Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges related to past use of paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges related to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

Dark stuff. Looks legally wobbly to my untrained eye, though? Hopefully Blanche fails as miserably as Bondi did with all of her high profile cases.

It's a rounding effect, presumably. Published polls that round to the nearest whole number will include a disclaimer that the numbers may bit add up to 100.

That part makes no sense. How is it a "despite?"
"Defendants published the Article with actual malice... despite The Atlantic’s well-
documented, long-running editorial animus toward Director Patel."

Screencap of push alerts on iPhone fron AP Heading: Be Well Text: You can add beef tallow and salmon sperm to your skincare routine. But should you?

These AP push alerts are getting out of hand.

Politically engaged, left-of-center voters failing to support the Dem nominee in a general election is a minuscule issue.

Non-voters and low info voters who can't anticipate the policy outcomes of their votes are a massive issue. He needs to learn how to speak to them- and hopefully not like this!

I'm happy for anyone who finds it useful, but I also want it nowhere near me. And some uses of "neurodivergent" are alarmingly general. (eg, a redditor asking what a venue is like bc they're autistic and like specific expectations, getting the reply "I'm also neurodiv., and didn't like it there...")

After he got fired, he started going to the same church as my dad and stepmother in Tulsa. My dad hated it so much, they found another congregation.

Why does this make me want to pay a visit?

The Hacks tie-in commercial with Paul Downs is substantively reducing my quality-of-life.

Very happy to see Reese Witherspoon addressing the problem of women not using genAI enough, of course, but I do wish she would update on her efforts to achieve gender parity in the NFT market. Haven't heard anything in a few years on that front...

Doorman and building staff may go on strike against building owners in NYC for the first time in 30 years+ next week, and I can say that among apartment building residents, there is a 50/50 divide between "Give them anything they want" and "Give them anything they want, you assholes."

I've never had as many questions about a Jeopardy bio as I do for the "former car wash tech manager originally from New York, New York."

I'm not a Gallego fan, but he seems legitimately upset by his former friend's behavior, and publicly denounced him quickly. Many abusers and predators are experts at showing different faces. He seems like the wrong person to attack.

I had an incredible experience seeing it in a near-empty Tulsa theater during the initial release.

Chicken breast, especially boneless/skinless.

This is the single best endorsement of the Twin Cities i can think of. "Full of the nicest people on earth who tell nazis to kill themselves right to their fascist faces"

Nothing ever actually works this way. No public figure is speaking truths in code.

I had to look it up, amd they're not even cheap! It's an Omaha Steaks-type scam. Chicago grocery store prices are easily a better deal.

I'm not sure why I watched all of DTF St Louis. Mixed feelings from minute 1 to the end.

I love Falling Free's premise- what if the most heroic person in the universe was a safety and compliance guy?

I had to check- the MAGA brother is the one in Florida (of course), not the one in the South Suburbs.

I think I can solve the Fireball mystery: it's often significantly cheaper to get the 10 pack of shooters rather than a bottle.
At my local grocery store:
500 mL in little bottles: $9.99
750mL in one bottle: $18.99

woman in yellow meeting a mascot of a yellow crayon

i love the story about LaKenzo, who got famous for collecting discontinued crayola dandelion crayons and made the crayon so popular that crayola brought it back and made her the face of it

they flew her to the factory she got to make crayons and box them up and they treated her like royalty

There was, famously, also an election in 2024. He was up for re-election for his House seat. And there are multiple accusations from different times.

There are several alternatives.
