‘We Just Got Elon Musk-ed’
Bari Weiss’s first major move as CBS News chief has staffers on edge—ordering every journalist to submit a written memo justifying their work, in an apparent Elon Musk-style loyalty test.
Hello and happy Saturday,
Bari Weiss is taking a page out of Elon Musk’s playbook. Days after taking over as editor in chief of CBS News, Weiss sent the network’s journalists an email Friday …
If this is the best the left can muster, then this country is right fukt. If #TFG & Co. can pass notes and learn all their lines, the #Democrats should be able to fire back just as easily. And yet, there’s no energy. Shit. #uspol #hakeemjeffries #mikelawler #fascism youtu.be/PuNTonzel…

I’ve played very little #Balatro, but I know many peeps love the game. That kind soul known only as #TechDweeb has created a card-based solitaire inspired by Balatro called Solatro and it looks really neat and is free (playing cards not included). #videogames #cardgames www.youtube.com/watch

Pie ‘n Burger at Lake & California near where the Tandy RadioShack store used to be (now a Starbucks). The Fair Oaks Pharmacy when there was still the Thrifty’s across the street. These are some of the flavors of my childhood. #food #culture #PhilRosenthal web.archive.org/web/20250…

#SatoshiKon is one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. His medium just happened to be #animation. #PerfectBlue. #TokyoGodfathers. #Paprika. #ParanoiaAgent. And, of course, the topic for this video, #MillenniumActress. Pancreatic cancer took him at age 46. youtu.be/1R1rOH4ws…
Artist #MichaelGolden is one of those quiet influences from the Bronze Age of #comics who has had an outsized impact on others over the decades and even considered one of the godfathers of #Image comics. #ComicTropes digs in to his work and impact. youtu.be/2SH5GdCum…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: RPWL - Beyond Man and Time (2012) #progrock #artrock Founded as a German Pink Floyd cover band, the group transitioned to original works. Initial impression is a blend of Floyd and Porcupine Tree. I like it! #music #RPWL www.youtube.com/watch
Oh, this is right up my #animation alley. Very funny … and weird … and nigh incomprehensible … and awesome AF. #action #short www.youtube.com/watch
I see a lot going on here and I’m liking it a lot. As one might expect, a lot of references made to those things of the #90s they’re paying homage to with #BulletTime #animation #shorts #SDCC www.youtube.com/watch

#Republicans who go on #CNN repeat the same talking points every time. WTF can’t the hosts and #Democrats prepare in order to respond? Do NOT give them credit for ANYTHING!! Stop them from lying. Refute their bullshit. BE PREPARED!! #journalism #uspol #NeoLibsArePartOfTheProblem
#Miami #Florida #Republicans “postponed” the upcoming 2025 elections until November 2026, ensuring that time-limited officials who are no longer eligible to run again will remain in power for another year. Voters did not have a choice. #fascism #lawless #autocracy www.miamiherald.com/news/loca…
