Holy cow my investigation into Riley Gaines for @pablo.show was nominated for an Emmy in Outstanding Sports Journalism!!! Cannot stop dancing around my apartment. Here's the show if you missed it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUl...

Your larger (correct) point aside, it’s not necessary from a grammatical
POV to say “appeared to”: “tells a different story” is telling a different story. You’re not committing as an editor to the veracity of the story, just correctly indicating a different story is being told!

Anyway, I'd've just gone with "shitcanning."

The dictionary woke up this morning and chose violence.

I’m so sorry, Matt. My husband just got a job two years after his layoff. It was rough. The only thing that kept us from losing our home was a small inheritance from his parents, who both died in 2023 (bad few years). It’s depressing that that’s what kept us afloat. Sending all good vibes your way 🙏

Have followed Matt for years, he’s good folks and has been a big part of my TV/movie-watching experience over time.

Still haven’t seen the episode (DVR’d it for this weekend), but now…maybe Love Is Blind instead? 😬

If a publication that otherwise does reporting is gonna publish something like this, it needs a disclaimer up top making clear that it's fiction, full stop.

Also, I don't die on hills, but with my last breath I will insist that Ingrid Bergman in Gaslight is gaslighted, not gaslit.

We have words for reasons.

George Saunders is rubbing his hands together gleefully: “The gig is mine!”

you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.

At any rate, they got some interesting pics

How a family secret led Greg Bovino to lead Trump's border crackdown Before he became the face of Trump's tough ICE policies, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino endured a childhood marked by a family scandal that changed the trajectory of his life.

Ah, this is why I couldn’t remember it, it was the Daily Mail, but still 🙄 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Some outlet interviewed his sister (can’t remember which one at the moment)

In the video from the person in the pink coat that @alexip718.com obtained, it appears to me that a registered nurse who worked with veterans was executed by ICE simply because he helped another protestor they physically assaulted.

this is just to say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which

Forgive me
I'm so unpredictable
so heterodox
