The law doesn’t apply to these people, and pretending it does is embarrassing at this point.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

is there a nobel prize for lack of self-awareness

I also know many people on the autistic spectrum who are very sensitive to others, and very kind and polite in social settings. And I think it’s because they’ve had to give a lot of thought to interacting with people, and showing that they care. Neurotypicals haven’t. They take it for granted.

"A war like this has so many moving parts. We must strive never to forget the most important parts at its heart: shipping containers moving through the Strait of Hormuz, revenue moving onto corporations’ balance sheets, and profit moving into CEOs’ offshore bank accounts."

I wrote this some years back and return to it now as a reminder to myself of what's really important in life. If it resonates with you, too, all the better.

This was a very cool find. Managed to snag it for under $25 on eBay and it seems to exist NOWHERE online. Really great, driving early version of “The Drop.”

Interrupting your scroll for a flying pear. In a sailor suit. You’re welcome.

Harry Styles covered Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”!!! Couple this with his Peter Gabriel cover and I neeed him to do a full-on mid-80s new wave album. youtu.be/ZZ7tgBj3r3M

Reminder that this creep is a rapist and should go back to writing what he knows, like Pepe le Pew or something where someone’s dad murders people and gets away with it

we expelled them, blacklisted them, called cops to beat the shit out of them, and deported them. why aren't they protesting again? i'm very smart

Seriously, who the fuck calls themselves a visionary?

"The COVID-19 pandemic at 6 years: Mass death, debilitation and media silence" "The pandemic has killed over 30 million people worldwide, left more than 400 million suffering from Long COVID... It is one of the most catastrophic events in modern history—and it is not over."

The President of the United States wants to sweeten a voter suppression bill with a bit of that sweet, sweet trans genocide. @alyssaur.bsky.social takes on the SAVE act, this morning on Assigned Media. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

#IsmuasMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 10: a song that feels like a memory playing "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" - Spin Doctors I loved this whole album; I pretty much wore out the CD. Many memories of my teen years are attached to this song & album. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWb...

And the VA won't care for them or their widows or orphans if republicans have their way

Imagine having a huge hit show on HBO and it's only the third-highest-rated show you've EP'ed this year. Having Lawrence attached is basically a guarantee your show will be good. I wish Ground Floor would get the second life on streaming it deserves.

Can somebody just do it already?

We need a meaningful labor movement in America, or we're going to see more and more of these cases where even unionized professions just cast protections to the wind and treat their obligations like options. I'm proud of Ben for standing up to this, but it's awful that he had to make that choice.

Say what you will about Jay, but she is solely responsible for Bluesky posts being called skeets.

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site every true posting forum declares forever war against the mods

Weird question for @linkara.bsky.social — was “Crazy Steve” a reference to the Spin Doctors song “Laraby’s Gang?” Deep cut if so.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

"If you draw a moral line mere days into this war, you won’t have to do years of soul-searching to figure out what was obvious from the start."

ReedPop wants to be Coachella but if it doesn’t improve its management, organization and greed it’ll end up being Altamont.

🧵I think it's worth noting that in kids' movies, "gay elements" = same-gendered: -parental hugs -driving kids to soccer -crushes -other cute stuff The issue, then, is that this frames same-gendered love as normal & wholly human & that framing threatens the male supremacy (patriarchy) we live in.

With Pixar's toxicity in discussion again, it's gross to remember that John Lasseter--the man who was ousted from running Pixar over sexual misconduct--is now running Skydance Animation for Trump crony media monopolist David Ellison.

They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

Alan Trustman, Who Wrote ‘Bullitt’ and ‘Thomas Crown Affair,’ Dies at 95 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/m...

A lot of Americans, while still technically alive, have already given their souls over to evil and are completely dead inside

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Any of my entertainment writer friends have something they want to write about JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS (2001)? Entertaining an idea.

The Criterion Channel screened one of my favorite cult classics Josie and the Pussycats last year as a part of a celebration of Parker Posey — they’re doing great work on a lot of different axes and that includes pop films.

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) isn't ironically good or so bad it's good, it's so good that it's good and was written about 20 years ahead of its time.

Josie and the Pussycats still extremely good

Okay, guys. I need some help for an article but I have to be kind of cagey. Any car people out there? Like, the kind of people who can easily identify a rough make and model from a not-great look?

current state of affairs - three new prints at the printers, waiting on new stickers, about to send another zine to the printer - my checking account is a smoking ruin

To say this after bombing a school and killing nearly 200 children is baffling. Admiral Cooper has no credibility and should resign.

Authoritarianism is when your diet consists of people who have written books, right?

Don't worry about ever asking me, either. There's no scenario where I (or most people of my generation) will ever be able to afford to retire!

It's long past time the American left launch a meaningful free speech movement to push back against these bad-faith trolls and religious zealots.

“A vote for the NDP is a vote for funding our community” really should be a message coming from the NDP not the tories. Ah well, free advertising I suppose.

"a guy who believes in Trump's war also believes that being interviewed by Isaac Chotiner will go well for him" is in and of itself a data point against the war

Let's resnoot this at night

If you are a Costco customer, Trump stole your money and won’t give it back.

⚠️ US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say

Conservative MAGA ideologue Matt Schlapp has attempted to justify the killing of more than 100 young girls at an elementary school in southern Iran, by claiming they were saved from religious extremism. trib.al/954INe5
