ad nauseam

Black, White, and Yellow by Marc Mendelson, 1952 https://botfrens.com/collections/212/contents/137458

I’d like to thank the BBC for trusting me to take over as showrunner of Doctor Who. I’ve got some big changes planned which I’m sure fans will love! For starters, instead of an alien from space, Doctor Who will now be a private investigator in Southern California who drives a Pontiac Firebird

For the first time in nearly thirty years, here's a brief glimpse of David Tennant's 1996 short film, 'Quality Control'! I'll premiere the full film on my Substack (link's in my bio) on Saturday, June 13th at 10:00 AM EDT / 3:00 PM BST. Make sure to subscribe - it's free! - so you can catch it!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

new conspiracy theory: Trump started the war to get out of going to his son's wedding

Read to filth by my 9yo while watching today's @gamechanger.dropout.tv - Jeremy's line was "Filthy, disgusting, and full of conservative dumb virgins" to which my kid whips around to me and says "That's you, Mom!" #ouch

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing detectable neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HIV within just THREE weeks after a SINGLE immunization which was further INCREASED after an additional booster.

Before it goes up… take a deep breath, remember how special it was, know that you are here as it ends, trust that we made it as special as we could and prepare to say goodbye.🩷✨🪽Thank you to the fans, thank you to the cast and crew, I am so unbelievably grateful that I got to play in this world 🩷✨🪽

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, a Democrat, holds a burning Confederate flag inside the Tennessee State Capitol as state troopers move nearby.

what's that name for the literary aphorism where if an author shows you something with a clear function early they should make it be important later on

"Supervised probation" and 30 days in jail. Unbelievable. No meaningful consequences whatsoever despite causing immense amounts of terror and harm locally.

"A more just world may never come as compensation for our efforts, but the commitment to fight for it is itself the substance of a life oriented towards liberation."

The video game that cracked so many eggshells

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

It's incredibly good that Abdul is doing this and incredibly important that pro-Palestine candidates do this as a general matter, even if they don't get sufficient credit.

In a development delighting women everywhere, Richard Dawkins discovers he can pester AI instead

Run this as a pro choice ad

Please spread the word to young people impacted by policing/incarceration/punishment that they should apply for this grant. It could pay up to $2500 for them to create an art project!

"I would like to know more about Gender. I think I would like to look to the writings of a man whose mother died when he was very young, who had no sisters, who received an all male education, and then spent time in the all-male military, to then return to Oxford"

this is the same woman who went crying to the police when someone knocked her phone out of her hand because she wouldn’t stop filming the bleeding victims of the charlottesville car attack. on the scene of a mass casualty incident, feet away from a woman’s dead body, it was all about her.

Good Morning America interviewed Cherise Doyley about her traumatic birth experience, first detailed in @amyyurkanin.bsky.social's reporting for @propublica.org. Thankful that this story is still keeping Black maternal health in the spotlight. www.goodmorningamerica.com/video/132491...

My Threads feed is full of Black folks absolutely gutted and despairing over today’s Voting Rights Act ruling. I love Bluesky for so much, but today is one of those historical moments where it is stark that we really live in two different Americas.

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

Me, every single day:

Before becoming a parent, I was under the mistaken impression that parents automatically loved their children. Then I started attending kid events and quickly realized many parents consider their kids an annoying burden and simply do not like them. That sucks for everyone. So yeah, I endorse this.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Looks like the prosecutors couldn’t make it stand up in court

"fuck it, we'll do it dead" - bill o'reilly, probably

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

this is correct because people who know how to talk to "ordinary people" just actually TALK TO ORDINARY PEOPLE, lol. They don't speak like PUNDITS. That's what Beshear was doing. He sounds like Rahm Emanuel which means he sounds like a loser.

the strait of hormuz needs to have regular, predictable open hours or frankly they are going to lose me as a customer

Interesting survey. Attention all #homeschooled! Homeschool Experiences of Young and Emerging Adults: An Investigation of Socio-Emotional, Educational and Employment Outcomes

rip to all the people excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

hey everyone JD Vance thinks the pope should be careful when he (the pope) talks about Catholic theology

This is more than legislation. This work is personal to me. theonion.com/illinois-bec...

Oh I haven't felt hope like this in WEEKS!! Stay on their necks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Breaking: Sal Khan, an MIT engineer and Harvard MBA who has no background in education, nor much curiosity about it, still knows next to nothing about the industry he perpetually fails to disrupt.

Gonna be a lot of laudatory articles highlighting the moral red lines for people turning away from MAGA when it's really just gas and beef prices. Like I'm glad, I guess, but it's Q2 2026, you're stained forever.
