A NYPost Journalist Resigns After Being Ordered to Write a False Story about Kamala Harris

The New York Post ran — and later deleted — a story in which the paper alleged that Kamala Harris was handing out a copy of her children’s book, Superheroes are Everywhere, as a part of the “welcome kit” to every migrant child who crossed the border. It was false. Categorically so. The journalist asked to write it has subsequently resigned. (The Hill)

As I was a teenager in the 1980s, I’m semi-intrigued by the idea of Andrew McCarthy’s Brat Pack book, but I have to be honest, I would be far more intrigued if it were written by literally any other member of the Brat Pack. He was always the most vanilla of them all. - (Lainey Gossip)

I guess people are talking about Zac Efron’s face looking all different now? I don’t really know. He looks older, I think. Maybe more filled out or more rugged? I don’t know. Does he look different now? - (Celebitchy)

Disney’s Enchanted is one of those movies I put on when I can’t decide what to watch and I just want something upbeat and cheerful (also Tangled, which just doesn’t get enough love, imo). A sequel with Amy Adams and James Marsden returning PLUS Maya Rudolph and Yvette Nicole Brown?! - (Deadline)

If this is true, it might also become something I repeatedly put on when I can’t decide what to watch, especially if it BURNS Justin Timberlake to the emmereffing ground! - (The Root)

Now your lazy toddler has no excuse for not helping with the chores. You WILL have to listen to that ‘Baby Shark’ song on repeat, but I think it’s totally worth it to have that shiftless baby do their part. - (Delish)

Why are McDonald’s ice cream machines always broken? This guy does a deep dive to figure it out and explains it in a short 30-minute video. - (BoingBoing)

Ciara shared this and she’s right, it’s pretty hilarious!

Sarah read Kazuo Ishiguro’s most recent work of science fiction, Klara and the Sun, at a moment when the book amplified her own life experience. Ishiguro was asking the same question she was: "What would I do for the person I loved the most?" (Cannonball Read 13)
