The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

It’s so funny that Elon was like, “Trump’s bill doesn’t do enough to hurt poor people—so you all should know he’s a pedophile.”

I, personally, would like Arsenal to sign a CF as soon as possible so we can stop being linked to every striker who has ever had a Transfrmarket page.

Continuing to talk about referee corruption in the Premier League is exhausting. Fans need to band together and stand up for each club that faces these egregious decisions. Clubs should release a message and even go on strike if need be. Only way the PGMOL will listen. End corruption NOW.

Liverpool fans would not last one day if they had the calls go against them as frequently as Arsenal do. The reaction to Wednesday is very embarrassing for them.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

The nightmare stories deported undocumented people are telling from their journey back to their original country are disgusting. The United States treats undocumented people as subhuman/animals. Every American should feel ashamed, especially those that voted for Orange Hitler.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

This weekend is Arsenal’s biggest match of the season. It’ll tell us all we need to know about this squad and this season. Win it, and I think the tide starts to turn. Lose and we might be cooked. #Arsenal #COYG

Mark Zuckerberg is ending factchecking, moving Meta’s moderators to Texas, appointed top Republican Joel Kaplan to head of global affairs, & invited pro-Trump UFC CEO Dana White onto his board. Bending the knee? He has full-on, enthusiastically, rolled over for Trump & wants his belly tickled next.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.

Declan Rice is fucking incredible, but we need to solidify him as our #6. The club fucked up the L8 signing 2 years in a row, and now playing Rice there as a stop gap. We need a proper CF and we need a ball progressing L8. Those are our priorities if we want to win everything. #Arsenal #COYG
