Sucks to suck!

If you want your bathroom to be a health coach, we cannot be friends.

I saw someone poopoo this yesterday, so I think it bears repeating. Yes, the US has cops/ICE to do much of the work of pogroms on a pro-am basis. But it's absolutely the case the MAGA demons were hoping for Belfast to play out across the US, and it's absolutely worth taking heart it didn't happen.

Barbie and Thelma were movies that I got to show to my sister-in-law while she has been visiting us. She liked Thelma so much that she's going to get a physical copy. The other two were recent @diabolikdvd.bsky.social deliveries. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

The White Sox are in first place, the Knicks just had an improbable comeback not long after Spike Lee gave him a jersey, are we SURE Pope Leo isn't calling the shots rn?

NOW WATCHING 📽 THE PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK (1974) Dir. Francesco Barilli (I'm so mad about the glare in this picture.)

In the 1980s two economists (Tomas Philipson and Richard Posner) wrote a book advising the Reagan/Bush administrations to defer any action on AIDS for this very reason. They argued legalizing gay marriage would actually save more lives without public spending by cutting down on "promiscuity"

I'm watching the new Warner Archive blu-ray of The Late Show and the subtitles keep saying "tyres" instead of "tires," am I crazy?

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

Obligatory Bean post

Wearing a new dress to go with my family to my favorite place in the world, the Art Institute of Chicago. Today has great potential.

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.

A literacy crisis means people are struggling to UNDERSTAND what they are reading, not that people can't necessarily read.

This is Sloppy Jo. We adopted her in October and she recently graduated froma training program to learn how to walk better on leash and how to be chill around other dogs. Will spam you all as much as possible.

I really should post my own stuff here more. I'm always watching movies, and I'm sorry to to you all but I have been withholding pictures of my very cute dog.

Confirming with my own eyes and pics what several fellow Washingtonians have said about this post with hundreds of shares and earnest comments: straight up misinformation

Generally speaking if you have read claims of sexual misconduct in the a broadsheet newspaper or glossy magazine, you can assume that they have been thoroughly vetted and that there’s a lot of worse behavior that couldn’t be confirmed.

And I'm just supposed to go about the rest of my day? This sucks.

So men just get to do whatever they want to, huh

to be a woman is to want to constantly scream and cry at the same time

My favorite part of The Odyssey is when he kept saying he’s a Dapper Dan man.

arguing over whether politicians are masculine enough is just another way of hating women EVEN WHEN THEY AREN'T THERE TO BE HATED and it makes me crazy

now and forever

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

“Women think in Sirk’s films. Usually women are always reacting, doing what women are supposed to do, but in Sirk they think. It’s something that has to be seen. It’s great to see women think. It gives one hope. Honestly.” ― Rainer Werner Fassbinder #BOTD

They would’ve made all new slurs if Obama did a Hoop It Up tournament on the South Lawn for his birthday.

We can’t afford healthcare

Masks are an extremely cheap & relatively efficient way to prevent all kinds of airborne illnesses getting into your own body. They don't harm surrounding people, they are easy to carry, can't be used in any devious way, yet that MD seems bothered by this completely innocuous things. I miss adults.

Today is a good day to remember that wars are almost never started, managed, or concluded by the people who die in them.

if your movie has a robot, it's more of a Star Wars than a Not Star Wars. In this way, Wall Street is more of a Star Wars than most movies

guys we don’t have to have discourse about this app every single day, we don’t have to do this

If Blue Heron is playing at a theater near you, please go see it. It's a stunning achievement. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

turns out it was a bit of a whoopsie to focus on low level j6 rioters rather than throwing the ring leaders in jail immediately and tossing the keys. oh well, better luck next time!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

where does this money come from
