πŸ“ŒThen there's this ... A network correspondent of repute speaks his mind and says what everybody knows, and is verifiably true: The vile Stephen Miller is a "world-class hater."

πŸ“ŒIt's past time for people who know better to speak up. THAT'S what he was thinking, NYT. Lean in and follow the example.

While Palestinian families starve, the Israeli government is escalating its assault on Gaza.

The U.S. must stop the flow of bombs and bullets to the IDF.

No more destruction and carnage.

There’s been an influx of big creators onto Bluesky, but there’s no direct way for them to monetize their work yet. Are you going to change that?

We’re giving them great trafficβ€”and that can convert to money. One big thing is we don’t downrank links, so if you are a YouTube creator or you have a Patreon and you post those links on Bluesky, you’re getting higher link traffic, even with a smaller follower count. This is true of small creators and even news organizations. We’ve heard from large news organizations that Bluesky has better click-throughs and better subscription rates. [WIRED can vouch for this: The platform has become a top traffic driver and source of new subscribers.]

Can confirm @jay.bsky.team here: Bluesky has become a great driver of referral traffic. Not demoting link posts is huge, and the community of readers / responders here feels more thoughtful and engaged. X has become essentially worthless for the task

After first seeing it with a friend last weekend at an IMAX theater in the city, I saw #Sinners again todayβ€”this time, soloβ€”at a regular degular theater in my Queens neighborhood. Going to the matinee show, I saw things I missed the first time around, so #SinnersMovie rewards repeat viewing. #movies

Trump & the GOP are already coming for your food & healthcare. Their tariffs are raising prices.

And now they want to seize your wages, tax refunds & Social Security if your student loans are in default.

This is cruel, it hurts our most vulnerableβ€”and we have a bill to stop it.

We devote musicals, miniseries, and documentaries to the founders of our first republic and not to those of our second, who saw this country with clear eyes.

We need fewer encomiums for Jefferson, Madison, and Lafayette. More respect for Sumner, Stevens, Bingham and Douglass (Frederick).

Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza.

Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel.

It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

And it's a bit concerning that he is a major investor in Substack.

Marc Andreesen is shaping media into his vision and some of y'all are just letting him. You are letting SS use your left leaning journalism to launder right wing extremism. It's making me nuts.

Bribery is an impeachable offense.

Trump isn’t just breaking norms, he’s selling U.S. influence to the highest bidder.

Following a medical event on the field last night, ACFC's Savy King was transported by EMS to the hospital. Savy left the field in stable condition, and currently remains stable and will be undergoing further evaluation. League protocols were followed from both a medical and game operations perspective. We are grateful to the Angel City medical staff as well as to local paramedics who handled this difficult situation seamlessly. As always, the NWSL will review and determine if changes to that protocol need to be made. We share everyone's concern about Savy, and our thoughts are with her, her family, the Utah Royals players and staff, and the Angel City players, staff and community.
