Former DHS disinformation expert sues Fox News alleging defamation
Nina Jankowicz, who once led the Department of Homeland Security board, said that Fox deliberately lied about her and that she was subjected to death threats.
An expert who once oversaw a Department of Homeland Security disinformation board filed a defamation suit Wednesday against Fox News, her lawyer said.
Nina Jankowicz said in the suit, filed in Delaware state court, that she was subjected to violent threats because of Fox News’ portrayal of her and her role, which included insults made on the network.
“Fox’s coverage of Jankowicz was neither news nor political commentary; it was cheap, easy entertainment untethered from the facts, designed to make consumers believe that Jankowicz could and would suppress their speech,” her attorneys wrote in the suit. “Fox chose to lie about Jankowicz deliberately.”

Drinking alcohol doesn't help you live longer. Instead, it is at least, a risk for illness
Why was it common knowledge yesterday that alcohol in moderation is good for you, but it’s common knowledge today that no amount of alcohol is OK?
Turns out the "French paradox" (that the French live longer because they drink wine) is wrong - the factor is mostly the Mediterranean diet, including more fruits and vegetables. Also;:
- The French to under-report heart-disease deaths
- 4% of all cancers and 15% of breast cancers are related to drinking. (Only 39% of Americans know that alcohol causes cancer)
- Big Alcohol companies pushed the falsehood (surprise!)
- A bias on helping a minority (alcoholics) made it look like they were the only ones endangered by drinking

♲ @diane_a@diasp.org:Literally gonna fucking cry right here right now. That’s why I pay tribute to Medusa🖤🐍
A 2,134-meter tall statue of Medusa holding the severed head of Perseus has been installed in Manhattan, across from the NY County Criminal Court, the site of high-profile abuse cases.
Medusa was stalked and raped by Poseidon and then blamed for it, and cursed by Athena with snake hair and turning people into stone statues. She was banished and so Perseus killed and beheaded her. Turning into a "Hero"
This statue "flips the narrative" as a way to bring justice to the character and the countless real-life Medusas. Who suffer the same fate due to the lack of justice in the world...
De l’autre coté des océans, des déserts et des montagnes, juste avant que le téléphone ne tombe en panne, ma vieille mère m’a demandée :
- Que fais-tu pour Pâques ?
C’est agaçant cette insistance à vouloir te ramener dans la barque que tu as quittée… je lui ai répondu :
- Pour Pâques ? Je jeûne et je pense à tous ces agneaux qui vont être sacrifiés !**

Earlier today, I used a #MacroLens to #photograph a subject close up. Now I switched to a #telephoto lens with a #FocalLength of 400 mm to capture objects effectively at #infinity.
You may have seen some of my #sunset #photographs before and, yes, it's the same #horizon and the same old #Sun but this one caught my eye because of its sharpness. There wasn't a cloud in the vicinity of the Sun when it was setting. You can see the bright, smoothly varying #yellow, #gold and #orange of the #sky contrasting the dark, sharp #silhouettes of the #trees in the #foreground. Also there's that mobile phone mast too.
#Cropping the image around our local #star, you see the #trees in what I'm calling #ExtremeSilhouette as the blinding light of the Sun seem to flow around solid wood and renders it invisible with only the ends of branches seemingly suspended in mid air disconnected to the trunk and giving the Sun the appearance of having spiky hair.

This is the first successful breach of the White House fence since it was recently doubled in height. It appears that the designers did not consider the possibility of intruders simply going through the fence. 🤣🤣🤣
