You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

fic writers breathe new life into the source, exploring what-ifs, missing moments, and deeper emotions beyond canon through character studies, worldbuilding, and full narratives. the amount of imagination and heart invested, just for the joy of sharing, deserves MUCH more credit than y'all give.

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

One of the most annoying parts of Gilded Age 2 is how bad they want us to take rich people seriously, even when they say shit like “I don’t think” or “you should feed your whole brain into the computer so I can sell it back to you”

looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles

just can’t imagine why there’s a male loneliness epidemic

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

Nostalgia is a weapon. You don’t miss the early 2000s, you miss being a stupid child. You want to be stupid again. You want your parents to take care of you. You are 12.

When people tell you who they are for the four hundred millionth time, believe them. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

he’s so close to getting it

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off. Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering. Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

I hope France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Sweden defeat the US so thoroughly that we’re left with nothing but universal healthcare and harsh environmental regulations afterward

Auto worker named TJ should already be polling at 20% in the Dem Primary for 2028

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

INCOMING TL CLEANSE!!!

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

dumb nazi bitch lmao 😂

Fellas, is it gay to not want broken bones?

Wearing YakTrax is so beta, amiright?

Spider-Man saves Loki? 🤔

Republicans ban books for fear a fifteen-year-old might read The Bluest Eye. Meanwhile, the GOP's biggest donor has built an international salad shooter of child porn and Nazi propaganda, and Republicans are silent.

That font should never be used for anything else

Welcome to capex-by-blackmail. “.. They’re saying, ‘you gotta go in if you want to play and get reimbursed,’” said one industry official .. “But the infrastructure .. is so dilapidated that no one .. can adequately assess what is needed to make it operable.” #OOTT www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

one side wants to forgive student loan debt. the other wants to raid your bank account. we are not the same.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.

All of this thread. I understand the self interest that AI salesmen have to push their product, but the grasping way they’re doing it — the internet version of a traveling salesmen putting his foot in the door so you can’t close it — is only going to drive more people away.

This is my favorite version of the AI push — we don’t have any real ideas for how you should use it, but it’s not going anywhere, so you had better figure out a use for it and then start using it quick! Uh, no. I don’t think I will.

Scientists: Have you found a new variety of hairless moles? A new slime mold strain and are struggling with a name?

Fox News' host presses Howard Lutnick over Trump's claim that he is cutting pharmaceutical prices by more than 100%: “If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by 400% or 500%…the drug companies are actually paying you to take their products.”

It’s the Kennedy Center. Just like it’s the Gulf of Mexico.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Remember, the only thing that'll bring grocery prices down is being a total asshole to trans folks you don't know.
