I saw one of his pieces at the Palm Springs Art Museum and it was fabulous

Apparently this is part of a whole America 250 series but the messaging is so muddled and confusing?? The likelihood of baseball being integrated would definitely have been higher than 0% in 1946. If you bet NO on Kalshi in 1946 you would have lost lol kalshi.com/america250

Acquired an absolute grail recently at an antique store: a very old (possibly pre-1920s!!) card catalog. It’s so solid and heavy and I love how weathered it is. Made by Library Bureau Sole Makers, (founded by Melvil Dewey of the Dewey Decimal system), that made furniture/supplies for libraries.

A painted green worn cabinet with 9 square drawers and heavy brass handles

Card drawers with labels like “finished” and “records”

Shortly before I received a statement from DoorDash, T-Pain posted a video featuring the company -- this time with a #DoorDashPartner disclosure.

T-Pain tweet reading "I do not play soccer. And I did not order all this shit!!! @DoorDash come get this man's stuff #DoorDashPartner"

Mia Sato@miasato· Jun 23

This weekend DoorDash tweeted about the World Cup but repeatedly tagged T-Pain, as if they were mixing him up with NZ soccer player Tim Payne. T-Pain got in on it too, acting confused. Turns out it was all a "partnership." No ad disclosure on any of the posts. www.theverge.com/news/954145/...

T-Pain on X: "Are you all okay??? @DoorDash stop tagging me in these soccer posts."
T-Pain: "I liiterally don't play soccer" quoting DoorDash saying "@TPain you gave everything out there tonight. we saw it."
T-Pain: The intern is gonna shit a brick when they realize. Quoting DoorDash saying "This is when the true goats show up @tpain the game is in your hands!"

yep! posted by a man on the street style show that seems to have kalshi as a sponsor(?), holding a kalshi mic, clipped and circulated and made viral by a kalshi affiliate (and the little rhyme is maybe plagiarized???) Everything is weird

Ag secretary on X: The MAHA movement doesn't stop with what we EAT — It's also about what we WEAR.

For decades, America offshored textile jobs and allowed foreign synthetic, plastic-based materials to take over the clothing market.

Together with @SecKennedy, the Great American Cotton Plan puts American-grown cotton FIRST again: supporting our farmers, strengthening U.S. manufacturing, and giving families a natural choice.

You want to book me for a speaking engagement in Chicago this summer. You want to invite me to Chicago while the White Sox are playing at home, so after our event I can go see them play. You want to book me for an event in Chicago so bad.

Woah: Feds arrested a Google employee today, who they say made $1M+ betting on Google-related Polymarket events. Here are a few of the markets the account allegedly belonging to the employee wagered on. abcnews.com/US/google-em...

Like this is really starting to feel like a new right wing pipeline

Tweet reading “everyone finally catching up to wearing activewear like this. cuter and healthier. throw the lulu and alo AWAY”
And it’s photos of various celebrities from the 90s/00s wearing activewear

There's a legitimately interesting question here about how hard it should be to get a press pass. On one hand it's good for indie media that the bar isn't "Write for the NYT." But what happens if advocates get passes? Can the mayor's office block it? Here's Lena in Dec when I interviewed her.

I just checked the union’s IG and it sounds like pen and paper ordering is an option, but phones are allowed:

This guarantees I will never see a movie at Alamo ever again lol open.substack.com/pub/embedded...

Gone are the pencils, papers, and even the physical menus. Now, everything is done on your phone—not just before the movie starts, but during it, too. You can even do it while the PSA that says you’ll get kicked out if you’re caught using your phone is playing, because they’ve updated it to have a little caveat: unless you’re using your phone to order.
Obviously this is insane. The dam has broken. Allowing people to have their phones out at all means the phones can come out any time. The only way to know if someone is using their phone for “the right reasons” is to monitor them. But I didn’t come to Alamo Drafthouse to watch someone else’s phone. I came to watch a movie. But I don’t even know what happened in Hokum, because a family with all their phones out (including the phone flashlight, at one point) had me agitated the entire time. Yes, we asked them to stop, and yes, we hit the “help” button on our phones (for fuck’s sake) to alert a manager when they didn’t. We got an error: no managers available.

Something odd happened after we published this story: Nobody will confess to paying for and running a social media clipping operation promoting the AI company Perplexity. I found dozens of clips tagged as "sponsored" and "Powered by Perplexity" — yet Perplexity claims it has no knowledge of them.
