Yesterday I was perusing comments on an Upworthy article about Joe Biden comforting the son of a Parkland shooting victim and immediately had flashbacks to the lead-up of the 2016 election. In describing former vice President Biden, some commenters were using the words “criminal,” “corrupt,” and “pedophile—exactly the same words people used to describe Hillary Clinton in 2016.

I remember being baffled so many people were so convinced of Clinton’s evil schemes that they genuinely saw the documented serial liar and cheat that she was running against as the lesser of two evils. I mean, sure, if you believe that a career politician had spent years being paid off by powerful people and was trafficking children to suck their blood in her free time, just about anything looks like a better alternative.

But none of that was true.

It’s been four years and Hillary Clinton has been found guilty of exactly none of the criminal activity she was being accused of. Trump spent every campaign rally leading chants of “Lock her up!” under the guise that she was going to go to jail after the election. He’s been president for nearly four years now, and where is Clinton? Not in jail—she’s comfy at home, occasionally trolling Trump on Twitter and doing podcasts.

Every accusation that had any possible truth to it has been investigated by the Trump administration and by Republicans in Congress, and guess what—Clinton has still not been charged or indicted for one damn thing. Why? Because there’s nothing there to indict her for.

It’s not like she hasn’t been investigated thoroughly—by her opponents—for her handling of classified emails and her role in Benghazi and cleared of any wrongdoing. It’s not like Trump hasn’t had a chance to send the full power of the law enforcement he has at his disposal after her. It’s not like there aren’t Republicans in power who would love nothing more than to see her behind bars.

But that hasn’t happened. If she were guilty of the stuff she’s been accused of, she’d be in prison. And she’s not.

Yet people persisted like mad in their assertions that she was a criminal.. Now we’re seeing same kinds of disinformation campaigns being waged against Joe Biden, mainly through his son, Hunter. And make no mistake, it’s a purposeful strategy. Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon succinctly explained that the key to manipulating the media—and by extension, the public—is to “flood the zone with sh*t.” You provide a tsunami of junk news, with just enough tiny nuggets of truth that people don’t know what to believe, and in such high volumes that wading through it all to try to discern what’s true is impossible.

The fact of the matter is that the Hunter Biden stories that have gotten Trumpland all foamy at the mouth have not proven to have news legs. The reporter who wrote it up for The New York Post—a tabloid paper that already didn’t have a great journalistic reputation—reportedly refused to put his name on it. But that hasn’t stopped people from sharing it like it’s gospel truth.

NBC News did a really great in-depth investigative report on the super sketchy origins of the Hunter Biden story, but of course the people who need to read it won’t, because they think NBC is fake news. (The number of people who think real journalistic news is “fake news,” while simultaneously believing that blatantly biased fringe outlets are real news is baffling. But that’s where we are—up is down, left is right, and fiction is “alternative fact” in the disinformation age.)

For what it’s worth, The Wall Street Journal—one of the most reputable journalistic news sources out there, and one that can’t be accused of being biased to the left due to its right-leaning editorial board—reported yesterday that their review of the documents showed Joe Biden playing no role in the business ventures of his son. And yet the Breitbarts and the Infowars and the other myriad right-wing outlets just keep on running with it, knowing that the actual truth doesn’t really matter if people think something is true—more more accurately if people want to believe it’s true.

Of course, disinformation campaigns aren’t new, especially on the right-wing side of the aisle. In 2004, John Kerry famously had his Vietnam record smeared by a contrived veteran group that ended up being discredited after he lost the election. In 2008, the whole “birther” movement claiming Obama wasn’t born in the United States was pushed by many, including Donald Trump himself, despite the fact that it was ridiculously untrue. The only thing true about it was its racist origin.

But these last two elections, the conspiracy theories and smear campaigns have become more and more heinous. I mean, a Satan-worshiping cabal of pedophile elites? Come on, people. But it makes sense when you think about it. When you have candidate who is on tape saying he “tried to f*ck” a married woman and that he grabs women “by the p*ssy” because they let him, who paid off a porn star he had an affair with when his wife was pregnant with his child, who had to pay $2 million for misusing his charitable foundation’s money for personal gain, who had to pay a $25 million settlement to students he defrauded with his “university,” who is a billionaire who owes hundreds of millions of dollars and refuses to release his tax returns, and whose campaign and administration have produced indictment after indictment, and more—to make that candidate look remotely acceptable, much less desirable, you have to make his opponent look not just bad, but like evil incarnate.

That’s how we’ve ended up with crap like “Pizzagate” and QAnon boiling up from the dark corners of the internet. If we lived in a normal era, such insane ideas would disintegrate in the light of day, but now we have people in powerful positions—including the president himself—pushing them. And with social media outlets inadvertently amplifying them, getting people to see disinformation for what it is feels like a losing battle.

This is why it’s important to bring up Hillary Clinton now, 11 days before an election she’s not even a part of. Because the things that people said about her in 2016 were far worse than what people claim about about Biden, and yet after four years, she’s not been found guilty of a thing. The only way you can explain that is by creating some kind of elaborate, “deep state” conspiracy, and if you’ve slipped into that kooky world, you’re probably beyond help. But if you’re merely unsure or suspicious of what you’ve heard—which is understandable, considering how much junk information there is to sift through—just think this through. If what had been said about Hillary Clinton were true, wouldn’t she be locked up by now?

For the love of all that is good and decent—literally—please don’t fall for this garbage again, America. There’s far too much at stake.

Among Us is the surprise hit game of 2020, as the two-year old game has become a star online thanks to its amplification on Twitch streams and amid an explosion of party game popularity.

But the backlash against the game has officially begun, and according to reports, it’s of a political nature. Among Us developer InnerSloth shared on Twitter that it was aware of the spam promoting an online handle, “Eris Loris,” and is attempting to fight back against what appears to be a coordinated attack.

The Verge reported on Friday that pro-Trump hackers and trolls are apparently wreaking havoc on the game’s servers and doing their best to disrupt games played, even among friends. They cited a Eurogamer report that apparently included an interview with the hacker behind the attack, who claims to have recruited others to coordinate a pro-Trump message on the game’s servers.

via The Verge:

The end goal, it appears, is to promote the Eris Loris YouTube channel, which advertises hacks and other game cheating services. The spam attack may have hit as many as 1.5 million games, affecting close to 5 million players if the hackers’ claims are to be believed. Loris is also a self-described Trump supporter, the report says.

It’s entirely unclear why Among Us was targeted for the attack, other than its meteoric rise in popularity. But the attack also comes days after New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez caused considerable buzz by playing the game on Twitch with other streamers and liberal politicians. That stream was one of the platform’s most popular ever, and certainly one of the high-water marks for a game that’s become so popular InnerSloth stopped working on a sequel to support the current title.

This election might be giving a lot of people stress, but it’s also giving us memes. While Thursday’s debate didn’t have anything nearly as spectacular as the fly – which will now get a whole chapter in future history books just so there’s enough room to cover even a fraction of the jokes – people were still able to have fun with it.

During the debate, Joe Biden accidentally misspoke and referred the Proud Boys as “poor boys.” “He has made everything worse across the board. He said about the poor boys, the last time we were on stage here, he said ‘I tell them to stand down and stand ready,'” Biden said during Thursday night’s debate. “Come on. This guy is a dog whistle about as big as a foghorn,” Biden said.

While the internet didn’t pick up on that whole vintagey-sounding dog whistle/foghorn analogy, Twitter did go wild with Biden’s “poor boy” moniker.

Some people just had fun with it and made it their own.

While others brought up the food. A poor boy is a sandwich, Joe!

And some people wanted to officially make “poor boys” a thing.

Verbal gaffs from politicians are the gift that keeps on giving. And while this whole election cycle might be exhausting, at least we’re able to still have even a little bit of fun.

Michael Jordan is considered perhaps the greatest competitor and biggest star in NBA history, but at the same time, Jordan was an intensely private man off the floor. It’s one of the funny things about him — Jordan was, quite possibly, the most famous human on the planet during his tenure with the Chicago Bulls, but when he was able to get away from basketball, he seemed to relish being able to get out of the spotlight.

Jordan made this clear in a recent interview he gave to Cigar Aficionado. The Hall of Fame inductee explained that he believes social media “has invaded the personalities and personal time of individuals,” citing his friend Tiger Woods. He went on to make the surprising claim that if he played right now, Jordan isn’t sure how he would have done with something as intrusive as Twitter.

“But for someone like myself — and this is what Tiger deals with — I don’t know if I could’ve survived in this Twitter [era], where you don’t have the privacy that you’d want and what seems to be very innocent can always be misinterpreted,” Jordan said.

Again, Jordan was the most famous human on the planet during his heyday with the Bulls, was the pitchman for about 10,000 different things, and came to exemplify greatness in a way that few could ever match, so for him to say this about the current era of basketball is eyebrow-raising. The conversation about the NBA now vs. the NBA back in Jordan’s era usually stems from things like the way the game is played and the physicality of the game, but it never touches on all the stuff around the game that is nigh impossible for players to ignore. It speaks volumes if Jordan of all people believes this would have caused him to struggle.

In an effort to encourage people to get to the polls, Michelle Obama teamed up with LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells brand for a special voting playlist. Filled with old-school hip-hop tracks aimed at getting people excited to cast their ballots, Michelle’s Voting Soundtrack features classics by The Roots, Public Enemy, and more.

Michelle shared the playlist Friday, one day after she took advantage of early voting and cast her own ballot. Along with The Roots and Public Enemy, her Voting Soundtrack features Queen Latifah’s “U.N.I.T.Y,” Mos Def and Talib Kweli’s “Respiration” with Common, Black Sheep’s “The Choice Is Yours,” Kurtis Blow and Run DMC’s “Hard Times,” and more.

The playlist arrives following Michelle’s DNC speech where many thought she casually threw shade at Kanye West’s presidential campaign, for which the rapper is continuing to shell out millions of dollars from his own pocket. During her speech, the former First Lady said: “This is not the time to withhold our votes in protest or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning. We have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012. We’ve got to show up with the same level of passion and hope for Joe Biden.”

Last year, Jay-Z announced he was partnering with California-based cannabis company Caliva as its Chief Brand Strategist. In the role, the rapper assisted with brand and marketing strategies and placed a lot of focus on social justice issues surrounding the industry. Now taking things one step further, Jay Z has launched his very-own brand of cannabis.

Jay’s new brand, named Monogram, is grown in small batches to allow control over flavor and potency. According to their website, Monogram seeks to “redefine what cannabis means to consumers today” with “careful strain selection, meticulous cultivation practices, and uncompromising quality.”

The celebrate the brand’s launch, Jay has released a new playlist on his Tidal streaming platform titled Sounds From The Grow Room. The playlist features music from well-known stoners like Bob Marley, Outkast, and Rihanna.

Previously speaking about working with Caliva, Jay said: “Anything I do, I want to do correctly and at the highest level. With all the potential in the cannabis industry, Caliva’s expertise and ethos make them the best partners for this endeavor. We want to create something amazing, have fun in the process, do good, and bring people along the way.”

Jay Z is far from the first rapper to dive into the cannabis industry. Others like Drake, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Run The Jewels have their own cannabis strains and products that can be purchased at dispensaries across the country.

Timing has never seemed to be on Victor Oladipo’s side during his NBA career, and heading into an expiring contract after one of the worst seasons of his life, the same is true now. Oladipo is angling for his next big contract, whether that be in Indiana or elsewhere, but even in an offseason where the two-time All-Star may have one of the biggest names on the trade market, timing probably isn’t going to work in Oladipo’s favor.

Over the course of the four-year, $84 million deal that Oladipo originally signed with Orlando, he has gone from a prospect with upside, to a potential superstar, to an injury catastrophe, to a rehab project. Now facing free agency next offseason and a Pacers team that has failed to get over the hump and into the conference finals, Oladipo finds himself in a rough spot.

Even with ruptured quadriceps tendon, Oladipo last season turned down a four-year, $80 million extension from Indiana last summer, according to Ian Begley of SNY. Getting back onto the court just before the NBA hiatus was remarkable, and playing in the Bubble was again a promising sign for his recovery, but Oladipo was a shell of himself. He shot just 39.4 percent from the field in 19 total games this season and hardly looked like the slashing killer that almost beat LeBron James in a playoff series in 2018.

In the playoffs, when the Pacers really needed him to step up as a scorer against Miami’s high-powered attack, Oladipo couldn’t create separation and explode to the rim like he could before the injury. After shooting nearly six free throws per game in the postseason two years ago, Oladipo got to the line just four times a game this year.

In large part, when he looked to score, he settled for tough pull-up jumpers. When he did go to the rim, he did so without the ability to finish with strength and athleticism that he is known for. The result was a player who was pretty easy to guard — an ordinary athlete in a star’s body on a team that asked him to do too much.

Jae Crowder had a remarkable playoff run defensively and is a bigger, stronger player you might expect Oladipo to struggle with. But the type of player who says no to $80 million is not the same type of player who gets stifled at the rim by Crowder.

It wasn’t just a failure to get to the basket that hurt Oladipo. The coordination and fluidity that made him not only a great scorer but a strong play-maker for others was gone in the Bubble. His assist rate shrunk while his turnover rate increased, and he had a lot of ugly turnovers. More troubling was that many were not just bad passes as he regained chemistry with teammates, but that he was tripping over himself, traveling, and generally looking like he didn’t have a plan. Either that, or the way he used to play just wasn’t possible anymore. The struggle in projecting out what his value is stems from the fact that we cannot know the answer.

After his postseason struggles, Oladipo probably isn’t worth that $80 million contract from Indiana right now. With a new head coach in Nate Bjorkgren and a pricy, developing core that held up just fine without Oladipo last season, the Pacers would struggle to justify forcing an extension with their injured star.

That may mean Oladipo seeks out a trade, and plugged-in NBA reporters seem to believe teams are interested in him. Yet a smallish wing whose value was built around athleticism coming off a ruptured quad and a 39.4 percent shooting season is nobody’s idea of a highly valuable trade chip. Even if a team inquired, Oladipo’s recent play means Indiana has little to no leverage. If they can’t fetch much, they may be wise to simply play it out in 2021 and revisit extension and trade talks next offseason.

Should a trade take place this fall, the outline of a team which might target Oladipo probably goes something like this: They are trying to win in 2021, have enough spending power to pay him the sizable $21 million he’s owed this year, and can take a bet on the potential shot creation and perimeter defense (which held up well coming off injury) Oladipo provides. They probably are also in a smaller market where it would be difficult to woo Oladipo in free agency or are a title contender in a cash bind that leaves Oladipo as the best option available.

Who checks all those boxes? In the first group there’s Charlotte, Atlanta, Minnesota, or maybe an Orlando reunion. Among the contenders, maybe Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, or the Lakers take a shot. But how much should a team really be willing to give up if Oladipo remains nothing more than a bench guard for the rest of his career?

Oladipo could also come back in 2021 closer to his pre-injury form, but he will turn 29 next season and his game has revolved around athleticism since he was in college. A best-case scenario if the effects of the injury linger could be that he reorients his offensive game like Derrick Rose, but the slightly older Rose has had a hard time getting any sort of long-term commitment from a good team in recent years even as he’s turned in back-to-back strong seasons. Nobody’s giving up a first-round draft pick or a blue chip prospect in a trade with the Pacers if what they’re getting back is merely a younger Rose.

Oladipo wants a payday, and that’s understandable, both with his health in question and based off the fact that he’s an All-Star at his best. A worse team would likely be more willing to pay him, but it’s hard to imagine Oladipo making good on being, say, the Hornets’ star acquisition. As with many players in Oladipo’s position, it will be a question of how long he holds out before deciding to potentially sacrifice a bit of money for a role and situation that suits him best.

The Pacers couldn’t bring it out of him this season, but Oladipo can be a strong perimeter defender, solid spot-up shooter, and secondary play-maker in the right context. Maybe he rediscovers his superstar form. As things stand today, however, Oladipo may have to wait — and accept less money — to settle in comfortably somewhere new.

There are countless factors that go into determining the value of a piece of art. The artist, condition, size, historical relevance, proof of authenticity, and current art market can all have a huge effect.

There’s also something to be said about whether the work is quality or not. Although, there have been a lot of questionable art pieces that have sold for millions.

For instance, Onement Vi By Barnett Newman went for $43 million. To me it looks like a blue ping-pong table. But art critics say it represents feelings of “loneliness” and “sadness.”

Art affects different people in different ways so some things can attract buying prices that are way above what most would consider rational. That can be good news for the artist, as we can see from the story of pet sketch artist, Phil Heckels of England.

Last month, Heckels was trying to get his six-year-old son to make a thank you card for a family member. So, as an example, he created a wacky-looking picture of the family dog, a black Labrador named Narla.

“It was pretty crap,” he told CNN. We agree. Especially the dog’s neck. The real dog has a thick neck, but Heckel’s sketch has a pencil-then neck.

He jokingly posted a picture of it on Facebook, offering to sell it for £299 (around $390). He soon received multiple requests from friends to draw their pets. So he set up a Facebook page under the name Hercule Van Wolfwinkle, to accommodate all the requests.

“Extremely realistic pictures which will grace any household,” the site reads, tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Heckel’s artistic representations tend to have goofy-looking eyes and elongated limbs. He has drawn dogs, cats, horses, mice, and even a praying mantis.

One customer insisted on paying him for his precious art, So he set up a JustGiving fundraiser for Turning Tides, a local homeless charity. “I can’t take any money for it so give some money to charity,” Heckels said.

“It’s an absolute basic human need to have a roof over your head,” he said

So far, he’s drawn over 220 portraits, raising nearly £18,000 ($23,000) for Turning Tides and he isn’t even close to being finished. He has a backlog of over 1,000 commissions that grows by the day.

“It is like a little bit of fun and a little bit of light when there isn’t much to be cheery about at the minute,” he said. “I would die a happy man if I could spend the rest of my life doing this.”

Even though he’s become a famous artist, Heckels hasn’t let the acclaim go to his head.

“I’m just having a laugh with it,” he told CNN. “People seem to be enjoying it and I’m certainly enjoying it.”

Here is some of Heckel’s best work.
