Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet. After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

This is not behavior that a healthy democracy tolerates from its judiciary. slate.trib.al/DzLD93Y

Highly normal. Nothing to see here, folks.

the court is a solvable problem if they have the courage

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

In Hades 2, bones are literally their money. No word on the worms.

“For the large majority [of the Harper’s Letter signatories,] Trump’s reign of terror has apparently been less objectionable than the irritating undergraduate and entry-level scolds of the 2010s.”

President Donald Trump said licensed television networks are "not allowed to" criticize him, suggesting that the federal government could take their licenses away.

New story up today at @dishsoapquart.bsky.social! This is another one that started life in @megpokrass.bsky.social's fantastic workshops. Many thanks to Zoe and Aster for saying yes to this one and their thoughtful feedback.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I offered a few thoughts about the Charlie Kirk assassination, the continued background hum of political violence in America, and what's different today: the neverending effort to define political enemies through violent acts attributed to all of them. prospect.org/politics/202...

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

I’m reading the Fort Bragg Cartel and was incredibly disappointed to see the author, Seth Harp, describe COVID-19 as “a highly contagious respiratory disease that escaped from a U.S.-funded biolab in Wuhhan, China.” As a reader I’m thus forced to call all of his other claims into question.

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

“Heal Palestine…they’ve managed to secure 70 kids in 22 months.There are 5,000 kids on this list right now, Ryan.” — Thaer Ahmad said this morning the US State Dept is “committing these [children] to death sentences” by suspending medical evacuations of wounded Palestinian children to US hospitals.

“Anyone who believed that government censorship of internet speech would stop with adult content was profoundly naïve. Had the mainstream tech industry taken the threat against us seriously rather than argue that our speech was less worthy of protection, we might not be in this situation.”

Millions will suffer from Donald Trump and Elon Musk's callous Social Security cuts. All so that billionaires can thrive. These are benefits Americans have earned and deserve. We need to pass @sanders.senate.gov's Keep Billionaires Out of Social Security Act now.

Happy 75th birthday to "The Far Side" creator Gary Larson, who was born on August 14, 1950.

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

I genuinely think we should be asking the politicians who have suddenly found god on the question of genocide whether they will advocate for the kids who lost their goddamn diplomas and jobs for saying what they now agree with

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

If I ever have to perform CPR I’m definitely going to say, “Come on come on. Stay with me.”
