"If people stop believing that he can actually deliver on those promises, or if they stop believing in Musk himself, those valuations could disappear overnight…Musk is a modern-day Tinkerbell: if enough people stop believing in him, he simply ceases to exist in his current form."

In a pair of social media posts over the weekend, Trump threatened to veto the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) if SAVE were not included in the legislation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Saw tallow fries on a menu for the first time, was doubly repulsed.

This seems genuinely fascistic. Hot take, I guess, but I don't think that people should be arrested and charged with terrorism for holding cardboard signs that say "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."

Yep, same guy. Mere days apart.

Thousand plus year old UNESCO heritage destroyed. Heinous

Just thinking about how Iran keeps slow walking these near deals and how that saves them from being attacked while our stockpiles dwindle and the economic consequences mount and continued intelligence that they know full and well they can keep this stalemate going for months and America is screwed

WHOA. At least three passenger jets appear to have had rejected landings/go-rounds in ~30 minutes while that UFC light show was going a mile away. @aaronparnas.bsky.social previously reported a commercial pilot filed an FAA safety report about being “nearly blinded” by a test run of the lights.

For Vogue, I talked to Ramell-Correen Frederick, aka Cheeks, who embroidered Knicks gear in the streets of Brooklyn after Game 5. He uses a 104-year-old hand-crank, chainstitch embroidery machine that he named Jessica.

hey if the president wants to go stand beneath a big metal cage as a storm front barrels down on washington i say let him cook in every fucking sense of the phrase

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

A, this is completely nutso. B, YOU'RE THE NEW YORK TIMES, GO FIND HIM

I can’t stop thinking about this bike line I rode on along the waterfront in Seattle. I almost cried.

Mohammed hasn’t had a donation in 12 days, if you can help.

This book is so, so good. The detail and specificity is overwhelming and gorgeous, and it builds to the best possible kind of ending, which is one that I wasn’t sitting there anticipating but as soon as it happened, I knew it was the only possible ending. It’s just a great, great book.

i hit the streets last night and spoke to a few of THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF NEW YORK

fake feds are investigating ballots that don’t exist from a made-up city. other than that, totally checks out.

If only there were a shorter way to say "forced sex," like maybe a single word

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

What the Ellison family would own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

I'm a big believer in freedom, which is why it sounds perfectly reasonable that the government should have on-demand access to genetic samples from any person suspected of pissing or shitting where we say they can't piss or shit. You know. Small government stuff 🫠🫡😵‍💫🙃 www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

He had to wait to become a team exec to do it, but Patrick Ewing is finally an NBA champion.

HAPPY PRIDE KNICKS IN FIVE

Before I moved to NYC the first time, I didn’t really feel at home where I grew up. Not like I did in NYC. Found a lot of people like this, too, which was part of it. And of what I loved, still love, about life in NYC? Finding out where everyone is from and why. If they want to tell that story.

y'all have traumatized this child

What remains one of the best life hacks I’ve ever learned: at any chain that has a phone number-based rewards system needed for discounts (CVS, Duane Reade, etc.), simply put in the local area code followed by 867-5309. There is always already an account. You will always get the discount.

man nyc is such a fun place right now. on my way to a mets game (lol) and everyone’s in knicks gear or brazil gear or mets gear or argentina gear. everyone’s on their way to a watch party or a block party. the whole country could be like this if it wasn’t run by miserable pudding brained freaks

New: I wrote about everyone intently watching the long process of removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center and how it revealed our insatiable thirst for accountability — and for his humiliation.

1. Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” A Popular Information investigaiton reveals that it's a GOP front group. Following along for receipts. 🧵

I feel like I’m momming out on the world right now but HYDRATE, FIND THE SHADE, and STAY INSIDE during the heat! Especially if you are below weight (children, among others, looking at you!) or take an SSRI or have other chronic factors!!

A few years ago, the historian Elizabeth Thompson wrote an excellent book on how France and Britain undermined an independent Syria in 1920, which had just approved a relatively liberal constitution. She is interviewed here by Michael Young for Diwan

Most of the people we observed being taken away at BWI Thursday evening were in gray jumpsuits, implying they'd been detained for more than a day. But a few, including at least one man and several woman, were in plainclothes, implying they'd just been captured. www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions
