This is the NUMBER ONE reason that I hate Andy Serkis—on top of being a shit director—he gave ZERO credit to the dozens of VFX artists and animators who made Gollum come to life. Yes, he put on a mocap suit, but that’s just not the end-all-be-all of how that worked/works. He’s a fucking ego-monster.

Update update: holy shit lmao

What I will say is that centrists who lament the way the Democratic Party has changed in the age of Trump & want to get back the way things were before "woke" are at this point a decade out of date (including an entire Democratic presidential administration!) with little hope of recovery

Happy #IndependenceDay, America! 🇺🇸 On this, our 250th Birthday, let’s all celebrate and come together around what this country aspires to be and embrace the principles of Liberty and Justice for all! And then let’s kick the fascist-sympathising GOP the hell out of office in November! #America250

Happy #IndependenceDay We will make it through! 🗽

Its gonna be hot. It could happen today.

Donald Trump is everything our Founding Fathers feared most. An uncontrollable, narcissistic, authoritarian president who acts like a king.

“Fixing their car” = intentionally bypassing emission controls Meanwhile, Trump is currently prosecuting someone for touching a pool

This is literally how I found out Trump pardoned my dipshit coal-rolling cousins. Reality is stranger than fiction and god damn it it's now weirdly close to home just how much this administration is rewarding anti-social chuddery to Own The Libs™

Great day on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus in Grande Prairie!

As I continuously travel the province in our Unity Bus, I am hearing countless stories about what makes our country great. Maple leaf flags and #ForeverCanadian lawn signs are popping up everywhere. Let’s make it Canada Day everyday. We are forever Canadian! #CdnPoli #AbLeg

The ability to recognize the suffering of others and offer assistance is not only honorable, but it will serve you well in many situations, some unexpected. Compassion is a transferable skill.

For those who wanted to see the linguistics panel’s slides: I’ll be posting them to my website cedarbarks.net! Thanks for your patience. Apparently the QR code deactivated after 10 scans because I didn’t pay for it 😭 #AC2026

In the UK, "trump" is another word for fart, so I've started referring to farting as "doing a Donald"- I urge everyone else to start doing this and make it a common turn of phrase.

Expanding the Supreme Court is a moral imperative, not just a political one. Take note, Democratic congressional candidates

Vance says the midterms are big because Republicans are one SCOTUS seat from ending birthright citizenship

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

We know Trump will do everything he can to sabotage the midterms. We'll be ready to counter his dirty tricks and tactics — join our national program to ensure all eligible voters get to cast their ballot and those ballots are counted.

The upcoming Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action honors the legacy of the great John Lewis. On Tuesday, we’ll discuss how you can organize or attend a local event in your community to continue the fight for civil rights, and support one another in exercising our sacred freedom to vote.

"But it makes good business sense to end physical media. And most users are already digital anyway so what's the big deal" OWNERSHIP is the big deal. A fully digital/rental future means you don't actually own what you buy with your money. If they stop support, they take it away.

Over all of this recent new discourse over video games and Sony’s discontinuation of physical media, I’ve been asked what my take is. I stopped buying the big boy consoles when the PS5 came out and it looks like I’m never going back. This digital only future was the final nail for me.

Mamdani: "Therein lies the work of America -- a striving, a bettering, the reaching toward perfection. What a privilege each of us has to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What a responsibility each of us possesses to prove ourselves worthy of all those who came before."

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Four years ago, a coordinated right-wing smear campaign condemned Monticello for "going woke." Bridget Gillespie was working there at the time, and she gives this revelatory inside account of the harassment staff endured and ultimately how the institution buckled. Amazing piece.

LRS: “All-around awful plutocrat issues world’s most obtuse hot take from bespoke, gilded mountain lair” is such a common trope in history that we as a species really need to do away with forever for everyone’s good

Evil, fascist, arguably insane, but lets not leave out: really fucking dumb www.cnn.com/2026/07/02/u...

I can’t tell you how much I am hoping that it becomes an Internet-wide phenomenon comparing Trump’s stupid empty celebration with Anthrocon being a huge awesome party at the same time

If this-this post gets 89 likes: will post-share selfie of man-thing disguise with new-new haircut!

@amras.me @sabithewolf.bsky.social Metaphor after metaphor.

Do you think CNBC or traditional media would have let this slide if Joe Biden gave the same answer about Hunter?

When ICE surges in your community, do you know what to do? Join Indivisible July 9th for the first call in our Immigrant Justice Summer training series, where we'll give you a concrete three-step blueprint for mounting a safe, hyper-local, immigrant-aligned response.

There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026, and it’s up to all of us to protect our neighbors.

The new theonion.info is live. Zoom in and out and play around with it. It is for psychopaths.

So glad to see so many establishment Dems losing. Replacing them with progressives is just as, if not more important as ousting Republicans.

Anyways: happy Gettysburg weekend. It's always an okay time to let slavers attack en masse into a wall of rifles.

The US Presbyterian Church has just voted to divest from Palantir & GE Aerospace; recognize the genocide in Gaza; and call for an arms embargo and boycott of genocide-complicit Israeli companies. Cites Palantir & GE's tech being used by human rights violators like ICE, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.

Trump will try to sabotage the midterms — and he will fail.
