The New Bev is filled with can’t-miss films throughout July! Share with friends and let us know what you’re most excited to see.

If it seems like they’re trying this, the governor should just appoint someone and force them to produce McConnell. Get creative. Put them on the defensive

Don’t ban kids using YouTube. Make YouTube behave like a broadcaster. Pay creators. Reinvest in the creative industries. Pay fair tax back into creators’ economies. Follow guidelines on fair usage and copyright. Play fair. It’s bigger than TV now. Make it behave like TV.

The Met put its entire collection online for free so I made a game out of it! 10 artifacts a day, and you guess where and when each one's from. Anthropeum.com if anyone wants to give it a shot and leave feedback :) #history #archeology #arthistory #museums

I don’t even follow basketball and I am not from and have never lived in NYC but this thread is genuinely lovely.

multiculturalism is pretty great

God, I hope he crashes out so hard tonight

Elon Musk could give every homeless person in America $1 million and still have $250 BILLION left over

No one earns a trillion dollars.

Cuttlefish have rounded W-shaped pupils because they live in a world of high light contrast (bright above, dim below) & this arrangement acts like a cross-shaped sun visor, normalizing brightness. In darker environments, they become fully rounded. (📷: Steve McNicholas, Flickr)

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

Gas is $6, nobody can afford a house, and we just kicked starving people off SNAP so they now have to pay $8 for cereal. Why are we even doing this at all right now?

Reminder that Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold is behind one of the greatest Halloween tweets of all time:

It’s worth saying this over and over again so we don’t make mistakes like we’ve made in the past — everyone in the DOJ involved in this must be fired, prosecuted, and if relevant disbarred. You could just quit. People have quit.

MAGA types know the reason Talarico makes ‘em so uncomfortable is his Christianity is real & he stands for Christ’s teachings to be reflected in the way we treat all people via public policy. And their Christianity is just ‘say Bible words a lot, but ignore Jesus’ so they can follow Trump. Dat’s it

The same Trump-appointee who fucked with the Broadview 6 grand jury is the one going after E. Jean Carroll.

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

It's so easy to forget that people, even elected officials, can at any moment simply choose to do the right thing.

THE BOROUGHS on Netflix. Good lord, does it hit that sweet spot. I binged the whole thing in 2 days! It nails that Amblin/Spielbergian mix of heart, horror and magic out of the gate and just keeps it going through the entire season. Ugh, and that ending. SO good. Don’t look up spoilers. Just watch.

AND! While I’m here, can I also sing the praises of WIDOW’S BAY? I can’t believe how well they’re threading the tonal needle between humor and horror. It’s like we’re all watching the best high-wire act cross Niagara Falls. I can’t wait to see where they go.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

Nobody Told You To Suffer: On Martin Scorsese's BRINGING OUT THE DEAD

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Having a billion dollars and still being on social media is INSANE. (Yes, I know I am often online. I also do not have a billion dollars.)

BIG: Democrats will control the Michigan state Senate through the remainder of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's term.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

If you're legally banned from running a charity why the fuck can you be allowed to be President it makes no goddam sense

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

The purpose of "good government" policies is to promote democracy. Now, when the Reconstruction Amendments are being perverted by a GOP packed Supreme Court to give license to racism in legislative districting, the good government move is for Democrats to counter-gerrymander, aggressively, and fast

Re: replacing SCOTUS with a rotating panel of lower judges who server temporarily: I would add that one random panel should be in charge of deciding which cases get heard and a different random panel hears the cases. So those who vote to take up a case don't know who will be hearing the case.

i wish movie studios and theaters would be like “hey let’s put HEAT out in theaters for a couple weeks in IMAX and see what happens”

I keep thinking about the ease with which they cancelled elections over the last 24 hours

yeah, so two things. first, i have been saying for some time that *this* is the message. and that it is a broad one that can fit a large number of concerns. and second, this dude has the juice.

I’m going to point out how many people I’ve seen in the last year say that we don’t need to worry about 2028, that a corrupt federal government can’t corrupt state-run elections. You’re wrong and it may be fatal to our democracy if you keep being wrong.

Justice Kagan: "I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.'

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

This:is 💯 correct. The vast majority of Section 2 litigation (and settlements made under the threat of litigation) have been at the local level. Callais will gut minority representation in city councils, county supervisors, and school boards across the county.

when you're not reading the room

he thinks he owns the country and rules us as king

Real “last days of Rome” shit right here…

This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Did you know that THE PHOTONIC EFFECT launches on Tuesday with TWO starred reviews? "Chen shows off his worldbuilding chops in this ingenious 24th-century space opera." Publishers Weekly "A superb sci-fi story about 21st-century issues set in a futuristic space environment" Library Journal

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

We gotta impeach and remove these guys.

NEW: Associated Press projects Democrat wins special election for New Jersey 11th district U.S. House seat.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.
