NASHVILLE — reese witherspoon on what the city is facing…

Remembering today the late 🇺🇸American film director, screenwriter and producer #TobeHooper (25 January 1943 – 26 August 2017) born #OnThisDay in Austin, Texas

My sweet girl Black Kitty passed away this weekend. I want there to be a heaven for pets so she can join her brother and mom. I miss her so much.

all three ladies are in the cat tree today! we get two on there pretty often but all three is unusual. a little hissing but now comfy.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost. time.com/7355839/why-...

If I was an evil billionaire, I would’ve created an app like Twitter and let leftists and liberals fight over each other while republicans continue to win.

The worst part of buying physical copies of movies is having to do research for movies with multiple releases. It shouldn't be too hard but they often like to make later releases worse than what came before.

#throwbackthursday to last April when Cher learned that she likes to play in the river. She tries to jump in now no matter how cold it is outside lol. Goofy little water dog. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

The judgment is real! 🤨 ~ Snowbelle #tbt #bunny #rabbit

She adores this, right up until the point that she squeezes it a little *too* hard and it starts flopping around all over the shop, at which point she shits her proverbial pants and hides under the bed 😂

Today 31 years ago the PS1 was released. In honor of Sony Playstation 1's birthday lets unironically celebrate by rewitnessing the greatest (in my opinion) bit of voice acting speech on the platform from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

It's such a sad thing about human nature - say you absolutely loathed a book and everyone wants to know what it was. Mention a book you loved, recommend it for readers, and the world is a chorus of crickets. Y'all just want to hate on stuff

House Democrats launch probe into government shutdown layoff plans... While investigating agencies' potential plans for employee layoffs, House Democrats are also questioning the legality of RIFs during a government shutdown.

We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads. We broke up the steel companies. We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates. We've done it before. We can do it again.

“Stay in your cars! Tell everyone to stay in your houses.” Illinois state senator Karina Villa out in the street warning folks about ICE

They just openly admit they’re fascist as they quickly kick off any and all dissent from legacy media. The darkness is staring back, folks.

They are literally canceling culture

Seizing passports is terrifying, a big escalation but not unexpected. Get ready next for the Trump government to start using civil forfeiture laws to steal people’s assets. Almost no doubt that’s coming down the pike. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

Trump is terrified of losing the midterms. He sees the unpopularity of his policies and his underwater poll numbers. Expect trump to become more divisive over the coming months as he waves the red hat at his base given any opportunity.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Utah Mike Lee is still in the Senate after joking about the murders of MN State Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark. Meanwhile professors, public employees, and journalists are being fired for saying anything at all about Charlie Kirk thanks to harassment campaigns from Libs of T*kTok & others.

The August jobs numbers are atrocious, with unemployment rising to its highest level in nearly 4 years. Trump is running the economy just like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?feature=shared

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

I just can't help but reflect on Bobby Kennedy's 1968 campaign and how focused and deliberate he was on making vulnerable American lives better and using government as a means to do so. And how what's left of him must be a goddam turbine right now spinning furiously between the grass at Arlington.

Read on Reddit that ICE is doing commercials on television now. Scary stuff

Honestly not surprised. Most down ballot Dems were extremely successful in 2024.

Sad to hear that Graham Greene has died at 73 years old Such an amazing versatile actor with over 188 credits to his name. In addition to writing, producing & soundtrack. He won a Grammy in 2000 for the best spoken word album for children for his work on Listen to the Storyteller. RIP Graham 💔

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler says he won't run for reelection in 2026 https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/york-democratic-rep-jerry-nadler-002734047.html

Hakeem Jeffries is a joke

Pritzker and Newsom showing some backbone. I like it

I'm thinking that Gavin Newsom will be the presumptive nominee for Dems in 2028. If he does this 1) Fight for single payer healthcare 2) Stop Corporate PACs 3) Sanctions on Netanyahu and his cabinet for his role in Gaza 4) Defund ICE He will win

Populism was embraced by Trump. Dems had it with Bernie but chose to stick with run of the mill milquetoast candidates like Hilary. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

100% agree with this

Not great!

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

Sarah: Audrey’s life is just as valuable as any other child’s. Audrey’s life is big. She doesn’t need words to be a good friend—but she does need Medicaid.

If I had said this last year, that Trump would try and deport US citizens in his first year, all Republicans and a nontrivial number of liberals and centrists would have attacked me for behind hyperbolic, and fear-mongering, and of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. And yet:

In his piece, @hiltzikm.bsky.social talks about full time employees of Amazon, Walmart and McDonalds using SNAP and Medicaid. At one time McDonald's coached employees how to file: www.latimes.com/business/sto...

McGovern: "You all know the truth. You know this bill is cruel and will hurt millions of Americans, but Trump wants you to fold. And the sad fact is many of you will fold in a nanosecond. You will vote for this even though you know it's bad for your own constituents. You're absolutely terrified."
