Altered videos attacking Fetterman

I think Republicans do this much more than Democrats do.

Scoop: Doctored videos of Dr. Oz Senate seat challenger @JohnFetterman that exaggerate his speech issues post-stroke went viral this week on Twitter and TikTok, bringing in hundreds of thousands of views. https://t.co/uxC6768Qv4

Twitter thread on Cats Stealing Food in Still Life Paintings

One of my favorite sub-genres of art is Cats Stealing Food in Still Life Paintings. It’s so wonderfully disrespectful. So here is a thread celebrating the need for snacks triumphing over art. First, Still Life with Cat. Alexandre-Francois Desportes, 1705. https://t.co/pvPWJOYuZj pic.twitter.com/dGtRqaB62V

Tweets on the death of Jean-Luc Godard

I am no expert on his films but certainly recommend Breathless, his debut.

The real tribute is to watch Godard's films (and videos); here's a word on magnificent obsessions for streaming (and, in some crucial cases, alas, not): https://t.co/HeMHZsrU2B

I think that if you love movies and are interested in how they developed over the last century, you have to keep checking in with Jean-Luc Godard's films periodically throughout your viewing life. There's no way to grasp fully how movies got from there to here without him. >

Baltimore government’s poor decision to build a hotel

The city built a hotel near the convention center. Private industry wouldn’t do it. I trust their judgement, not the city’s. The city should not be in the hotel business and it has been a big money loser. The pandemic made the situation worse.

The City of Baltimore transferred an additional $3.1 million last month to the city-owned Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor hotel, bringing the total amount of payments to about $16 million since the pandemic decimated the hotel and tourism industry.https://t.co/GSVQn3BYiP

I highly recommend the article

This exhaustive effort to forecast the next decade of US politics from ⁦@ForwardMajority⁩ is chock full of insights. It shows Ds facing a narrow, but defined, pathway to dislodge GOP hold on state power & another grueling decade of prez competition https://t.co/5ASafuxPGv

Great fake photo revising the FBI picture of material taken from Trump

The bottom line is that there was probable cause for the #FBI’s search warrant at #MarALago due to 3 laws broken by his stealing 300 classified govt. documents and squirreling them away in his Florida mansion, all violating the #espionageact of 1917.https://t.co/VxMvJtw5Wp

Lindsay Graham’s abortion bill.

He’s out of touch with what the public wants. Republicans claimed they wanted abortion laws to be made by the states. Now Graham does this. They just want to impose their extremist views.

I assume red states with stricter bans would keep them so it would only affect states with no bans or more lenient bans. This is just another case of the right wing trying to impose their unpopular views on everyone.

Wall Street is investing in music

They’re buying up the catalogs of geezer musicians from my day. I don’t like the idea of big companies owning music but it’s hard to blame the artists for cashing in.

But in an era of soaring inflation and rising interest rates, the nascent asset class faces its first real test.
