lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of Andy Richter narrating a Subway commercial

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

Anyway here’s the full article by Arvand Khosravi, which is actually a personal plea to understand what it feels like to be an Iranian American right now www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

Sure dunk on this but it’s the opening ironic lines without context of a personal memoir by an Iranian American about the death & displacement of his people for generations by colonialists, corrupt politicians & religious leaders within. He’s not been able to contact his aunt since the crackdowns.

I wrote about how the war in Iran is affecting public health and the environment for @rollingstone.com

Alt text is so helpful!!!! Everyone should be using it

like clockwork

Friend, some of us remember McCain - a relatively moderate Republican! - in 2008. He even made a song out of it. The North remembers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7s5...

Israel's intentions in south Lebanon are also genocidal, btw.

Proud to see that the JUSTICE FOR HIND RAJAB ACT has been introduced by Welch and Van Hollen in the Senate as well as by Jacobs and Castro in the House. It demands a full federal accounting and investigation, to be reported to Congress, on the murder of innocent civilians in Gaza by the Israelis.

Post about how the iran war was going fantastic aged great btw bsky.app/profile/defe...

Amazing news! TEETH was just selected by The Great Film Club via FilmFreeway.com!

g'night you degenerates

This. It's okay to be upset about indiscriminate bombing for reasons beyond, "Whoa, gas is suddenly so high," but if you can't even put two and two together on that one...

South Lebanon is under threat of total ethnic cleansing

I'm seeing so many shows about Mormon Wives , I'm starting to think they never wanted keep their Lives Secret.

Every dinosaur "documentary" ever made is narrated exactly like this: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: The allosaurus closes in, three tons of razor-sharp teeth and killer muscle, but the biglongasaurus has a secret weapon... ATTENBOROUGH: Its bigness.

"You and everyone you have ever loved being cast into the Cave of Nightmares? It’s hard to hear, but this alone could add as much as $0.25 per gallon."

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

I want a world where the US makes reparations

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society. And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

Los Angeles hive mind, I need your help: My friend needs an assisted living center for her Dad, Culver City area preferred but open to other good facilities. Please @ me with leads!

I really liked this Times piece (by the daughter of Weathermen!) about how critics promised her a different movie from what One Battle After Another delivers. I think she’s largely right. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/o...

Matt is simply the best. I owe so much of who I am as a writer and as a person to him. He’s an endlessly supportive force and his and Judith’s bookstore is a necessary and rich resource.

Reminder that Tehran has a population greater than London, this is not a trivial amount of people we’re talking about here.

So many lives destroyed by this pedophile and and his cronies

Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE. www.reutersconnect.com/item/the-pri...

we are not meant to hear this many stupid people's opinions at once

the world is a flaming barrel of trash and I still have not seen Pillion

Made it to Friday but at what cost

I don't know what to say anymore. I feel sick. Two years of calling my reps about Gaza, they didn't do anything, now they're bombing Iran. Who knows what chaas will happen after the dust settles and the bombing stops.

Anyone want to see Kash Patel fall on his ass while playing hockey?

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Influencer's fleeing Dubai right now.

There are also the lives of a couple of hundred million people in the Middle East, senator.

lol imagine living in a corrupt country where families are powerful political dynasties

So much of the political struggle right now is just trying to let people live their lives and also let them die. We are not endless playthings for the powerful.

I hate that trying to explain this sounds so bonkers that it’s basically impossible to get normal people to understand that it’s actually happening

"We may choose to foreground specific voices, but that choice should be explicit: these are the voices *we* amplify, not *the* voice of the Iranian people." Nazanin Shahrokni for Spectre spectrejournal.com/who-speaks-f...

did you call your reps?

Dear white people For the iranians and arabs in your life, ‘oh man i have no idea what to say… hope your people are all ok’ is totally acceptable and nice to hear

Remember the announcement a few years back that @stephenking was going to have writing residencies at his former home in Maine? They're now open for applications stkfoundation.org/writers-resi...

“I am the son of the guy whose secret police force used to terrorize you, please install me or my friends, for democracy” is an amazing pitch from the shah’s son

i live here and he barely feels like the de jure governor

Exactly.
