scoop: Peloton ($PTON) hopes to regain its footing by replacing its CEO, ending plans for a new factory and making several other changes. All the details:
When Anna said she was raped by two on-duty cops, she thought it would be a simple case. She had no idea she lived in one of 35 states where officers can claim a detainee consented.

Oh yeah. And also make sure your moisturizer and shampoo and whatnot are only 3 oz or that will get confiscated. But don’t worry about the deadly virus that has killed a million people in the US
It’s funny because she rips up her own essay because she has lost faith in democracy due to corrupt politicans. It is a good episode. You should watch it.
Every dog at the KC Pet Project animal shelter is free to adopt, thanks to the Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle. He paid off the adoption fees of more than 100 dogs.
“It’s affecting our culture if regular people can’t even see a live show for a major act in person anymore, and this just becomes a domain for the wealthy.”-
@AOC
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explains why she thinks Ticketmaster and Live Nation's merger should be unwound and pushes for caps on ticket fees and resale prices.
It's hard to keep up with all the garbage men so maybe we should have a Hunger-Games type cannon go off and we can all look to the sky and see who the latest one is.
If you are a man who is afraid of mentoring women because you do not trust that you know how to act properly, I am pretty sure you should not mentor anyone.
“New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials.”

I once was in line for the bathroom in front of Meryl Streep at Bar Centrale. I encouraged her to go ahead of me and she laughed and politely refused. I said, but your Meryl Streep! And she laughed and refused again.
Multiple women are exploring potential legal cases against Trump, following the lead of Stormy Daniels, who has filed a lawsuit in order to speak out about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006, her attorney said.
It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..
“Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise, though, they should consider other medical claims Immanuel has made—including ones about alien DNA and the physical effects of having sex with witches and demons in your dreams.”
We need a WPA-like program to get people back to work. One small idea I have is enlisting out of work journalists to help with contact tracing. The skills one needs to do contact tracing are very much in sync with reporting tough stories.

I’ve never been good at that because no matter what attempt at professional speak comes out of my mouth, my face always says, “y’all sound crazy”.
White House on family separation:
This is not happening.
It is happening because the Democrats are making it happen.
It is happening but it is not so bad.
It is happening, but it is the law.
I am going to sign a thing to stop this thing from happening.

Mad. I would go into the convenience store next to the laundromat we went to when I was a kid and read it in there and occasionally be able to buy it.
This is such a depressing sentence: “Ms. Carroll said she had no expectation that telling her story would have an impact. At 75 years old, she has come not to expect such stories to come to anything.”
“The organization is also getting rid of the evening gown portion of the competition and instead asking contestants to wear attire that makes them feel confident, expresses their personal style and shows how they hope to advance the role of Miss America.”
I’m probably never winning a Pulitzer or having an NYT column. BUT: The moment where I use my platform to obsess about how I AM TREATED during this time in history I would hope all my friends would do an intervention.
"This is not the article you might be expecting about Les Moonves. It’s not going to be wise or inspiring. It’s going to be petty and punishing." This is great.
NYC hasn't been closed since 2020. New York had a full lockdown from March 2020 to April 2020 and then a phased reopening thru the summer. Nothing is closed. Wearing a mask or checking vax status isn't closing the city. Everytime this is said unchecked I lose my mind.
“Visibly nervous, they shifted in their chairs, rubbed their palms and pressed their fists against their foreheads. At times they stopped in midsentence and broke into tears.”
Allowing private parties to sue fellow citizens w/ whom they have no relationship when they’ve suffered no personal harm is quite the move in a state run by conservatives.
Feb 28, 2017: “President Donald Trump quietly signed a bill into law Tuesday rolling back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun.”
So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!
Today was my last day at
@BuzzFeed
and I did a really good job keeping it together all week until they banged me out when I left the newsroom. 😭😭😭😭
I love these brilliant maniacs, grateful for these past six years and proud of everyone.
No whistling in the newsroom ❤️
