Someone please think of the straight women!
Chappell Roan’s songs are great. With vivid storytelling, emotional vocals, and camp presentation, her act is wholly entertaining.

THE NEW YORK TIMES instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept. The memo also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases” and to steer clear of the term “refugee camps” to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous Israeli–Arab wars. The areas are recognized by the United Nations as refugee camps and house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees.
The Times memo outlines guidance on a range of phrases and terms. “The nature of the conflict has led to inflammatory language and incendiary accusations on all sides. We should be very cautious about using such language, even in quotations. Our goal is to provide clear, accurate information, and heated language can often obscure rather than clarify the fact,” the memo says. “Words like ‘slaughter,’ ‘massacre’ and ‘carnage’ often convey more emotion than information. Think hard before using them in our own voice,” according to the memo. “Can we articulate why we are applying those words to one particular situation and not another? As always, we should focus on clarity and precision — describe what happened rather than using a label.” Despite the memo’s framing as an effort to not employ incendiary language to describe killings “on all sides,” in the Times reporting on the Gaza war, such language has been used repeatedly to describe attacks against Israelis by Palestinians and almost never in the case of Israel’s large-scale killing of Palestinians.

My favorite thing about this post is all the Americans in the notes gamely playing along with getting captured by the burger trap.
My second favorite thing is the Americans in the notes going "That won't work on me because [insert an ingredient on the burger they want changed/added/removed]," implying that they would fall for the burger trap if it was their preferred burger order.

genuinely first two pages he says that he thinks ben’s lawyer is the one who is actually suing him and admits he has no clue what the lawsuit is about .
doing a reread now this is so cunty
goddamn .
#I know what I’m reading today. I love a good deposition#but this is the issue with a billionaire. he knows the worst that can happen is a settlement so he#has no reason to understand the law or the severity or anything#this lawyer is doing the damn thing tho#but none of this matters. Elon is allowed to break all laws bc he can pay. this is the most sad snapshot of the wealth class#a wealthy idiot being dropped off to a deposition not knowing anything other than this is inconsequential to him
elon musk admitted under threat of perjury that this is his burner account
