We say that we “decide” to get married, to have children, to live in particular cities or embark on particular careers, and in a sense this is true. But how do we actually make those choices? https://t.co/agflR97dQh

I am one of many who have been extraordinarily misled by the media on @realDonaldTrump. The reporter below outlines a number of important such examples of media manipulation in a four-minute segment that I strongly encourage you to watch.

These examples are often the ones that are brought to my attention by friends and family who say: ‘How can you support Trump when he said ….’

When I explain that his excerpted words were presented out of context and give an example like the ‘very fine people’ quote and show them the source video, they are stunned when they realize for the first time that they have been manipulated by the media about Trump for nearly a decade.

In a world with increasing demands on our time and an infinite amount of media and social media, very few people go to the source to check facts. As a result, the opportunity for media manipulation has become much greater.

Ironically, I was accused by the same friends and family of manipulation when I shared videos of @POTUS Biden which demonstrated his cognitive decline. I was scolded for sharing ‘right wing propaganda.’

Ask yourself why @KamalaHarris has given only one taped interview with Walz by her side and is relying on the media to present her candidacy, while Trump is doing long-form podcasts, live interviews with hostile media and interviewers, and speaking without a teleprompter.

Ask yourself why Trump wants three debates on diverse networks and Kamala has offered to do only one on a friendly network with carefully negotiated rules.

You can only draw one conclusion:

Trump wants you to know who he is and what he stands for, and Kamala wants to keep herself a secret until the election is over.

I strongly encourage you to vote accordingly.

The photographer Adam Ferguson’s images of a small Australian town feature Cattlewomen, and Swifties, and drunk lovers, and a drag artist playing Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. See them here. https://t.co/2Jdm03bHuv

Who are Indians descended from? Aryans from Europe? Dravidians who've been "here" forever? The Indus valley civilization?

A controversial question for 150+ years, but now we have DNA evidence that answers these questions with a high degree of certainty.

A photograph known as “Double Standard,” captured by Dennis Hopper in the early 1960s, resides in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and, as visual distillations of L.A. go, it’s one of the greats. https://t.co/yzUsI9ZxMD

When Peter Schjeldahl found out he had cancer, while driving through upstate New York, he was suddenly overwhelmed by the beauty of the land. “How many times had I seen and loved the sight?” he wondered. “How many more times would I?” https://t.co/gFKEVm6UuR
