Graphic Novel Review: HEY, MARY! charmingly explores questions of faith and queer identity Hey, Mary! is brave and honest work that tackles a profound challenge facing many, doing so with stunning comics imagery.

is it spiders

My god, this thread 😬 Each clip is creepier than the last! I don’t know how Ziwe always gets her guests to *utterly debase themselves* but oh how they do 😮

People thinking they’re inventing network television after 10 years of destroying network television, I am going to walk into the fucking ocean.

Not even a year since a CPC government seemed inevitable, Pierre Poilievre has nearly managed to talk and mismanage himself out of a job. I wouldn’t be shocked if Jenni Byrne throws him entirely under the bus by Christmas. (Meanwhile seems like Justin is living a happy life, which is even better)

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

A WBEZ and Sun-Times analysis found Democrat-led states like Illinois have lower murder and violent crime rates than some Republican-led states, along with fewer undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

Harry pleads that "when you're missing a lot of hair on top, and you're sitting under flood lights, you'll take any hat that's available.” I’ll defer to Canadian veterans on any forgiveness yet...

Nancy Pelosi retired just in time

Awful to think that the same people who had houses *bought for them* by the government after WWII later ensured that their descendants today will never afford to buy a home 👇🏼

Oh look, the son of a prominent evangelical pastor and member of Turning Point, USA has been arrested for possession of a massive amount of child porn. Say it with me now: Not a Drag Queen.

Like Bush over Katrina. This is just a perfect encompassment of the daily shame.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

⭐️ The Justin Trudeau Effect ⭐️

THE CELEBRITY TRAITORS finale is a spectacular hour of TV. I actually got a little teary at Nick Mohammed 💔

If white folks let Marjorie Taylor Greene get a redemption arc, that’s it for me. I’m convinced y’all can’t be helped. She wasn’t naive. She wasn’t misguided. She was deeply invested in the hate, chaos, and cruelty she pushed.

Pauline Collins, classic "Doctor Who" actress. RIP. "Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones" episode 3 (1967). #DoctorWho

Liberals: We must always strive to negotiate with Conservatives and meet in the middle, whatever their demands ⚖️ Also Liberals: First Nations? Enjoy your crumbs!

id love to listen to a podcast that's just some semi working comedians complaining extemporaneously about the world and their lives. someone should fill that gap

Shorter Ted Cruz: “I know what I’m saying is foolish toxic bullshit but I’m gonna say it anyway!”

i honest to god don't think these people would've had the guts to just say this a decade ago

Statement issued by Sean Dunn, widely known as the D.C. “Sandwich Man,” following his acquittal.

Don't miss Jeanine Pirro promising Sean Dunn would be sorry in August. youtu.be/6NR1K2drXk8?...

Republicans tried to make sandwich thrower Sean Dunn the criminal of the century. Yet support, fund, and glorify this.

I don’t even need a hypothetical on this one. I was delighted to meet the great Laurie Metcalf and she could *not* get away from me fast enough. Still stings but I cannot blame her 😂

In which I continue to be far more like Jacob than I am actually comfortable with 😂

Bluesky is culturally Philadelphia

Working in DEI, I can confirm that Kat is absolutely right and also “the racial reckoning” did not pan out either. Conservatives freaked out with backlash, liberals ran away from their principles and things are even worse now, especially for women of colour 👇🏼

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

“From the producer of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY” has a real “fool me once, shame on you…” vibe 😬

GLAAD released the 20th edition of its annual Where We Are on TV study today. The study has tracked the presence of LGBTQ characters on primetime scripted broadcast and cable series as well as scripted streaming originals for two decades.

evergreen

This got lost in the scrum about higher profile races, but "Moms for Liberty," an anti-queer hate group that has been infiltrating school boards for the last few years, fielded 32 school board candidates, and lost all 32 elections. People are getting fed up with professional bullies.

Douthat has basically become the ambassador to the NYT for Breitbart nation. Only a matter of time before we get a regular show from him about Black crime and race & IQ studies.

I will never stop being mad that the NYTimes continues to handsomely pay someone to write about American conservatism who was capable of being so obviously and egregiously wrong about it.

No one should engage in any discourse about whether women should work. Any such utterances should be laughed out of the room. That debate is over. Full stop. No further discussion is necessary. What remains are dominative fantasies & I do not consent. The end.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I think of this every time a liberal pundit insists we need to compromise with the right 👇🏼

It's almost like the aggressive attack on trans people was just a pretext for rolling back any kind of gender equality whatsoever

Carney looks like a Trojan horse. But more surprising is how all Liberal MPs just rolled with it, like they had no morals anyway. What's the point of voting if everything is a lie? We need new parties that reflect key issues

'This budget was a chance to build some of that trust. Sadly, it has failed, has failed to meet that moment' says Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

Asked by a journalist, “What, then, about hope?” James Baldwin replied, slowly, “Hope is invented every day.” Elsewhere, he noted, “Hope and its permanent disappointment, that is no contradiction—except if you wish to call life a permanent contradiction.”

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth told a room full of military leaders that beards are no longer acceptable. Why are they are all so obsessed with facial hair now? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Stunned onlookers were overheard asking “Did we die? Is this Hell?"

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"
