1. It's my birthday today and I only want one thing. I want these two women, Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, to be famous. Niloofar and Elahe are Iranian reporters who reported on the death of Mahsa Zhina Amini. They are now in prison and could face the death penalty.

.@BulwarkOnline is always great, but today is a new level. @Timodc unpacks how the moronic sheriff's failure to use CO's red flag laws, despite overwhelming evidence of risk, led directly to the horror at Club Q. It's paywalled, but you should subscribe: thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/po…

You will hear of Fail Whales and rumors of Fail Whales but see to it you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is yet to come. Influencer will rise against influencer and billionaire against billionaire. There will be slow WiFi and server errors in various places.

"McConnell and Murdoch, two people with a reputation for being heartless killer masterminds" had many chances to do something about their "Trump Problem." Instead they got to last Tuesday. ICYMI @Timodc: thebulwark.com/if-mitch-mcco…

UPDATE—Just learned that Eli Lilly executives are raging and furious at losing $20 billion in market cap from this stunt with @TwitterBlue. It’s too bad they don’t see their own damn insulin price gouging as the actual problem. Karma @LillyPad, karma.

How do I know so much about how @elonmusk does things? I spent 3 years investigating Tesla at @BusinessInsider from 2018-2021. Here are some of sloppy, dangerous, callous, things I learned:

As a.Christian, let me say yet again, this is mass delusion and insane. Pastors need to condemn the Christian Nationalism that is the same thing the Taliban does.
At Michael Flynn and Eric Trump’s ‘Reawaken America’ event, they struck the ground with imaginary arrows 7 times to call upon God to bring victory to the Republican Party in the midterms.

Let's say a few words about "brand safety". Musk and top Republican leaders are now complaining that the problem is "woke" activists breaking Twitter and pushing it toward financial collapse. Nope. That's not it. Not remotely. Are there people pushing for boycotts or ...

NC’s failure to expand Medicaid not only kills people, but we’re turning away $521 million a month! October, November, December, January……Enough! This is astonishingly wasteful, irresponsible and cruel. - RC cbs17.com/news/north-carolin…

THREAD. A woman just died and babies and adults were taken to the hospital in Akron, Ohio after a carbon monoxide leak at an apartment building where the corporate landlord hadn't installed CO detectors as required by law. How do you think the local news and police treated it?

Abolishing Blue Laws served the needs of the consuming class--the folks whose work schedules allowed them to attend Sunday worship & then go to a restaurant to be served by those who couldn't attend church b/c they were busy working...
