Jude Law, best known as the little twink that utterly destroyed Kevin Spacey's life in Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil

I think my favorite answer is from my Ailil Sidhe. He doesn't believe in lying. Because the truth is so much more painful.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks. On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

it's weird that a clown car full of freaks like stephen miller and jd vance feeding the populace a strict diet of state violence, austerity, and cringe are not getting more popular. bread and circus but there's no bread and the circus is one sclerotic monkey vomiting on his balls

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Why not just link to the blog post? officialdavidcross.com/blogs/press/...

Nobody who joins ICE has ever had friends, enjoyed sex, or made another person happy in any way. They’re miserable bastards and they only want to spread their misery, to offload it. They will fail at this, too. Their misery will just get worse. I have scientific proof of this.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

"Right now, the most important thing is for us to come together as Americans and stop listening to those voices who would push us apart. That is why asking me to stop beating you with this sock full of quarters will only further divide our nation." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ask...

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

As someone who has worked helping the public for ages, whether in a customer service area, or in a medical field, the problem is old cishet white men with attitude. I think banning old cishet white men will solve the majority of our problems.

A local small queer org is hosting a screening for the intersex movie Ponyboi as a fundraiser, and is asking people to "pay forward" cost of tickets. Help support queer film and a grassroots queer organization! gathr.com/events/e6b52...

There might be some confusion over what "Free Speech" means at the moment, so here are some helpful FCC guidelines for Late Night hosts. My latest on @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/upd...

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

this one's still up in the air, and i'd like to think california's laws are much stronger on this front, but as a side note the last bullet point is why i answer that i'm cishet white woman on any form that ever asks in a workplace lmfao

Trump is posthumously awarding Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Vance flew his casket on Air Force 2. A memorial is happening at The Kennedy Center. State Dept and Pentagon are taking steps to prevent criticism of Kirk. This is NOT normal treatment for an extremist. It’s a message.

There are right wingers boasting about how they're getting people fired for saying what Charlie Kirk said. This is the stupidest timeline.

honey, what's wrong, you've hardly touched your festive fall gendered butt wipes

40 years ago, musicians faced off against a Washington committee over whether to warn parents about explicit lyrics.

OH WOW IT'S SO WEIRD ALL THE ACCOUNTS WITH NO NAME OR INDIVIDUAL PROFILE PICS SHUT UP AFTER THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS A CISHET WHITE DUDE RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

‼️UPDATE: Fellow trans journalist maia arson crimew (@crimew.gay) has also been banned from Bluesky following a post saying "rest in fucking piss" with an image of the Nathan Grayson tweet at the top of this thread. maia told me it will try to appeal the unjust ban after a good nights sleep.

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

One time, long long ago, I drew a picture of Llewellyn making “bunny ears” behind Richard Nixon’s head. A reader chastised me about “speaking ill of the dead.” This annoyed me, and I was like 22, so I replied “you’re right. I will never speak ill of the dead again. Boy, that Hitler was efficient.”

Once again, Teen Vogue out here committing actual journalism.

The best advice I can possibly think of is to live your life so that when you die, people are sad.

"He reviled, belittled, and demeaned large numbers of my fellow Americans, but he was quite cordial to me" sets my teeth on edge.

Far-right political activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. Here's what you need to know about the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA's background and views Content warning: This story refers to a viral, violent video of a shooting.

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

If you're mad at me for saying I won't mourn Charlie Kirk you should unfollow me fast before Trump dies.

An alarming number of people in positions of power seem to be completely unable to distinguish good from evil as long as the evil is spoken in a reasonable tone of voice by a white man in a suit

REMINDER: Two days ago, Donald Trump was posting jokes about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

It's my birthday!! I'm 49 - how did that happen? I would LOVE it if you could share or follow my art for my birthday, that would be a brilliant gift! Thank you everyone who follows and comments, it is such a great place here! 49 feels ace btw. #artshare #birthday #watercolour www.emilyhare.co.uk

Threaten me with a good time why don't ya?

Crazy to think that if that historic street fighter battle had gone differently it would have been called Ryutucky.

The Casino scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi was extremely important to the narrative. It featured betrayal, and the characters just being wrong. Our heroes need to be flawed to be important. Rose was one of the most important characters in that trilogy and Abrams fucked her over for toxic fans.
