oh my god he was rooting for Cersei?!

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Love Island? the place that Odysseus tied himself to a mast to avoid?

ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy likes the idea of a Kleya and Vel ‘Nazi hunters’ spin-off series in which the duo hunt after former Imperials following the fall of the Empire with the assistance of Dedra Meero in a Hannibal Lector-esque role. (Source: youtu.be/mGBXFWvPRsE?...)

I mean it was obvious what the birthday card was before the image was circulated but goddamn seeing it makes it so unmistakable as to what it represents: a high five between pedophiles over their bond of loving pedophilia and doing pedophile shit together. grim

"We cannot wait to work with you as we journey together, but we also want to clarify that we mean real, actual money and not allegorical discussions on the concept of fiat currency."

"Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah"

In which we talk about Wyman making use of everyone’s prejudice and fatphobia, as one of the best players in the game. And we get to quote some of the most badass dialogue in the series as we discuss the Manderlys being dramatic and loyal as hell. Also look at this AWESOME art Hanieh did for us! 💙
