It's #PrideMonth again, and as I say every year, I have nothing but love, respect, & support for all my family, friends & mutuals who fall under the wide LGBTQ umbrella. Anyone who wishes death on anyone just for being an "abnormal" gender/sexuality can have a cactus shoved up their asshole. 🖕 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

The USA and Palestine have both been ethnically cleansed of their native populations.

Current mood.

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!

If you were not blaming the immigrants, the disabled people, the pensioners, the unemployed... You'd be blaming the billionaires who actually cause ALL the problems. Which is why they work 24/7 to keep you blaming everyone else.

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

The second best Stephen Colbert TV appearance this week was the night after his last The Late Show. On the tiny Michigan public access TV “Only In Monroe”, Colbert did his stuff with no studio audience and no budget. Jack White was excellent value as a straight man too. youtu.be/Q2x36ss85fI?...

Terry Pratchett bears witness at the American Visionary Art Museum.

What the government is doing to trans people is a society-wide version of Section 28. It is a level of bureaucratic cruelty that utterly decimates a whole group of people’s rights and puts anyone who doesn’t ‘look’ right in the eyes of others under constant surveillance. It’s a horrific thing.

Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable if your weekend plans consist of nothing other than reading a good book, drinking multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of chocolate croissants.

She sounded so extraordinary. Atmospheric sciences major with minors in music and philosophy. Gifted singer. Kind. It wouldn’t have been any less tragic had she been utterly ordinary but my god, what a light that man took from the world. I’m so sorry, Juniper.

This is an extraordinary essay which really ought to have been published in a mainstream outlet. But please, share the hell out of it.

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

A ‚Heat Pump‘ Café. Clever and important idea, given that energy disinformation is now likely to cause more damage - in tons of GHG - than climate disinformation does.

The last time LUFC played in a zero pressure, low stakes game at the end of the season, Marcelo Bielsa was still in charge. After five long, exhausting years, the prospect of getting three of them to end this campaign hits like crack!* *Though I’d love us to batter Spurs.

Hungary is celebrating! Congratulations! Zsolt Hegedüs, a candidate for the position of Minister of Health, and an excellent dancer too 🔥. When peace comes to #Ukraine, I hope I’ll post a similar video myself.
