World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.

Ryan Coogler is the first person in history to direct 2 films that have won Best Ensemble at The Actor Awards. • Black Panther (2018) • Sinners (2025) See the full winners list: bit.ly/ActorWins26

I actually do think a lot of white Americans think activism is about yelling people into submission

The world has gone mad.

Yeah even if you don't want to ascribe malicious intent (and I'm not exactly inclined to be that charitable tbh), the fact that he continues to step on Nazi rakes with this frequency is rather alarming.

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

Yeah the prevailing mood is vastly different. I was a HS Freshman at the time of the initial invasion, and the consensus opinion (outside of the most vocal lefties) among normie Democrats was various flavors of tacit approval.

we're gonna find out graham platner's middle name is "adolf" and he's gonna be like haha oh yeah I've been meaning to change that, just found out recently about that other adolf

Israel's systematic attempts to kill the entire Iranian opposition leadership in Iran is indicative of what (some) of us have been saying— Israel doesn't not want to turn the IRI into a democratic republican state, it wants there to be no state. It wants a rubble-state, Gaza or Yemen or worse.

I block people who are annoying in OTHER people’s replies. It’s a hobby at this point. Block hunting.

I know a lot is going on, but I just wanna say everyone looked so beautiful at the NAACP Image Awards in what felt like a clear-throated and visual rebuke of the BAFTAs. Self-regard and self-presentation are powerful.

So apparently hot honey is the latest food fad. I'm seeing it pop up at every damn eatery and fast food joint. And I have to be honest here, that shit stinks.

That door stays closed

Snickers definitely the gold standard. Milky Way is probably my 2nd. Also, peanut butter M&M's have crack in them.

I saved this screenshot of Emily Gallagher talking about why she endorsed Delgado bc it’s such a perfect summary of exactly how Hochul acted in 2022 too. She is a bad governor. We deserve better. And now she has no real reason to constrain her most centrist Republican urges.

1) Yes 2) Yes 3) Eh...I don't want to sound closed minded, but let's just say that my experiences with 2) were incredibly eye-opening in ways that I'm not exactly looking to revisit.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I would sooner jab my ear with an ice pick than listen to Charles Barkley's thoughts on the Lakers

This is an excellent piece and I'm absolutely going to crib "white agitation" for future use because it is the perfect descriptor.

After *three* years, I decided to pick my pen back up and discuss “the BAFTA incident” at length.

I'm not going to quote post because I don't want to dog pile. But when people say, "don't heckle the staff," this isn't 2010. We're not talking about normal people choosing normal govt staffing jobs. This is 2026 where we're kidnapping foreign officials and building concentration camps.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate — but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

The goal *is* the wasteland-ification of much of MENA so that Israel and the Emirates can rule over rubble.

Those who speculate that without IRI the US will finally clamp down on Israel's transgressions in other arenas are deluded beyond comprehension. If one takes the likes of Blinken, Lew, Hochstein and McGurk at their word, which their word is nearly identical to that of Kushner, this will not happen.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Those school girls were soldiers and therefore deserved to be obliterated by a US/Israeli bomb, but also they're not dead but also it'd be good if they were dead

One of the foundational intellectual figures of the modern neoconservative publicly opposing war with Iran is something which would have given college Grant a stroke if you told him.

Israel has closed all the crossings into Gaza and reimposed total siege.

Just a quick reminder that Trump ostensibly launched this war because he was unable to negotiate a deal very much like the one he blew up just to spite Obama.

First of all, don't put my business out in the street like this.

those 85 schoolgirls will never kill again

They read the 1619 Project and were immediately like "I'd rather see the world burn"

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

I mean, you’re not wrong! Shows my friends worked on for years were canceled and then used as tax write-offs.

What Trump has done to schools like Columbia is wrong, but it would be nice if so many of them weren't already garbage fires run by contemptible people with no principles.

There was a joke that @michaelhobbes.bsky.social made on his podcast about supporting Broken Windows theory for the ultra-wealthy. And I unironically think that's actually a legitimate proposal.

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

Zaslav will go down as one of the biggest villains in film & television history. That said: It will be legitimately hilarious if we eventually find out that he pulled the trigger on this deal knowing that it would fall apart entirely.

Huh.

This is on my level. Respect.

Jack Dorsey renamed the company to Block because he thought blockchains would be the future, in case you were wondering what his track record of predicting long-term tech trends is

"Endorsements are unfairly putting your thumb on the scales" is a stupid take that I can generally forgive from people who only partially pay attention to political affairs. But a person who professionally covers politics echoing such a braindead sentiment should probably find a new career imho.

This is accurate and it's become a pattern for a certain brand of journalist who fixates on trans people. I block people who use Bluesky to rage-farm for their X audiences because I like to encourage them to consider getting a life instead

It doesn't help now, today, but: these networks are functionally already irrelevant, and the billionaires will eventually be very angry when their tidy empire fails to drive culture in any meaningful sense, because of, well this? It's the same thing that made Fox News into bullshit show for cranks.

“Fund the police” was a whole Biden applause line in a joint address to Congress...
