One of Zohran’s better lines from his opening tussle with Cuomo: “What I lack in experience, I make up for in integrity. What you lack in integrity, you could never make up for with experience.”

The moment when he starts giving his canned response and she goes “that’s such bullshit” lmao I have no idea who these ladies are but they rock

🪶 In the Ojibwe language, the word for chickadee is gijigijigaaneshiinh. To hear it pronounced (it sounds really cool) visit ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/m...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster. The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

It blows my mind that this hasn’t happened yet.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

Devastating news. RIP Jane Goodall, but what a legacy she leaves behind.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

What's so remarkable about this is how it acknowledges Sanger's turn into eugenics, and explicitly rejects it, and then pushes for alternative caregivers like doulas and midwives. As someone deeply interested in how male politicians talk about bodily autonomy, this is REMARKABLE.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him. they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

Canceling #DisneyPlus was hard. I've been a subscriber since launch. I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do it's usually re-watching Star Wars stuff. I have a ritual of watching The Village Bride before bed if I've had a bad day. I really hope #Disney reverses course so I can re-subscribe.

Another week, another record broken by KPop Demon Hunters!

I was skeptical so I looked into this, and tear gas is indeed known to cause miscarriages. The anti-abortion party is heavily employing tear gas at protests, potentially causing involuntary abortions.

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

Dutch late night TV has its take

I’ve been struggling with the reactions that a friend (who I’ve not spoken with in years, life gets busy and all) has been posting on social media. I was shocked at how personally devastated she was, how much she was praising Kirk. This thread probably explains what’s going on there.

How the fuck did we get to this point, where the immediate reaction to that statement wasn’t abject horror? To the point where he felt perfectly comfortable stating that on live TV?

Absence of empathy DOES NOT EQUAL presence of malice.

Symbolism I noticed in #KPopDemonHunters Zoey easily connects with people and values closeness. She uses daggers, which are very close range weapons. Mira's the black sheep problem child, presumably keeps most people at a distance. She wields a glaive, which is a weapon with a long reach.

This is what it sounds like~ My KPDH print that i crunched out for Epic! It was really well received which I'm very happy about hehe #kpdh #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS #art #digitalart

He only says this because any entity that can form words immediately shouts "SHUT THE FUCK UP" at the top of its lungs as soon as they see his face.

“Charlie Kirk, the far-right commentator and ally of Donald Trump, was killed on Wednesday doing what he was known for throughout his career – making incendiary and often racist and sexist comments to large audiences.”

Live your life in such a way that people do not celebrate your passing. I cannot imagine a life lived in a prison of hatred, that one has placed their own self into. That is hardly a life at all. That, is the tragedy.

Charlie Kirk was a private citizen Melissa Hortman was a seated lawmaker in MN No Flags were flown half staff at the WH for her death by gun violence

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

For-profit healthcare is evil None of these middle men need to exist. They are parasitic leeches, making the masses sicker in order to line their own pockets We need universal healthcare NOW

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

It’s time for America to face its shadow

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.

We have an extraordinary example of someone who is a unifier beyond expectation right now, and it's Zohran Mamdani. He does not throw anyone under the bus. The most important thing he did? Listen to what has people most upset. Propose policy that met those needs.

CHICAGO…

Bart and Lisa in the backseat: “Is he dead yet?” “Is he dead yet?” “Is he dead yet?”

Lol, one of my seasonal jobs paid a monthly stipend, and because I was working 12-14 hour days, 6 days a week, I calculated it out to under $3/hour. At least I was getting free housing though.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

The people who believe books will turn your kids gay are about to argue guns don’t kill people and aren’t the “real” problem.
