- Republican gerrymandering is going to shape the next election in dangerous ways: "The rapidly forming congressional map, a quarter of which has taken shape as districts are redrawn this year, represents an even more extreme warping of American political architecture, with state legislators in many places moving aggressively to cement their partisan dominance."
- Why was reporter Felicia Sonmez punished by the Washington Post for talking about sexual assault? NY Magazine writes, "How the Post got to this strange place, where its very highest editors bent over backward to punish a single reporter for talking publicly about being assaulted, is a story of generational differences and blind spots and changing journalistic standards."
- Does it still suck to live with your parents as an adult? Most definitely.
- Alex Jones has been found liable by default in a defamation case brought by the families of eight people killed at Sandy Hook.
- Oh great, now I have to double check whether my fancy soap is made by white nationalists.
- This is the only profile of Sam Asghari, Britney Spears' shady fiancé, and his entourage (publicist and creative director) that you'll want to read: "While Maxi’s and Mr. Cohen’s exact responsibilities relative to Mr. Asghari and to each other were not obvious, what was apparent was that, working in concert yet ofttimes also at odds, these two stewards of Mr. Asghari’s career together created an anxious alternate reality so powerfully felt by them that it intermittently supplanted actual reality for everyone in the immediate vicinity."
- These are some crazy photos of a volcano in Hawaii which erupted over a five year period in the late '60s/'70s.
- Big Boi confirmed he has recorded a "monster hit" with Kate Bush that "people are going to fucking love" but he added that it will arrive "whenever I think they deserve it, I'm going to give it to them."
- Kanye West released a deluxe version of Donda (featuring three new songs, two extended songs, and a few small changes), while Taylor Swift released the music video for "I Bet You Think About Me" (starring alleged anti-vaxxer Miles Teller).
- And finally, have you ever seen an invisible dog before? Well, you still haven't:
