.bsky.social and @rer.bsky.social explore why it matters that the encyclopedia hasn’t edited itself or processed edits from humans in more than 3 months. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/grok...

It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike.   When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.

Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business

Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...

I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.

Perez Hilton appeared bloody, wielding what looked like a knife, for FIFTEEN MINUTES on a TikTok livestream before the feed was cut. The company says "moderator error" allowed the stream to continue for so long without intervention.

TikTok Says ‘Moderator Error’ Kept Perez Hilton Livestream Up

The gossip blogger was on TikTok covered in what appeared to be blood and wielding a knifelike object before the platform cut his stream. He’s since been hospitalized.

It works because the X-teams don't solve their problems and can't prevent the massacre. Claremont had been sharpening the 'mutant as hated minority' metaphor in the years leading up to this event and Mutant Massacre was a brutally effective escalation.

NEW in Ragebait: “Horseshit.” That’s what a CNN on-air personality succinctly told me about Paramount CEO David Ellison’s recent New York Times op-ed, which argued that his critics were wrong about his politics and that he’d be a good steward of CNN. zeteo.com/p/why-bari-w...

Allowing a US billionaire-owned cruise line to ruthlessly exploit foreign workers in Australian waters is "good news" for passengers and tourism businesses says Labor. This same statement could have come from any of Labor, the Coalition or One Nation.

If we get to a certain person writing a third piece about the Odyssey and how much they don't like it, I'm going to think that person just really likes the attention and wants to goose up their book sales even more.

A Palestinian father has opened an indoor play centre in Gaza to give children a sense of normality as they continue to endure near-daily Israeli attacks, with free entry for families who cannot afford to pay.

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
