You. Know. Why.

Every. Single. Time

One of the best thought-out explanations, backed by facts, of why the 24' Philadelphia Eagles are a top-5 team of the Super Bowl era from @heykayadams @UpAndAdamsShow

Trump wanted to put Biden in prison for using an autopen to sign documents.

JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Detail From The Kennedy Center Fight. Rep. Joyce Beatty says she was the only board member who tried to stop Trump's name from being placed on the Kennedy Center. According to Beatty, the proposal wasn't even on the agenda. She says she joined remotely, attempted to object, and was muted before she could make her case. Beatty challenged the move in court, arguing the Kennedy Center's governing law did not allow the institution to be renamed after Trump. This week, a federal judge agreed and ordered Trump's name removed. Tonight, workers are physically taking it down. That's the story. Not just that Trump's name is coming off the building. That the board member who says she was silenced ended up winning in court.

The 10 hours of erecting scaffolding wasn’t to strip the letters (something that 30 minutes in a boom lift could accomplish), it was to conceal the view with a curtain because Trump couldn’t handle the optics of the letters of his name being plucked off the building.

UFC press conference postponed due to the rain. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. May this be the wettest weekend on record for DC!

FOOTAGE OF THE LETTERS BEING REMOVED The irony of the Trump administration claiming to be the most transparent in history is never lost on me. Kennedy Center Workers used a tarp so cameras couldn’t see the removal. It’s like playing hide-and-seek with a toddler: if they can’t see you, they think you can’t see them. A huge thank you to @RepBeatty. This would not have been possible without her persistence and hard work.

This creator absolutely nails Conservatism sly use of complaints about "the economy" as a proxy for white grievance & racism It finally explains to me why Cons HATED & resented Biden even though his economy by all measures was better 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 tiktok.com/t/ZTBQH2WuQ/

META IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS INSIDE RIGHT NOW Wired just dropped an exclusive, and the details are wild. This week someone interrupted a livestreamed Meta meeting, open to thousands of employees, with an expletive-filled rant about "being the company's bitch." They told the presenters to find a specific Meta AI executive and "tell him that he's a piece of shit." A presenter covered their face with their hands. Employees in the chat called the start "spicy." Here is what's behind it. Meta's AI restructuring cut 8,000 jobs last month, 10% of the company. The same restructuring feeds a unit called Applied AI, where 6,500 engineers and product managers have been drafted in waves since April. There is no application process. You get selected, and your options are join or leave the company. Members call themselves "draftees." The new job: writing puzzles and coding problems to train Meta's AI models, two tasks a week. People hired to build apps for billions of users now assemble training data for hundreds of AI scientists. "It's literally the gulag," one employee told WIRED. "You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week." Another: "Most people find the work soul-crushing." At the same time, Meta started recording US employees' clicks and keystrokes to generate more AI training data. Over 1,600 employees signed a petition demanding it stop. The concession: employees can pause the tracking for up to 30 minutes. Zuckerberg's response came in an internal memo Friday: "We've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more." He repeated his promise of no more mass layoffs this year. His fixes: limits on the manager ratios Meta had deliberately pushed to 50-to-1 on some teams, bigger budgets for team events, a hackathon next month, and assigned desks by the end of the year. That same memo says Meta's north star is "to be the best place for the most talented people in the world to make an impact." The most talented people in the world are writing puzzles for a model and asking permission to pause the keystroke logger. META declined to comment.

FINALLY

Yall see what I see right You see it

I knew the scaffolding made no sense. They could have used two cherry pickers and called it a day. We waited all day and night because the scaffolding wasn’t there to do the work. It was there to hide the letters from view while they were being removed. Trump is embarrassed.

You'll notice ALOT of black players on the US Men's Soccer team in the World Cup Imma need my black people to step up and support our Brothers.

SO HAPPY FOR GIO. SOOOOO FN HAPPY #USMNT #worldcup

The crowd at the White House UFC fight will be one of the most diverse ever. There will be convicted felons, rapists, pedophiles, sex traffickers, domestic abusers and insurrectionists.
