John Oliver looking incredulously at a side-by-side photo of Alex Jones purporting to have lost weight and gotten more fit
One of my favorite John Oliver bits ever was when he went after Alex Jones & InfoWars. When this image purported to show Jones had gotten more fit because of a supplement that contained "trace amounts of a comet," Oliver responded, "All this proves is that you walked shirtless to a belt store!"
Headline reading X makes it 1,900 percent more expensive to post links
Posting links to X through custom social media software just got a lot more expensive. On Monday, X significantly increased how much it costs to post a URL via the X API, which is what third-party tools use to hook into the platform. It now costs $0.20 when a link is posted, up from $0.01. Any change to make posting links more expensive will likely make X even less attractive to publishers than it already is, especially given the widely held suspicion that linking news articles can lower a post’s reach. The issue came up in a recent spat between Nate Silver and X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, who claimed that links are “not deboosted.” But a recent study from Nieman Lab analyzing posts from 18 large media outlets found that links “do seem to hurt news publishers” on X.

I smiled just now when a very old friend, who lives in Virginia, texted me and said, "My wife and I voted YES on the redistricting plan." LFG ✊🏻🔥
Gen. George Washington literally had the Revolutionary Army inoculated against smallpox at Valley Forge.
Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Moneyball meme. Jonah tells Billy "BILLY, THIS IS THE BAL-KC GAME. 4,589 MEN HAVE BEEN LOB"
Also hilarious Gunnar Henderson got picked off TWICE
An absurd catch by Julio Rodriguez on a sidewinder
How did THAT happen!? Welp better call a roof guy...
"Huh, what's the 420 dry rub? You know what I'll just have a double order of that."
Maybe he ate a bunch of weed brownies for lunch in honor of the date
Gunnar looked asleep at the switch!
A house at dusk with lights on inside and a crescent moon over the house
Perfect spring weather and a lovely crescent moon setting over the house
That's absolutely disgusting.

I hiked out to a sinkhole that hosts hundreds of alligators and stumbled across a rather surreal surprise: a grand gathering of #Birds.
So I guess this expands Wrigely’s fowl territory
It should be illegal to come back to work to something like this
