For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

Edward Cullen's name, if she wrote Twilight.

Rest in peace to one of cinema’s most outstanding artists; the legendary actor Sam Neill (1947–2026)

We did not agree on every issue. But today, we all mourn the passing of a leader who provided a lot to the community.

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

I know a lot of y'all are unfamiliar with Great Comet but I feel like I have to share the "NATALIE NATALIE NATALIE" moment because I think about it so goddamn often

I deserve some sort of award because a guy next to me on the elevator said to his friend "what's it called when someone falls in love with their captor?" And his friend was like "munchausen syndrome?" And the guy was like "right yes!" And I said nothing

Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends Then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is

We know they are indecent and power hungry and fine with being complicit. But to see them all shrug while the president does some kind of weird, war crime riddled social media negotiations, is a horror. No one’s going to stop him? Not enough self-preservation to step in?

After 15+ years of observation, I have reached a conclusion about social media interactions: It is far more painful to be willfully misunderstood by a handful of almost-allies than to be screamed at by a hundred frothing enemies.

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months. Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

The best quotes from the article:

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

sometimes i wonder if my life would be easier if i weren't on the spectrum, but then a content creator i like drops a 2 hour+ video. i could coast off the dopamine for days. who needs to maintain eye contact without a headache anyway. overrated. tell me how foucault relates to sweeney todd, king

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills. This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history. If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What causes me despair? Life-long GOP voters in my family who are almost completely divorced from reality, have no fixed principles beyond R=good, D=bad, and live in a state of constant fear, anger, and racist resentment. What gives me hope? Everyday folks in MN and elsewhere fighting back.

finally, we're living through precedented times

Putting Elon Musk on the cover of a magazine for anything other than “his illegal government funding cuts have already killed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly children” is propaganda

this has become a very important video to me

(to the tune of Eleanor Rigby) 🎶socialist muslim🎶

The Queens Daily Eagle remains undefeated.

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

AO3 is also down, so between the two our whole acronym is affected

The idea that “the civil rights act was a mistake” is a mainstream conservative position we can only tolerate but “defund the police” is a great cancer that must be excised from America for Democrats to win is the actual reason Democrats lose. Sorry.

there are a lot of memes about how we must have slipped into an alternate timeline and everything's gone to shit and nothing makes sense anymore. but it's really not that complicated. people started voting for Republicans and now the world is worse

thinking about alternate veilguard endings where a dwarf rook can connect to a titan and lock themself in the fade to soothe the blight ... im feeling real Emotional these days about the titans healing as an act of love rather than atonement

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

incredible that mainstream media keeps announcing that the story they "missed" during the election was biden's age, even though it got constant coverage for years, and not "donald trump was close friends with notorious pedophile jeffrey epstein"

Elect a Republican, start a war. Every Republican president since i was a child has started a new war.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I want to talk about how the media is going to be responsible for increasing levels of violence. Here's the thing: the protests have been peaceful.

These two dudes are good - and I love that they actually seem to like each other. Rank 'em first and second. You pick the order. #NoCuomo #NeverCuomo

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

The right, with the enthusiastic help of the mainstream media, forced several previously obscure issues (trans high school sports?!) into the spotlight during the election. That same alliance will decide whether the Trump/Musk fight stays in the news, and how it's covered. That's how it works.

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵
