📌Then 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."
📌It's past time for people who know better to speak up. THAT'S what he was thinking, NYT. Lean in and follow the example.

![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 traffic—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.

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 today—this time, solo—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 vulnerable—and we have a bill to stop it.
TIME TO TAX THE RICH more much more!

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.
Sent tomorrow's TAW copy off with the title 'The Boo Madlys' and you're wrong to groan at the title.
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.
An update on Savy King ❤️

Hello?
Judge says the Trump administration can't deport migrants to Libya unless they have a chance to challenge removal in court.
This person doesn’t belong anywhere near the Justice Department. It’s her damn job to uphold the Constitution and due process, not just pursue illegal retribution. Appalling.
Universities should go back to book sources and hand written essays. In class prompts and oral examinations.
The Vulcans did oral examinations for a reason. Live long & prosper!
