lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

Last night I was at the Hippodrome minding my lil business waiting to play poker and a young woman wearing a pink penis headband gasped and said “Are you Roxane Gay?” I said I was and then she grabbed her friends also wearing headbands and they were fans and peppered me with questions.

Sooo. Apparently that asshole has been using the threat of tariffs to extort countries into cutting massive deals with Felon’s companies. And why not? He got away with extortion last time thanks to Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

Vital point here. The frames of political discourse — which are shaped by the structure of the info environment and by both strategic & organic communication — shape how people interpret their own experiences. We're not dealing with a problem of bad "facts" ... but one of corrupted sensemaking.

Unsurprisingly, Prasad and Makarys business partner, Adam Cifu supports their vaccine ban. He feels that these two doctors get to decide for you what you “need.” If you “want” a vaccine, that’s too bad. You have no day in the matter. The government says no unless Big Pharma does fresh RCTs.
