A group of nonprofits filed a lawsuit in federal court today against the Trump administration, arguing that its decision to remove the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan this month violated a federal law that allows national parks and monuments to fly Confederate flags.

This is very cool. Important note: "The surgery typically costs around $700 and many insurance plans cover it, including MassHealth, the nonprofit said. Planned Parenthood said it also sometimes offers discounts or sliding scale pay options."

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Oh, damn.

The thought of those miserble people watching Kid Rock while missing this great spectacle warms my heart LOL

I don’t call myself an artist or a cartoonist or anything because I can’t draw or tell a joke in a visual format. so why should someone who types some bulllshit into chatgpt get to call themselves an artist or a writer or anything

We used to call these sort of people dilettantes. its not gatekeeping to suggest that someone show creativity in an artistic field to be considered an artist

People who need AI to make art think that being creative is a skill issue and they could do it themselves if like, pretending to code wasnt more important

I made a discord server to help strengthen the art and music community in puzzle hunts! Join if you make stuff, need artists, or if you just like art in puzzle hunts in general: discord.gg/sdrGUFM5y

I haven’t used Microsoft’s office suite in about 3 years and cancelled it a long time ago but just got charged for it. So I go to support and have to demonstrate that I’m not a robot and this is the test

WOW!! Democrat and machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet won the special election Saturday to represent a deeply red Texas Senate district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Rehmet won 57% to 43%. People are angry at Trump and GOP!

Plenty of good tickets still available for MELANIA on Friday night in Boston

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

People act like pronouns are confusing but will go out to eat at a place called Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Just finished the nametag artwork for this year's MIT Mystery Hunt. Palindrome's team name for 2026 is ... Eel-Emu Melee! And let's all recognize our hard working Australian team members who keep solving puzzles throughout the night while we're snoozing stateside. #mysteryhunt

Every installment of this MTG rehabilitation tour feels like “Nice Scorpion Regrets Past Stings, Needs Help With River Crossing!”

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Mummy Joe has a sweet little Dear Santa story to tell

they labeled him like a specimen in a zoo for aging primates

Oof. He was truly a master, from Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern to Arcadia to Leopoldstadt—just a lifetime of tremendous, thought-provoking, hilarious work. RIP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I used to live a few blocks away from Elizabeth Warren in Cambridge, and I can personally confirm that they give out full-size candy bars on Halloween.

A rare happy story: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has restored its holdings of the works of the enslaved potter David Drake to his descendants, following the pattern of Holocaust art restitution, the first time a museum has restored a work produced by an enslaved person.

I read this reporting on the ICE fitness tests that Kristi Noem’s agents are “athletically allergic” to and failing at record rates. Made it my cardio closer after my lift tonight. Did the whole thing ~combined~ in 12 minutes. IMMIGRANTS make America great. 💙

That's gonna leave a mark.

It's time! STILT-ZINE — the world's greatest zine entirely about the Marvel villain known as Stilt-Man — is now up for order! Want a copy? Order soon because inventory is limited! More folks picked one up at NYCC than I expected!

Boston looks forward to welcoming the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.

My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

this (from @danpfeiffer.bsky.social) is excellent. voters always blame the controlling party for shutdowns, and that's even when the guy in charge ISN'T historically unpopular.

Donald Trump and his goons are talking tough, but they are losing the shutdown fight (and they know it) www.messageboxnews.com/p/donald-tru...

Did you know the voice of Disney's Prince Charming was gay? Neither did I, but according to this biography of actor Charles Laughton, Laughton and the actor Bill Phipps were having a not-apparently-secret affair during the making of Cinderella. Good for them!
