Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

Abdul Carter is asked if Jaxson Dart apologized in their conversation:

"I don't want him to say he's sorry. Stand on what you believe in, but it can't be a problem if I stand on what I believe in. As long as we have that understanding, it's all good."

“The harassment that I get is disgusting, but I know that I signed up to be in the public eye,” said basketball player Audi Crooks.

“Kam is an innocent little girl standing next to her idol who was caught in the line of fire. I have never been more disgusted in my life.”

One of the saddest scenes in the modern world is an immigrant apologizing for their accent to someone who speaks only one language.

On Thursday morning, Kelsey Pfendler climbed into her rowboat in Monterey and began whipping westward. If all goes well, she won’t touch land again for months, until she reaches Honolulu, a feat that would make her the first American woman to row alone from California to Hawaii.

The twitter debate about food affordabilty seriously has me uncomfortable.

Can't believe we're at a point where we're trying to convince people that a burger and fries from a fast food joint is a luxury and indulging in it sometimes is living above your means if you make under six figures.

If you think its okay for someone who works 40 hours a week (or more) doing the jobs most people don't want, but commericial society can't function without...and then have the audacity to tell them they're irresponsible for getting a cup of coffee, or a take-out meal? We're not talking some five star restaurant and steak with all the trimmings. We're talking about a drive thru window.

It's just the rich dehumanizing the poor and moving the goal posts... again, to make it not 'a cost' problem. A 'commerical' problem or 'greed' problem. But the problem of the average worker instead.

Money tight? Yeah, maybe don't get Starbucks every single day, maybe don't eat out every day.

But this invalidation and online shaming of people for things that USED to be considered accessible?

"Them darn kids and their avocado toast!" ...God damn, please.

We are announcing today that The American Revolution will stream for free in its entirety on all PBS platforms from May 25th through July 12. Hope you have a chance to watch, ideally with friends and family, as you think about our 250th anniversary this July 4th. https://t.co/c8fc6Sldj5

imo, meta and ray ban's biggest challenge here is overcoming the stigma that wearing these glasses in public makes you a nerd or, at worst, a sexual pervert. putting them on the wife of a president associated with sexual crimes does not help this.

Rapper Toosil Responds to gay allegations making it clear that calling someone gay is not an insult 🌈:

"Calling somebody gay is not an insult. people try to use it as an insult, but it's people's sexuality. And whatever somebody's sexuality is, it's not an insult. So don't try to throw it on a black man to down him because you feel like that's gonna,that's not gonna bring me down. What bring me down is the fact that you trying to use it as an insult while I got my son in my hand and knowing that one of these days he gonna have to get on the internet and see this.
I don't need nothing misleading. Like, oh dad, is this wrong? Like, is it? Nah, it's not wrong, son. At the end of the day, like you got some people who like women and you got some people who like men, son, and that's how it is.
