.@msjpauly has a big investigation into the shady science and pitch of air-purifier companies that every parent/teacher/school administrator/building manager/education and environmental reporter/resident of fire-prone states will want to read: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
A lot of what is being touted as cutting edge and "space-age" airpurifier tech has dubious efficacy—and in some instances may be making the air MORE unhealthy. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Among the people helping to hawk these dubious products:
former Trump immigration Rasputin Kris Kobach
former Trump CDC director Robert Redfield
Trump's White House COVID coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx

1/ We ran really good piece by @rowanjacobsen on the lab leak theory a year ago, that also got into how Trump's racism was undermining attempts to accurately assess—and also his administration's failure to heed warnings about such possibilities.

motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ The other reason that people maybe went too far in discounting any *possibility* of a lab leak was that Tom Cotton and others were conflating an accidental leak of coronaviruses being studied out of prevention with a leak of a designed bioweapon. No.
3/ Whether or not there was a leak, whether or not that could ever be/been ascertained even with full transparency, what we HAVE learned is that freighting an investigation with racism and jingoism does not a good investigation make.

If they let her go b/c of conservatives freaking out* about college activism then that's just insane

Also days after their Gaza HQ was bombed

*and by freaking out, I mean pretending to freak out. Newsrooms need to stop falling prey to asymetrical bad-faith social media warfare
Did the @AP get frogmarched by the Stanford Republican club? jeebus.
"The editor said I was not going to get in any trouble because everyone had opinions in college," Wilder said. "Then came the rest of the week."

If this account is accurate, not good actions by the @ap

Are any of the Peter Pan movies good. (And don’t say the original animation, soooo racist.)
Dunno that I’ve ever seen a spread this large
Did anyone watch the rushes of this movie ?

Elon Musk dressing like a Bond villain is ...
God he is just the worst.
Claiming that his tendency to,say, accuse a person rescuing trapped kids of being a pedophile on neurodiversity is quite something.

The principal that we all thought was creepy to us 7th-8th grade girls is in jail now.

Trust your instincts.
here's that principal. it wasn't until a former student ran into him teaching at her own daughter's (different) school that he was finally investigated and prosecuted: washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fo…
and, when he finally was convicted, Ken Starr, Charlie Gibson, Nat Geo CEO/EIC Gilbert M. Grosvenor, and other luminaries pleaded for clemency. KNOWING HE MAY HAVE MOLESTED IF NOT THEIR OWN KIDS THEN THEIR FRIENDS.

Personally, I think we should move beyond the point where the First Spouse (if there is one) is "in charge" of decorating the White House or designing the Rose Garden, unless they're into it.
Like we don't expect the First Lady/Gentleman to cook for every state dinner. They hire an executive chef (who yeah, seeks input/sign off but...) for that.
I have zero love or respect for Melania, but I think the Rose Garden had some real drainage issues that had to be attended to.

And if we're going to do before/after photo outrage, those photos should be at the exact same time of year.
