"The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams at us the loudest." -Mon Mothma (Andor)

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

So exhausting..

If you ever wonder if society has made any sort of progress, my son was just very confused about why the bar in Star Trek was smoky inside

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

i'm glad this bee likes the bee balm i grew for him but do you think bees get embarrassed going to bee balm? do they think it's cliche? i bet he's mad i took his picture doing this

I already thought this pencil portrait Jack Kirby did of his wife Roz was great but then I read the caption: "A drawing of Mrs. Kirby done, from memory, on the back of a piece of German stationery picked up off a dead enemy soldier." DAAAAMMMMNNN!

Cincinnati suddenly being in the culture wars for some inexplicable reason

It was a pretty gutsy move to reveal in the Fantastic Four post credits scene that Doctor Doom's new catchphrase is "I'm the Hamburglar and I was never caught" I'm hearing he says that in every scene of Avengers Doomsday

I don’t think it’s bad exactly and I know they had to get Han back but the entire first part of Return of the Jedi with Jabba really seems like “the gang does something to pass the time before we start the plot of the movie”

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think people should just say the sappy shit more often.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Why would anyone give a fuck what some random guy from Chicago thinks

This is the only content i wanna see

*Twin Peaks theme*

I do think the experience of lockdown forced every single person alive to confront some piece of themselves they didn't really want to think about, no matter how minor, and a lot of people just could not fucking handle it.

THIS IS THE THING, y'all. Trans and queer JOY even in these hard times. I'm clinging to it because it means SO MUCH to not be broken by the world right now. WE ARE STRONGER THAN HATRED.

NEW: We're asking a court to expand our clients' recent legal victory to ensure that all transgender, non-binary, and intersex people can be issued passports with the correct gender marker.

She worked so hard. I’m so proud of her.
