He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.

“The University of Oklahoma’s decision is a deeply troubling violation of academic freedom & due process. The university’s actions are an escalation of far-right efforts to politicize, surveil & discipline instruction, undermining the integrity of higher education.” - Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

@maryltrump.bsky.social: “[Donald Trump] is terrified. He knows his poll numbers are terrible. He knows his policies are unpopular... He knows on some deep level he’s losing his cognitive abilities at an alarming rate”

Over 2 months in NYC courts, churches & safe houses, @hunterw.bsky.social spoke to 50 migrants, activists, ICE agents & lawmakers His Undocumented Underground series dives into the Trump admin's extralegal excesses—and the lengths people are going to fight back talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/life...

I have taken to my bed and I will not arise again until outlets agree to stop publishing the most romance-illiterate takes about the gay hockey show. the gay hockey show is not perfect but oh my God why are every major outlet's negative takes on it so ignorant of what the show is doinggggggg

I keep thinking about this article by @readingtheend.bsky.social and how it unpacks the weird insistence-on-token-heterosexual-romance-plot + refusal-to-take-romance-seriously in mainstream US movies/tv.

Superb reading by Reading the Ending.

Cool how we are smuggling domestic news in over the border from canada and people having to share it on bulletproof hosting providers to stop the government and media owners taking it down

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

Oh Heated Rivalry the cultural phenomenon you are 😌👏 #HeatedRivalry

Here is the song, gays. Lets bring it back to the charts: youtu.be/7G1eLTV89dM?...

What many of you do NOT realize about the incredible ending of the last episode of Heated Rivalry is that the song they played during the dramatic climax was literally on a MIX CD that a guy I was crushed-out on gave me in Los Angeles in 2006.

If the US seizes Greenland, I will never live down the deep shame.

I've read Heated Rivalry four or five times. Yes, this is me bawling at the end of episode 5 of Heated Rivalry.

Christina's World is *chef's kiss*

Oh, CBS, you trash channel. Partially released in the same way that handing someone a stack of blank paper and telling them you'll give them that you will give them the ink later is a partial release.

USAID was not dismantled by accident. It was a deliberate hit job by the Christian right, backed and financed by Heritage Foundation. Strip the language of charity away and what remains is ideology, power, and control.

Making Prohibition Great Again!! www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

MUST READ: DOJ is demanding states surrender their private voter data in the name of election integrity. But its rapidly expanding crusade to seize that data has been riddled with sloppy filings and a growing list of self-inflicted embarrassments that undercut the department’s claim to competence.

You don't need to explain to me, AI-written article.

The director of Death Wish and its sequel made a loser? I'm shocked.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) appears to have pulled a photo containing images of President Donald Trump from the thousands of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein it released Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

I just mailed @rezekjoe.bsky.social recommendations for male-male hockey romance novels, novellas, stories, graphic novels, and webtoons. I've been reading and teaching MM romance fiction for more than a decade--and my favorite works are the MM hockey romances.

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

"The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down, and hurt him."

I laughed when I read this. Every time I think about it I start to laugh.

I am currently editing c.50,000 words of writings unknown to scholars by J.G.A. Pocock on the Second World War, historiography, political ideas, republicanism, and more for publication next year (with all permissions and family blessing). I look forward to sharing in due course.

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES: During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump,... 1/2

Crazy how it went from “fun gay sex show” to “better than I expected from romance” to “wait this show rules for a gay thing” to “one of the best shows of the year” to “a favorite episode of all time” to “the most glorious ending to an episode that I’ve been literally waiting for my whole life.”

WATCH - @rokhanna.bsky.social : “The DOJ’s document dump DOES NOT COMPLY. We are exploring all options.” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse. He wants his depo tape made public - no again. The second strike boat video? - nope. Epstein files law complied with? - not today. Vote on ACA? - maybe next year. Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

This is some really bleak shit, folks. Take a hard look at your president.
