NEW: Drop Site journalist Ryan Grim has authenticated behind-the-scenes messages showing Politico omitted an important detail from its reporting on how the night began that led to the rape allegations against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Before publication, a Politico reporter told the Platner campaign that Jenny Racicot, on the night in question, had been “texting [Platner] about needing her glute massaged.” The reporter added, “That detail didn’t make our story.”

a thirty ish man with a mustache wearing what looks like a black satin bathrobe with real fur lining it. He has some sort of fluffy white shirt and a huge sheathed dagger on his waist which he grips with one hand. He looks like he's ready to murder everyone at the Playboy mansion.
I don't know how to describe this drawing but there's a dude in maybe a labcoat with a cravat who looks half rotten and slightly burnt with a crazy toothless smile holding up a letter that says pontifex maximus. A big demon looking biomechanical priest thing stands behind him. They are surrounded by trash and ruins.
Hemp ropes were used while workers stood on interlocking maps as part of the performance. A former co-worker stated that while performing the same role, they had lost consciousness five or six times. No security cameras were in use where the performance took place, and the area was dark
Here, every punch is carefully pulled. When Jinx learns how his daughter is making her money, he is only briefly shocked, only briefly judgmental – and soon afterwards, sorry and supportive. His and Shyanne’s trajectory is never really in doubt, and the pastor is set up from the start as little more than a vehicle to show the hypocrisies of religion (he’s not as good a guy as the recovering drug addict!).
The YouGov poll looked at public opinion on the subjective concept of coolness—with findings that might challenge conventional thinking. When it comes to a wide range of commodities and activities, marijuana stood out as a comparatively lame, falling near the bottom of the cool list despite being commonly associated with popular cultural figures, political movements and lifestyles
“I would never say ‘emotions aren’t just reactions to the truth’ — they are not reactions and ‘truth’ in science is a complicated concept that I tend to avoid,” Ms. Barrett said. “Also, I would never say that ‘emotional and social signals’ are integrated — there are no emotional or social signals, per se.

It’s not bound by Asimov’s laws or any ethical framework — it’s bound by the patterns in its training data and the objectives set by its creators.”

A post by Matt Novak QTing Jake Tapper sharing a pocket square accessory for the dinner that reads "Congress shall make no.law abridging freedom of speech or of the press". Novaks QT reads "fittingly a white flag that no one can read unless you pull it out and save it in defeat"
A post the alleged shooter shared commenting a nyt article titled , the right don't play by the rules so why should I? The poster expressed "I've spent a lot of time in countries where graft and grifting are the norm...you do not want to live in that kind of society."
We are not more disenfranchised than fucking Russia. And if we can call for Russians to oppose Putin we can and must oppose trump no less. So there are no excuses. Not for the politicians. Not for the military. Not for the voters. Not for ten non voters

Thomas called on Americans to stand up for their principles and endure personal "sacrifices," if necessary, to preserve the nation's democracy. “In my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration have so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs,” he said.
All of that concentrated training is meant to replace the gradual on-the-job learning new hires received in a year and a half pre-AI.
