Viola Davis is producing a movie of the afro-fantasy series THE UNTAMED, published by Stranger Comics. (No word on any involvement from Amandla Stenberg, who co-wrote the spin-off NIOBE, though.)

i’m gonna go step outside and take the longest, most dramatic drag off a cigarette anyone’s ever taken.

A side effect of so many influencers being LDS is that one of the past presidents of the church (and a US Secretary of Agriculture) wrote a foreword to "The Naked Capitalist" by Skousen and that book references the Protocols. It's not explicitly agreeing with them, but it doesn't exactly push back

bad news about weather conditions

Honestly I stopped paying attention to the Olympics after this because it was never getting better

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

ADOPTEES HAVE BEEN SCREAMING THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN NOW AND HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS AND NOBODY EVER LISTENS. IF YOU ALL CARED ABOUT REFORMING THE ADOPTION SYSTEM AT ALL THIS WOULD NOT BE LEGALLY POSSIBLE. 🥚

Why are men?

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

The only tools in the centrist toolbox are “tax breaks” and “whatever the Republicans said, but slightly less”. Neither of those can solve this problem where a hostile army is kidnapping people off the streets. Third Way’s cowardice got us here. Now it is time for courage.

This is disgusting. All of these people who negotiated with ICE and told no one what they did need to be removed from office.

Genuine huh? My very Indian ass uses a rice cooker and so does my mom? (We also use pressure cookers but they’re less proficient.)

Maura Healey desperately needs a primary

I was disappointed to read Cory Doctorow's post where he got weirdly defensive about his LLM use and started arguing with an imaginary foe. @tante.cc has a very thoughtful reply here: tante.cc/2026/02/20/a... A few further comments, 🧵>>

Quesadillas are just a socially acceptable way to eat a fistful of shredded cheese

The only immigrant I support sending back where he came from, ideally directly to Julius Malema’s doorstep.

bitch it was cool

this is the greatest day of 2026 so far

GOP SCOTUS first explicitly applied "major questions" in 2022 and it's already in shambles. Roberts & Barrett struggle to explain why it exists; Gorsuch's extremist version is untethered from reality; Thomas's "core" is invented out of thin air; Kavanaugh & Alito essentially admit it's Calvinball.

Why does a Moon-rock taste better than an Earth-rock? Because it's a little meteor.

Astonishing piece of cool news from the hellsite: Alysa Liu was at the UCLA Palestine encampment in 2024!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

This really reads like "My momma liked him, I never did. Fuck him and everything about him."

Probably when my wife texted me that she was cheating on me while I was watching Incredibles 2

How do we find beauty in a broken world? This is the question that Ganavya's music asks, but lets you answer. At the Tiny Desk, she sings the poems of today in the language of today. n.pr/4tINXJk

i regret to inform you that this is basically the average indian-american experience

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

don't mind me, just making finishing touches on my “End WEXMAC TITUS now!” sign

Every story out of Dilley makes me think of Rep. McIver asking DHS officials: "Do you think you're going to hell?"

The headline doesn't even begin to describe how wildly unethical the background of this story is, which is that the survivor only shared the story with one person- her psychiatrist- who is Kamel Doud's wife

Lawful Evil is the funniest alignment. Nothing Le Wacky Wholesome Chungus Chaotic Good bard does will ever be as funny as the guards in Morrowind asking you if you have a license for that murder then pleasantly apologizing for holding you up when you produce said license.

whether these people brought their moral rot with them or were infested with it by the organization doesn't really matter. a question for historians and memoirists. what matters is the rot, and that we remove it

Easier to see how it's not your problem when you look at it that way

Everyone out there yelling at people to vote for Gavin Newsom in 2028 is just trying to browbeat you into managing their anxiety for them

Mohsen Mahdawi will stay in the United States!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't draw to save my life and I'd like to change that. Looking to sign up for some classes. Wish me luck!

These are some of my favorite rocks I’ve collected since summer. No real requisite to make the drawer o’ favorites, just have to be pretty, unique, weird, smooth, or intersting.

Many of us are not bothering to engage in pointless, inflammatory, and polarizing discourse before candidacies have even been announced. Primaries exist for a reason.

105/150 ty all very much, the insurance is covered. anything else will be going to cat food gas and human food . pp/vnm megagarbage ty if you are able, it's ok if you're not.
