Theory I floated in a GC that I'll go ahead & surface here: they used parts of the illegal, highly secret anti-domestic-terror apparatus to find this guy, & all the stuff we're seeing in the official report is classic parallel construction.
I’m sorry but a nutrition bro being caught at McDonald’s with an anti-healthcare “manifesto” is really giving “we immediately found the passports of the 9/11 hijackers” vibes

There’s something deeply cynical about asking God to solve a problem that you’re not willing to solve yourself. That’s not “prayer.” That’s perpetrating a fiendish con to cover your profit off the assault rifle body count.
New House Speaker Mike Johnson offers prayers in response to the latest horrible mass shooting. Can't believe nobody has thought of that before.

Friends, it’s time for more sexy soil talk. I’m keen for you to stop and think about this: regenerative farming is key to fixing food nutrition and climate change. There’s no better place to start than with nurturing our soil. Hit the link in @NRDC’s bio to see how you can help.

The Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers said “member companies are aligned and are negotiating together to reach a resolution.”

Signaling increasing frustration with the Writers Guild of America, Hollywood studios took the unusual step of publicizing their latest offer to the guild.

WGA West! As you make your picketing plans this week, please consider coming to Universal on Tuesday at 10am. I'll be there with several other members of Guild leadership to help deliver a petition demanding safe & accessible picketing conditions. K-rails now! #WGAStrong

My gut feeling is, major entertainment companies (mainly Netflix; everybody takes their marching orders from them, it seems) will barely notice or comment on what happened at the box office this weekend, much less draw the correct inference and settle with the writers and actors.

An essential thread, calling absolute bullshit on the AMPTP’s claims of economic hardship.
