*gentle and firm shaking of the screen* hey y'all get this

That Arthur Conan Doyle’s heirs still insisted on Sherlock Holmes and Watson being “only roommates” is very funny, considering how most queer couples discovered in archaeological sites were once considered to be “only roommates”, “just friends” or something like that.

After a judge ordered that his name be removed from the Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump said he has "no interest" in the iconic venue.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

We are "led" by the most unserious, dangerous people. Dude's expression says it all.

notably massachusetts simply added a new top bracket with 4% extra, inflation-indexed what "top bracket" means, and let 'er rip many, many "tax the rich" proposals here on the west coast seem like they're competing to be the earth's cleverest tax and are clearly much worse ideas than this

Call your reps! These book bans are nationwide and specifically anti-trans--and that's bad enough, but it will also be used to justify many more book bans in the future. We know this because history.

Please read this and believe me when I say: if a woman you know says a man tried to strangle her, do everything you can to get them out. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

Just a reminder to everyone out there that strangulation is THE most terrifying red flag out there.

Reading text of a book while listening to the audiobook is gaining steam among online book communities.

Pope Leo XIV calls for stronger regulation and a slower pace of AI advances in a landmark theological document, warning the technology was fueling and normalizing conflict around the world.

it truly is fascinating - albeit in a very sinister way - how Everything Is Gender. it's not like Obama never used the military! but he liked art and books and emotions and women who are smarter than he is, so the GOP coded him as a pussy. "Real Men enjoy killing people" is really baked in there

quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap: And best fictional band album goes to . . . obv Josie and the Pussycats. Three Small Words and Spin Around are masterpieces.

I will accept this crit . . . apropos of everything, fuck donald trump.

Apropos of nothing, fuck donald trump.

"The students did as they had done in practice drills, she said, filing into a corner of the classroom, staying low to avoid windows and making sure the doors were shut and locked. The students remained silent, even as they could hear the shooters banging on doors and trying to open them."

And perhaps my greatest worry: Customised AI-generated podcasts like these have a target audience of one. They destroy the public sphere by isolating us.

I think I might be Roboto . . . Hmmm.

1/ This = how antiblackness, particularly anti-Black female bigotry--aka misogynoir--works. Remember, Helen of Troy was so beautiful that she started a whole war. Having a Black woman cast in such a role makes folks crash out b/c Black women are stereotyped as ugly & strong, unworthy of protection.

this is so chilling and gross at the same time.

I think about how much I . . . and we . . . are under-reacting to this administration. I just feel that we're all drowning in how much is happening. How much corruption. How much theft. How much demolition. How much suffering . . . because of these people. I just can't breathe. I'm drowning.

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

You're trapped in the last TV show you watched, where are you? Oh I'm golden. The Sarah-Jane Adventures lmao. Fun, low-stakes and K-9 is there

Two men were killed as they tried to draw the attention of suspected shooters away from San Diego's largest mosque and into the parking lot, Police Chief Scott Wahl said. https://cnn.it/4fvQdiw

Has any Minnesotan been to a concert at Target field? If I sit in the top tiers (where the tickets are cheapest) will I still have a fairly nice experience?

It does look really great. youtu.be/xjFZqrmFnHI?...

ANYBODY in this country, you say? because several parts of minnesota have people in this country who’ve been victims of weaponization of the federal government 🤔

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

One of the reasons this isn’t a legal settlement is that a settlement of this nature requires transparency. This slush fund does the opposite by allowing for confidentiality.

Every day of Trump 2.0 I think “it can’t get more outrageous than this,” and I am wrong. This slush fund thing is so fucking rancid and unacceptable and I hate the feeling and reality that no politician is going to stop it, or call in Batman or something. This is not a country.

Just watching the Dallas Wings, and commentators said a player’s height was 6’ 7”. Suddenly I realized that not a single one of my 8th graders said 6-7 today. Educators, I think it might be over.

The Supreme Court said Biden couldn't forgive student debt

I would love if we could make the audiobook of my novel a big success as a big fuck you to Unbound/Boundless

This feels like it should be the premise of a YA novel right now

You're trapped in the last TV show you watched, where are you? Ugh. Criminal Record, Apple tv. I don’t know if I can trust Peter Capaldi when he’s not The Doctor, so …

2026 Mood:

Spotify is already sketchy enough without the bad logo rebrand polluting my home screen.

It’s exhausting, and boring.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

When I was a kid in the 1970s the Electric Company on PBS had a dry cleaner who messed up Superman’s uniform and made him Supper Man, so … I guess him. 🤔😅

This is what I've been talking about for years. Ai isn't coming for us writers, directors, or our cast; it's coming for our crews. Right now Ai is entirely investor subsidized. Whether or not this slop tsunami overtakes Hollywood really comes down to whether or not the cost of tokens comes down.

“he’s the kind of guy who would go snorkeling at Pearl Harbor” sounds like a hyperbolic insult you would use to convey that someone was particularly dead inside and the other person would laugh because the premise is obviously so ridiculous and yet!

Welcome to the age of model collapse.
