RIP Tom Kane So many great performances but Professor Utonium is the best of the best to me. The punchline to this scene has been a part of my lexicon for ages.

There's actually a really interesting history as to why Kobolds are dogmen in Japan, due to early Japanese translations of D&D describing them as having "doglike" snouts, later solidified by art in early Japanese computer RPGs like Wizardry and anime like Record of Lodoss War.

This is probably the most historically illiterate and racist crap that an official in a presidential administration has publicly uttered since...oh I don't know...let's just say a very long time.

You've heard of CEO and idol romances, but what about an esports champion? #dvattra #overwatch

It's good they're quoting scholars here to dismiss the fiction that America was founded as a Christian nation, but you can just read the Constitution yourself. There are only three references to religion in it, all meant to keep it out of government, to avoid conflicts that had rocked Europe.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

If you really can't say "AOC is better than Tucker Carlson," you are on the right-wing. You see a basket of extreme right-wing views from one of Trump's friends and find it compelling. Nothing else you say about your political orientation makes the slightest difference, you're just a right-winger.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

He-Man had reruns in syndication and cable until at least 1990, so the window of who might remember is bigger than you'd think. Plus there were multiple spin-offs, a reboot in 2002, and a sort of renaissance on Netflix since 2001. Since 2018 if you count the She-Ra reboot.

Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”

I assumed the word "million" was accidentally dropped after the subbed note that he was fined "$200" for this but, no, the fine was two hundred dollars. For late disclosures on tens of millions of dollars. A fine of Two. Hundred. Dollars.

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

Cleaning up Orban’s corruption in Hungary is a huge task after he looted their country for years, and it is certainly something we can watch unfold and learn from.

The war with Iran, including the Strait of Hormuz, is a kitchen table issue. We went from Freedom of Navigation for international trade to higher prices and scarcity for everything. We're going to see shortages on oil, dairy, and crops (due to lack of fertilizer) by autumn. Feckless asshat.

she’s in oakland, someone tell interpol

Yes, yes, going back to the days of Louisiana elections before the Voting Rights Act will bring back "fairness" to the system. Yes. Sure.

US Constitution Art 1 Sec 8: Congress shall… have Power to keep quiet about War Operations Powers Act (1973): The president may initiate military operations when he feels like it, and if he does not receive Congressional authorization after 60 days is obligated to change the name of the operation

OUR CULTURE IS BEING DESSICATED BECAUSE THAT GIRL WHO GOT HATCHED FROM A SWAN EGG IS A BLACK BUT GREEKS ARE WHITE EVEN IF THEY ARE FROM SWAN EGGS THAT’S JUST SCIENCE AND THE BATMAN GUY HATES CULTURE AND WHITES AND SCIENCE

The Cohen brothers are ruining Homer's legacy. Odysseus never records a hit song. This is an assault on western culture. I am very smart.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Me. I want this. Homer is already full of divine intervention. The Iliad has gods taking sides during a 10-year war, Herakles' best bud with a magic bow, multiple prophets, and more. It's not too much to ask for some goofy bronze age armor.

I feel like there's a lack of awareness among my fellow white people that no Democratic presidential candidate has won a majority of white voters since the Civil Rights Act passed LBJ underestimated the fallout by several generations

Anti-voting group released a sweeping new “model laws” handbook that urges lawmakers and election officials to restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, conduct mass voter challenges and empower officials to deny/delay certification. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The thing is the attack on the election Tina Peters participated in did result in actual harm, which is ongoing, and she very well might participate in another coup against popular sovereignty before this is all over.

Please let Congress make money trading on inside info while Americans struggle y’all

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

Woman also eat their food with utensils and sit down to go poo, Tim. What a weird way to say you're a filthy animal.

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

My governor has gone full Fetterman, and we have no idea why. We sane people in Colorado would like to apologize for believing this asshole would stick to his beliefs after elected. But now he's leaving so his true colors are showing.🤷‍♂️ Never go full Fetterman...

There's a 13-foot statue of Alex Haley up in HALEY HERITAGE SQUARE in Knoxville. The man has a fucking park named after him, but his arguably most famous work is too much for schools?! The absolute cowardice on display by the school board!

Fun fact: he plays Dionysus on the Disney+ Percy Jackson series and hes been nailing it. 👍

5/16 is Joe Shimamura's birthday so there are some updates about the next Cyborg 009 animation "Cyborg 009: Nemesis". There's now another cyborg team with their own 00 designations, backgrounds and powers. Also, I guess they are impervious to low blows. cyborg009.jp

Racist Weirdos: "Christopher Nolan is disgracing Homer!" Homer if he was alive today and watching the Odyssey in a movie theater: "and how do you make the popped corn taste so richly of the sea and of the cow? what magic empowers this addictive flavor?"

Texas Children's Hospital is a place for healing and the sickos in the state government are forcing it to become a site for harm. Transphobia is a scourge. Transphobes have dead souls.

NPR ON GAZA: “This all used to be homes. Many collapsed into mass graves… more than 73,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli strikes — thousands more still believed to be in the rubble.”

Gandalf the White 🔮 LOTR is probably the thing I’ve read/watched/been obsessed with the most since I was like 6 🗣️ #lotr #gandalf #tolkien #art #fantasy

I suspect that Crawford isn't familiar with the articles of the North Atlantic Treaty.

It's $125 worth of diapers per newborn. Get over yourself. If you want to wax poetic about public benefits flowing through well-connected circles, you're in fucking WASHINGTON, D.C.!

New in PN: The assault on higher ed goes deeper than you think "This is bigger than budget cuts. It’s not just a continuation of things like longtime GOP efforts to cut Pell Grants. It’s a wide-ranging assault designed to drastically limit access to higher ed for all but the rich & well-connected."

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

gestured towards this in my column today but republicans seem to have adopted this idea that the partisan lean of a state represents some mystical General Will such that the south isn't just a place with republican voters It Is Republican and no democrat has a right to serve within its borders

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, greatest Batman movie of all time.

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest. Welcome to Tennessee.

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.
