This is why God punished Pokemon to only speak their own names.

We’re about to get ink another drawn out war in the Middle East, aren’t we?

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

... hired a librarian for his research group to help organize citations and support literature searches. The collaboration was hugely helpful. So helpful, in fact, that his colleagues started asking to ‘borrow’ the information specialist for their own projects. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Japanese books have achieved newfound acclaim and popularity in recent years. But only a fraction of what gets published in Japan gets translated into English. Here’s what doesn’t get translated – and why. buff.ly/mhCAlME

The Dixie Chicks deserve an apology. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2bn...

That’s not even an answer you gone off salamander egg

Here’s what stymies me as someone who was a high school athlete… McDonalds was recovery food. It was quick and cheap to go get something to eat there after swimming, running, etc. it’s not a “special” meal. I’m sure even professional athletes still do this even on specialized diets.

Hope they liked the cold left over McDonalds…

To be real, this is what first got me to figure out I’m neurodivergent was the fact that I kept experiencing this on a regular basis and it was always distressing. Someone talked about it on Twitter and it was like I had been hit with a fucking rock that said “BITCH THIS IS YOU!”

What does war do to the people who fight it? Three short works examine loneliness, memory, and the search for meaning.

ICYMI: Signs that restrict entry by age, group makeup, or customer background are no longer rare in Japan. What was once unthinkable in a culture famous for hospitality is now becoming pretty common.

You need to watch this episode of @theabigailthorn.bsky.social's Philosophy Tube, and watch it all the way through. It details just how badly trans people, especially trans kids are being treated and lied about. Do not miss this.

Thinking about the hardest I laughed last week when the literal solution to opening a door during a DnD game was legit wearing a piece of jewelry and not just holding it up to a door. That took us literally five minutes to figure out. I laughed so hard I was inaudible.

ok bedtime .

Aaaand now I genuinely wished Canada kicked our asses.

A stalwart presence in cinema for six decades, Robert Duvall brought a fearsome grace to his roles that made them terrifying, tender and always memorable. Matt Goldberg highlights the Letterboxd community’s love for the actor’s best performances. boxd.it/2ZI

Wait they’ve had to call him in TWICE?

Anyone who ever thought conservatives were "protecting women's sports" did not understand that conservatives actually loathe women's sports.

🐱SUPER CATS & NINJA🥷 Happy 'Cat Day' (ねこの日/ニャンの日 'Neko-no-hi' or 'Nyan-no-hi')!😺🥳 'Meow' in Japanese is 'nya-' (にゃー)... ...as February 22nd (22.2 'ni ni ni') sounds a little like "nya nya nya", the day is devoted to our feline friends. #Kyoto #Japan #ねこの日

Let’s watch: Possession! Cosmic horror and Cold War Germany with Sam Neil all in one! My Letterboxd entry is and will be insufferable, thanks @martindbbrown.bsky.social .

If ai could let my freak flag fly and I would not be censured for it— Lola Montez by Volbeat Try and fucking reenact the Spider Dance on ice— it would be rad as hell!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT?!

On this day in 1942, Executive Order 9066 was signed, forcing over 120,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps. #DayofRemembrance Among the internees were individuals who embraced photography as an important means of artistic expression in the 1920s and 1930s.

… it just occurred to me that I may have actually been around when they shot Last Night In SoHo either stressing about exams or stressing about my dissertation while they were probably shooting the archive scene in the library. Which is wild.

This feels so made up… but there’s a part of me that is almost ready to explode because it isn’t.

ok, yes, I couldn’t wait to share. I also did them as pugachu

Does anyone remember the fact that she also wouldn’t let herself get sworn in unless it was on her father’s Bible? The level of entitlement coming from this bitch is nauseating

Pope Rejects Trump’s “Board of Peace” Invite

Dear lord

The one thing that changed my life for the better was when I learned how to make gyoza. That moment of “oh my god, I can just make my own at home?” Did something for my brain chemistry that I cannot explain.

I was thinking about this when watching Casablanca the other day because a lot of these weirdos claim to worship at the feet of Golden Age Hollywood… but don’t actually watch the films. Or know what some of those films have to say. They just love the Hays Code.

Man of Steel. I’m still mad when I think about it because the pacing felt SUPER rushed and I was actually looking forward to a Superman movie. But no. They just made Batman Jesus In A Colourful Suit. SUPERMAN DOES NOT NEED TO BE AN EDGY MESSIAH, ZACH SNYDER!!!

But no, let’s talk about the fact that AOC stumbled in talking about China @nymag.com and @nytimes.com because that’s such a great use of everyone’s time when POTUS talks like this and has talked like this for a very long time with such confidence.

Very good advice for when you really wanna do a thing, but are afraid. <3

We are saddened to hear of the passing of animator Jane Baer. Her half-century in the field included work on such films as SLEEPING BEAUTY, THE BLACK CAULDRON and WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

No. Nope. Fuck you. FUCK. YOU. You motherfuckers are playing with peoples lives and you don’t get to do this cutesy neokayfabe bullshit to make yourselves seem “serious”. I am so fucking tired of this shit

Banning a neo-Nazi group doesn’t dismantle the network behind it. As Sewell’s NSN dissolves, figures like Mark Collett and Robert Rundo continue to operate within transnational ecosystems built on online propaganda, shared aesthetics, and local chapters that sustain recruitment and radicalization.

That last part is irresponsible. The thing is, yes, Kansas City is a blue dot in a red state… but a lot of us are still very much going to or are living in the red surrounding areas. You don’t get to pretend we don’t hear Trump supporter perspectives all the goddamn time. What a joke this is.

RIP Tom Noonan

You know when you feel like you had a setback day where you feel like any bits of progress you made just got flushed down the toilet and it’s because you did not readily have the answers needed to handle unexpected shit the came your way…? Today is that day and at this rate, I don’t know how to feel

Kansas City, Missouri, became the first major city in the U.S. to repeal its anti-jaywalking ordinance, after research found that tickets were being disproportionately issued to Black men. It’s a full-circle moment, because Kansas City was also the first city to criminalize jaywalking.
