It’s wild to read A Tale of Two Cities in 2026.

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

This right here.

Your sex is none of the state's business. They don't get to tell you what it is, and there is literally no reason for sex markers to appear on driver's licenses or any other form of government ID.

While Americans oppose more military aid to Israel, Congress is inserting something even deeper and more insidious into the US military budget (NDAA): US integration with the Israeli military! Tell Congress: Reject Section 224 of the NDAA. No military integration. No weapons and AI partnerships.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

Needless to say F Waymo.

There's a story about the mix for Carpenter's "The Thing". So they're playing back the reel with the Blood Test Scene for Carpenter and the team and as the scene progresses, there's this slowly building rumbling sound... /1

Divide and conquer, scapegoating, they always work with something that sounds to some like a persuasive justification. Fascists cite crime statistics to hate black people. It's also why they associate LGBTQ+ with pedophiles. And they associate the left with wokescolds. Can't judge people.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Looks like Turning Point might be mostly fake, lol. Wonder when the investors will figure that out.

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

Not trying to stir up shit, but I still can’t believe sinners didn’t win best picture, and that other movie did. It’s insane actually.

According to politico 90% of ice detentions are illegal.

Absolutely devastating read. www.them.us/story/slain-...

I feel so incredibly awful for this poor girl and her broken hearted family. I really wish the world were different. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Man, I’m so glad to hear this, it should be banned nationwide and run out of business. Find the Children is this same kind of scam, get’em out a here. Win for the good guys!

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, and we don’t have enough attention to pay to any of it. But the throttling of Cuba by the US should be a bigger story than it is. There are about 10 million people in Cuba, subjected to horrendous collective punishment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

On this day in 1985, the city of Philadelphia went to war against its own citizens. I wrote about it for @teenvogue.com back in 2020: www.teenvogue.com/story/histor...

I think a US president stating intent to murder American citizens is an impeachable offense but what do I know

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

When you’re angry at Ryan Grim, it’s better to say that explicitly than to talk vaguely about “leftists.” That guy does not represent the left. (And yes, he’s extremely wrong about MTG and many other things.)

Plug-in solar systems are designed to be used w/o requiring specialized technicians or construction permits. In Europe, systems like this are wildly popular, especially for renters who do not have permission to install permanent solar panels on their buildings. No pay wall.

This is not basic evangelicalism. This is strictly forbidden in most evangelical denominations, one of the worst sins you can commit, it’s the main reason for split from Catholicism. Most do not allow statues of Christ and worshiping a political leader, used to send you straight to hell.

Happy John Brown’s Birthday to all who celebrate.

Israel is occupying more of Lebanon than Russia is occupying of Ukraine. Israel is destroying every single building, ethnically cleansing the whole place so they can steal it for themselves. Not only is Europe silent on this, it is still sending weapons to make it happen.

Plantiff in Case That Destroyed Voting Rights Act Exposed as Jan. 6er | The New Republic

I love to tell my friends that I’m proud of them. Once we’re re adults it’s rare to hear. And it feels important to share that feeling with people we love.

Every single right, protected piece of land, environmental protection, end to child labor, labor laws etc…. We have is because people who live under a condition that seemed impossible to change, fought hard until it changed. We are the people who will change this course, we choose where it goes.

National Parks exist because people fought to stop logging, mining, and development. These places were protected on purpose.

Hey Dems, the 2024 election was lost a year and a half ago. You can sit on Bluesky posting about how you still blame leftists or whoever, for ruining the election OR You could take some actual action and volunteer to help get people registered to vote and get prepared to help canvass etc…

I know that Israel is committing mass murder in Gaza, the west Bank and now Lebanon. If I know this then our politicians know this so why isn’t there military intervention to prevent crimes against humanity ? How have our morals sunk this low.

Whole world is business as usual as Israel is demolishing WHOLE TOWNS in TWO Countries. History will look back at this horror and ask how the F did they let this atrocious happen. 💔

The cost of groceries is actually absurd. And the fact that corporations can just up the cost and we have no protection, is bs. It’s food

Don't wanna be a constant irritant about this (yes I do) but while the US and Israel make a mess in the Strait of Hormuz, Israel is quietly expanding their war on ME states. Lebanon is on fire. The West Bank is being annexed. It was never about Hamas and I hope that's obvious to EVERYONE now.

If Israel isn’t the definition of a Rogue State, those words have no meaning

The talk about shutting down pro Palestinian marches, has nothing to do with antisemitism. It does however, have everything to do with shutting down any public criticism of the Israeli regime.

There it is. Any questions?

You won't have seen it on the News but right now Israel is destroying 600,000 homes in Lebanon, to move 2m out of 22% of Lebanon, so they can steal it all for themselves. A war crime not seen since Hitler, or Gaza.

They gutted the voters right act today, absolutely demoralizing and disgusting.

86 doesn’t mean kill!? It means take off the menu, I guess billionaires don’t know that since they don’t actually work.
