Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:

maybe you see this and think "wow hannity is pathetic" or "trump is so small he demands obsequiousness even at someone else's funeral" I see this and think it is just an absolute delight that even at his own funeral nobody gives a shit about Lindsey Graham
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

It’s stiff competition these days but Musk is really vying for “most loathsome”
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · last wk.On some level, fact-checking Musk's "zero died" claim misses the point. He's communicating in a coded race-war trope that his global fascist audience will instantly grasp: Zero people died *who matter.* He sees these USAID cuts as a dry run for much worse to come. newrepublic.com/article/2135...
When an absolute hit like Strip Law can’t make it it proves Netflix is broken and dumb and bad. Go watch Strip Law.
Cullen@hellocullen.bsky.social · 2w agothere are ideas from this that im keeping secret for various reasons but heres some of the stuff we would've done
There are many, many well-documented cases of the aid cuts being directly died to deaths, and it's unfortunate that the Economist’s editor-in-chief didn't bring those to this interview. Not that it would have swayed Musk, but it would've stymied his flood of bullshit.

I am super fortunate the people I love love me back because I am an absolute embarrassment when I travel anywhere. I have to repeat the sounds. I have to repeat the sounds. I’m going to Denmark in August and I’m going to get us kicked out when I repeat “smørrebrød” back at folks.

Choosing what to play next on Switch 2 is nearly impossible, but getting Barlow’s stamp of approval of Yoshi gives it an edge over Pokopia and Star Fox for me
Sam Barlow 🔥@mrsambarlow.bsky.social · 2w agoI'll shut up soon, but everyone who hasn't needs to get with Yoshi & the Mysterious Book. It's one of the most interesting games Nintendo has put out in years, up there in the conversation with ToTK and Bananza - it's a game made up only of the chewy fun bits, no filler all killer
(saw the movie tonight, enjoyed it a lot even if not nearly woke enough for my taste)
this comparison leaves out a key point: the Edsel sold roughly twice the Cybertruck's volume at a time when the overall car market was just 6m units/year instead of the current 16m units/year that makes the Cybertruck the much, much bigger flop, hands down

A hearty happy 80th to The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, forever my favorite cartoon!
A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

There’s a lot of kickass stuff in the trailers for Denshattack (and a lot of incredible tracks from Tee Lopes) that I’ll never see or hear because I’m stuck trying to gold medal the first handful of stages
