I keep hearing "they cant be cheating they are such a good guy." There is an article about how one of the most prolific MTG cheaters was a "great guy" and how it was instrumental that he was liked so he could cheat.

I’m here to sound the alarm again today as I’ve been doing since 2016.
We are in a dire situation when a performer is pulled from a tour for simply calling out genocide in Gaza.

The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.

That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.

Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.

Today’s media environment in a nutshell:

The original poster — if it’s even a real person — didn’t know I haven’t worked at ESPN since 2018. I clearly responded with sarcasm.

This tweet gets millions of views, and the comments are completely overrun with bots.

And now there are several AI-generated/aggregated websites “reporting” that I resigned from ESPN on Twitter yesterday.

This is why telling people to Google information doesn’t work.

San Antonio libraries have launched a "Read Like Wemby" campaign featuring Victor Wembanyama’s favorite fantasy and sci-fi books.

Since launching, nearly 160 books have been checked out or put on hold, and local kids are taking photos with life-sized Wemby cutouts.

Breaking news!

European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) to suspend the 🇪🇺EU 🇮🇱Israel Association Agreement has passed the threshold for 11 countries and at 1,034,599 signatures now.

🇫🇷France 🇧🇪Belgium 🇪🇸Spain 🇮🇹Italy 🇮🇪Ireland 🇫🇮Finland 🇸🇪Sweden 🇩🇰Denmark 🇳🇱Netherlands 🇵🇱Poland 🇵🇹Portugal have passed the threshold. Incredible! 🫶🏾

We needed minimum 7 countries to pass the threshold.

We have 11 countries that passed the threshold.

For a European citizens' initiative to be valid, it must obtain at least one million valid signatures and meet the minimum thresholds in at least seven countries.

This was not just on track to reach the 1 Million threshold; this may well become the most supported EU Citizen Initiative EVER.

Please keep signing! Let's show the power of the people! 🇪🇺🕊️🙏🏾
