It really bothers me how the Fair Housing Act, one of the best and most important laws ever passed by this country, is a constant direct target of the right and is taken for granted to the point of being almost completely ignored by much of the left.

Has the Author's Guild considered the fact that authors aren't making as much money because publishers are fucking them over? What is the point of attacking libraries?

The Israeli public in 2026 reminds me of the American public in 2002 and that's not a compliment.

One thing I love about the women in my family is that they've made aging seem cool and fun, so now I just look forward to birthdays like, "One year closer to actually being cool."

this is not true, and this guy doesn't speak for me! nymag.com/intelligence...

THE POPE IS QUOTING GANDALF!!!

I think AI supporters would be less annoying if they also supported UBI for when no one has a job because AI took it.

Most medieval films want to show you heroes. The Green Knight wants to show you fear. I sat down @profgabriele.com to talk Arthurian legend, masculinity, honor, giants, talking foxes, Dev Patel, & why this may be the most honest medieval movie ever made. New episode out now.

$1 billion for Trump's ballroom but nothing for working families. Unbelievable.

Day 2 of my #Coverbirds Birdathon. Godwit Quarterly (GQ) is dedicated to the large, long-billed, long-legged, migratory waders. This issue features the fabulous Marbled Godwit! #birds (1/5)

"I love being a writer," I say as I look up necrotic skin for the short story I'm writing.

Free speech isn’t optional in a democracy.

The fact that more people are realizing that Lolita isn't romantic and wasn't written to be romantic gives me some hope for the future. Not a lot, but some.

Thank you Olivia Rodrigo for releasing another song I can badly serenade to my boyfriend in the car. 🩵

Fighting with the pope, thinking of himself as god, humiliated in a naval war of choice he assumed he would win easily over an "inferior" people, surrounded by kook healers and medical advisors, obsessed with familial legacy in the shadow of an actually successful father, this man is Nicholas II

I'm convinced Trump talking shit about the Pope is a loyalty test for Vance.

Being a magical being who gets to go to a magical world isn't actually fun when the ruler of that world is your grandpa and he wants you to inherit the family generational trauma at the expense of literally everyone else.

I only have the most general knowledge about Catholicism as a religion, and even I know that the Pope is who the Catholics must listen to regardless of their personal opinions.

Happy “Open Your Peeps and Set Them Out to Age Properly Day” to those who celebrate

Notice the difference between the Easter Bunny and the Library Bunny. The Library Bunny has a book in place of an ax. Also, the Easter Bunny is wearing a scarily cheerful smile whereas the Library Bunny's face is serious and seems to be saying "don't disturb me while I'm reading".

Please someone read A Forest Darkly by @angelaslatter.bsky.social then talk to me about it because it's SO GOOD.

Nevermind I watched Alysa Liu and Amber Glenn's figure skating performances.

If this is the “greatest economy in the history of the world,” as Donald Trump claims, God help us.

Did anyone read Wuthering Heights in like 2009 because it was mentioned in Twilight, only to end up disappointed because it was not a love story, but the tale of a man who mcfucking loses it because his crush won't marry him?

You know things are bad when I can't even find it in me to pretend to care about the Winter Olympics.

Its destruction came as Israel said it will ban Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, from operating in Gaza, after the charity refused to provide Israeli authorities a list of its Palestinian staff. MSF currently provides at least 20% of hospital beds in Gaza.

This is fucking horrifying.

Not from me, he’s not. Kind of permanently appalled by how many people in my field have lately been insisting that ‘never again’ only counts for some people, and that the Holocaust is a sacrosanct historical moment from which we must never, ever learn anything.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

A concept: A Minnesota specialty license plate for the 250th anniversary of US independence that reads "We won" over the Virginia battle flag they took during the Civil War.

The Green Knight is a Christmas film so I'm watching that as I knit

As I've said many times throughout this year of Old Blogs, the @archive.org is an AMAZING resource in these times of ephemeral record keeping and broken links - life is going to be difficult enough for Future Archeologists, they're going to need this sort of thing a LOT!

Oh you broke ranks and squandered your politically advantageous position on the government shutdown, and the audacious gambit resulted in the most obvious outcome imaginable? You really are a Democrat.

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

Oh, how I love horror where the colonial greed is why the strange new world has demons, not indigenous practices.

I have a two-step solution to our modern loneliness epidemic: 1. Haul immense stone slabs over long distances to build a Great Temple to Aten; 2. Gather at the Great Temple to Aten.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again
