I've worked at The Ringer for 8 years, since before we launched. Yet last summer, as I did major tasks like write site-leading stories about the NBA Finals, I made less money than our interns.

That's one reason I'm working so hard to fight for a better contract for our members.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

During my 20 years in politics, two destructive trends stand out: the steady radicalization of the Republican Party and the trivialization of politics, particularly the way it is covered by US media and how politicians respond to that dynamic.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

A common thread to these two trends is money - the enormous amount of money poured into corrupting our politics since Citizens United has served to fuel both radicalization and nonsense in order to serve very specific ends. That, too, is hiding in plain sight.

genuinely embarrassing industry full of oligarchs who don’t actually care about making and distributing movies beyond the ways they sort into a microsoft excel spreadsheet

Donald Trump claims he is one inch taller and the same weight as NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson.

[Exhibitor Relations Co. @ERCboxoffice]

RATATOUILLE is easily the best pixar film and im tired of acting like it’s even a competition

Nothing says AMERICA FIRST more than rooting against *checks notes* the literal U.S national team because they *checks notes* peacefully exercised freedom of speech

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Imagine if Joe Biden called Kevin McCarthy a “sick & demented psycho” who was going to Hell. Not just Fox but the entire ‘liberal media’ would lose their minds. He would be condemned even by members of his own Democratic Party.

But it’s Trump, so everyone just sighs & moves on.

[Griffin Newman @GriffLightning]

Agree with all this and would like to add that I no longer know how to behave in private either.

I was told the wokeness would lead to brokeness. Have I somehow been led astray by tiny loud men with podcasts?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I approve this message.

I am deceased.

By exempting military colleges, the court is saying you can’t consider diversity—unless you are deciding who can fight and risk their life for our country.

Why the double standard?

[WNBA @WNBA]

Congrats to @DallasWings @satou_sabally for being named the May WNBA Cares Community Assist Award Winner for her efforts in mentoring youth in the Dallas community. 🙌

In recognition, WNBA will make a $5,000 donation to support the Fund the Unicorns Foundation & @juneteenthmsm.

[Guillermo del Toro @RealGDT]

Gregory Gourdet's dinner dishes were absolutely a revelation. The evening was fun, cordial and entirely emotional. Thank you all!!

[Kevin Clark @bykevinclark]

4,500 tickets available to the public is shameful, and the report here that the club attempted to have *zero* available is disqualifying. LACC shouldn't host in 2039--inexplicably, already awarded--if they don't want real fans coming. Our national open is supposed to be fun.

[Ben Lindbergh @BenLindbergh]

Happy to be doing regular gaming pods again, with the great @lulu_clemons on the @RingerVerse feed. Many monsters in Diablo died to bring you this episode.
