Black filmmaker Jonte Richardson says he is stepping down as a BAFTA judge:

Waiting for the UK government to show the same moral leadership as *checks notes* Discord

The whole BAFTA situation is such a shitshow Not cutting out the slur when they censored Free Palestine was certainly a choice

So just so we’re clear, America’s Next Top Model facilitated a girl getting raped

CW: sexual assault Watching the Top Model documentary and seeing what happened to Shandi reminded me of how much the narrative in the 2000s was if you got drunk and were assaulted, it was not rape, it was “your own fault” So many people wouldn’t have called it rape or assault, but a “mistake”

The America’s Next Top Model documentary is unlocking so many repressed memories

This is, in all fairness, a pretty brutal throat cutting from Charles, made all the more hilarious by the fact that our Prime Minister, meanwhile, is still walking around saying, “I’m sorry I’m so gullible that I got cruelly taken in by the lies of the most famously corrupt man in British politics.”

Spare a thought of those of us who actually had to try get work done in the U.K. today

There was only a cartoon scorch mark where that reporter stood

fucking your computer is the future. if you're not fucking your computer right now you're gonna miss the revolution. fucking your computer is going to change everything

Jesus fucking Christ there are no words

This season of #ThePitt is breaking my heart

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

They're going to let the only trusted—and trustworthy—part of the BBC die.

Something extremely funny could happen tomorrow

I’m really enjoying #Murderbot so far. Alexander Skarsgård makes a delightfully sassy bot

Throwing dildos at ICE is a special kind of praxis I fully support

RFK Jr is actually the guy at the dodgy pub that you were told to avoid at all costs

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

If you were trying to come up with more harmful guidance towards trans and non-binary young people you would be hard pressed to find it. The fact it is backed by Cass shows how wrong it is. We are already seeing an increase in suicide rates among trans young people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

a reminder that it's free to be kind

Anecdotally, my local dog owner WhatsApp group and local FB group (yes, I'm aware with the problems with Meta) are so much better at finding lost pups than anything else My husband ended up joining the hunt for a lost Whippet, and randomly recruiting some random Uber Eats drivers to the search

we don’t have a Ring camera, we have a guy down the block named Frank who caught and threatened to stab our local package thief. get yourself a Frank

need one of those german train-car noun constructions for ‘the sense of betrayal a woman suffers when a thinker who was hugely influential to her turns out to be the same bog standard worthless misogynist as everyone else’

All right, the Pitt has convinced me, I'm doing an E.R. rewatch Stay tuned for hot takes on a show that's over 30 years old

I’m not very familiar with Bad Bunny’s music but that performance made me an instant fan You don’t need to speak Spanish to grin ear to ear when watching this

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

At times like this I wish I wasn’t an atheist, because hell sounds like a fitting punishment for those monsters

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

The Washington Post but it’s ‘The Traitors’

Anti-trans bigots lie, all the time, about everything.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Substituting an imaginary, fake Trump into the story because writing about the real Trump and his actual actions would be very bad for Trump and not help him:

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I knew that a lot of SVU plots were "ripped from the headlines" but I just saw an episode that is so transparently based on the Gisèle Pelicot case, including paraphrasing her "change must change sides" quote It honestly felt so gross and exploitative

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

At this point, we need a headcount of powerful men who are not pedophiles

did captain picard lead the x-men

Journalism is a great industry to go into if you want to become speedrun becoming a Marxist.

Working theory: If one had a chance to improve society by injecting just one piece of knowledge into every human — so that they truly UNDERSTOOD it, not just knew it on a surface level — "the difference between a million and a billion" would be pretty high in terms of return on investment

The most divorced man in history. I bet he smells like canned onions.

There are some bangers in the Rotten Tomatoes pull quotes for "Melania" reviews but this one is the clear winner:
