What's striking, again, is the asymmetry between how SCOTUS treated Alabama's redraw, & how Florida judges are shrugging away their state constitution, and what happened in Virginia.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

One more firing at 60 Minutes: Several news outlets have reported star correspondent Scott Pelley was fired by new leadership after openly clashing w/new bosses at Monday meeting. Interesting that they're not trying to win over people who oppose them at CBS, they're just firing them. loom.ly/ZmR8qmA

For those who want to see an encouraging story about journalism, YouTube is offering free access to Spotlight, the 2015 film on how investigative journalists at the Boston Globe exposed the Catholic Church's history of covering up instances when priests abused young people. WATCH: loom.ly/ZJk2t2M

Happy #PrideMonth! ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 #NOH8

Sunday Matinee, “Hangmen Also Die”. About the assassination of the butcher Heydrich and its aftermath, but with a noir thriller aesthetic. Kind of suprising it was made less than a year after the assassination.

This evening’s feature, “The Lady Vanishes.” Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and one I’ve not seen before.

ALL OF US. Lord.

Trump’s refusal to release any of his medical records has reporters wondering just what it is that Joe Biden is hiding

Nearly five decades after first broadcasting from a one-room cottage rented for $1 a year, KGNU has opened a new $9 million downtown #Boulder media center aimed at expanding community participation, youth engagement and independent journalism. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/05/24/k...

Dear Everyone, but especially journalists, please stop using “hallucinations” to describe A.I. errors. Call them mistakes, errors, etc. Using hallucination anthropomorphizes something that isn’t human and feels like we should be understanding and forgiving. A.I. is not human, so no need to forgive.

Today’s Sunday Matinee, “Night Train to Munich.” Featuring a young Rex Harrison! Hadn’t heard of this one until Tubi suggested it.

In reducing Tina Peters’ sentence, Jared Polis taught us where arrogance leads via @coloradosun.com coloradosun.com/2026/05/17/t...

Everyday further down this administration sinks. Waiting for the Trump rave at Arlington National Cemetery.

So disappointed in my governor.

Will just reiterate that in the many years I covered Polis closely, he never showed particular interest in the topic of over-sentencing, nor in criminal justice reform generally. This decision would read a lot differently if Polis had any sort of record as an advocate for clemency.

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

What happened at the Supreme Court is about anti-Blackness and curtailing Black political power. Trump as a corrective to Obama. Anti CRT/ DEI as a corrective to Black Lives Matter and Black progress in education and the workforce. Anti-Blackness is America’s favorite manner of self-harm.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

Every few days I think about how so much of this nonsense could have been avoided if Al Gore was elected president.

What Corporate media refuses to note is that a gunman getting into a venue where the President and VP are sitting on the dais is a MASSIVE security failure by the Trump regime. But if they report it was a Trump failure then Trump takes away their access.

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

Lol no. A game of Uno ends when someone has to pick up half that deck and friendships lie in ruin.

Georgia's women's tennis team is the new Waldo and whatnot.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

We asked our dogs, "how do you feel about our volunteers?" and they were nothing but smiles! Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! 💕

Voyager 1 has had another instrument shutdown. On Friday, the team at JPL sent the command to shut off of the low energy charged particle instrument. That means that there are now only two operational science instruments on the spacecraft. science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyage...

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

The Uk needs a version of Hot Ones but for desi food called Curried which is hosted by Tim Curry, there you go, I just made your network eleventy billion dollars

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

This goes out to all The Pitt fans tonight.

Show MAGA this since they claim to be Christian. “We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing, all-powerful God, who creates faulty humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes,”-Gene Rodenberry

We know who this definitely isn’t!

No. The 2020 election was not rigged or stolen from Trump. These lies aren’t just a tantrum because his ego is bruised from losing—they undermine our free & fair elections and are a threat to our democracy. Oh, and didn't Fox News have to pay $787 million for spreading these lies?

CARDINAL CUPICH: “We’re dehumanizing victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children and our own soldiers into entertainment. It’s sickening.” No wonder Trump lashed out at the Pope today.

Yep, this entire thread! 💯

Rachel Zegler singing "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" at the Oliviers.

I will note: In my experience, it is exceedingly rare for the USCCB to put out a statement this soon after a spontaneous, unplanned thing occurs.

Why is he healing Jeffrey Epstein?

If T and his followers keep it up, this agnostic might just become a Catholic.
