Disney says “we’re going to renovate Tomorrowland” without giving a single date or detail, and a thousand vloggers post hour-long videos talking about a million things that were never said. Disney never said it was “fixing” the Yeti, either, but every influencer said it was.

Today is an important anniversary for me. I was recently diagnosed with cancer on my spine. Six months ago today, after dawn, I went into surgery to remove and replace part of my spine: a corpectomy and fusion. 1/5

This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana? He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in. And that’s where they detained him.

Has the U.S. military ever been more grievously mismanaged than by Hegseth? Munitions depletion. Lost illegal wars. War crimes. Institutional racism and sexism. Shattered relations with allies. Strengthened rivals. Low transparency. Religious extremism. Junk science.

I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.

India supplies approximately 50% of all U.S. generic drugs, and these face the highest tariff rates: • Antibiotics: Penicillin, amoxicillin • Cardiovascular medications: Generic versions of cholesterol drugs, blood thinners • Diabetes medications: Metformin, insulin analogs • Pain relievers: Ibuprofen, acetaminophen 2. China-Dependent Active Ingredients China supplies active ingredients for: • >95% of ibuprofen and acetaminophen • ~45% of penicillin • Many other commonly used medications' base components

Amazon workers on federal aid nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025. During that time, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth jump by $139B as Amazon profits hit record highs. No corporation as profitable as Amazon should be paying its workers so little they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive.
