This is the platonic ideal NYT story: a feel-good celebration of the ADL and Epstein class coming together to resurrect the reputation of a notorious antisemite, and the only person criticized for recklessly downplaying the harms of antisemitism is Zohran Mamdani (who has no role in the story).
The Next Met Fashion Blockbuster and Gala Will Honor the Controversial Designer John Galliano
As famous for his antisemitic rant in 2011 as he is for his fashion, Galliano would be one of only three living designers ever to receive the honor.

Appropriate air quotes because the most infuriating part about Americans debating "lockdown" is that it simply never happened. Having to pick up your Applebees and eat it on the sectional does not count. There wasn't even a brief moment where "everything" was closed. That's not real.
if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid
I saw a viral tweet from an anti-Trump lib that was like "I miss Obama, I even miss Bush" and it had a lot of shares from big pages and over 20k likes. Why would any elite neolibs/neocons ever actually fight Trump if his existence in power makes everyday anti-Trump American libs love and miss them?
“I think Americans are terrified of feeling anything. And homophobia is simply an extreme example of the American terror that's concerned with growing up. I never met a people more infantile in my life.” —James Baldwin (Photo of James by Carl Van Vechten, 1955)
I don't mean this to sound petty, but I can't take the former AG of California seriously if she's mixing up circuit and district courts. No 1L would make this mistake, and certainly someone who was paying attention when litigating in those courts would have this down the rest of their life.
"“We need to revisit the point of expanding the court to 13 justices like we have 13 district courts,” Harris said at the National Urban League’s annual conference...also calling for a review of the Electoral College and statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, DC." www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...
A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.
Secret paid influencer campaign backing Stevens floods Michigan Senate race
Rep. Haley Stevens and the Senate Democratic PAC said they were not involved in the effort to pay for user-generated content endorsing her.

we had nothing to lose but our chains and whips
Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
very weird seeing some women speculate that at the heart of misogyny is some kind of latent homosexuality. i'm sorry but like you have to come to terms with the fact that some categorically hetero men truly emphatically subscribe to the idea that violence against women is the natural order of things

I am fifty miles from my home in LA, and someone just yelled “tourist!” at me from an early 2010s BMW 5-series.
Saw a t-shirt on an Anime Expo-goer that read “TWO INCHES TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT,” but that was far less self-shaming than the old guy strutting in his “SPCX” shirt.
I’m seeing a lot of Libs being smug about MAGA’s climate ignorance. But Dems r the ones who subscribe to “net zero by 2050” which is like saying “stop running towards the cliff when ur 10 feet past the cliff’s edge.” Denying a threat or believing in it & doing nothing = same results.
