OH MY GOD! Strange Brew IS an adaptation of "Hamlet". (in my defense, it's been a good couple of decades since I last saw it)

How I dress for Saturday night.

I just love real America so much.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

If your opinion or analysis of the possible merger situation with Paramount and Warner Bros in any way involves being either happy or upset about the possible future of any single entertainment property, you might be part of the problem.

LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas is a good place to donate. They have a fund for helping people get new IDs as well as other resources. lgbtqks.org/donate/

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

This may be the best SOTU response in...ever? Nailing all the right points: affordability, ICE abuses, corruption, Epstein. Not sure it matters, but Spanberger is providing Dems a good template for assailing Trump and offering alternative values and policies.

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies. Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy. We’re a better country than this.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

This entire State of the Union is basically a reboot of The Emperor Has No Clothes. Just lies upon lies and Republican Reeks surrounding their aging King with fake smiles and applause.

It's a real junk food speech. It's a super-sized portion with nothing of nutritional value – I don't thibk there's a single new announcement yet – but there's a nagging sense the ingredients are toxic and it's doing something terrible to your insides.

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

SOTU taking on some ominous lynch mob vibes as the almost entirely white and overwhelmingly male Republicans in the chamber stand and jeer at their Democratic colleagues while their angry, screaming leader eggs them on.

Notice here how Trump calls voting "the greatest privilege of them all" rather than, you know, a RIGHT!

Oh. My. God. Straight up white replacement rhetoric. With a straight face.

I'm asking in all seriousness, who has a direct line to Bruce Springsteen to ask if he can donate $100,000?

I think the State of the Union should be during the morning for the same reason I’m sick of the government doing crazy shit on the weekend: I’ve already had to spend all day hearing these asshole’s whether I wanted to or not. Weekends and nights are supposed to be politician-free time.

full statehood for DC on demand without apology

Thomas Massie and Nancy Mace are sitting next to each other and Ro Khanna is sitting on the other side. They had previously said that they would sit next to each other since they had to worked together on the Epstein files.

He is saying this in the United States Capitol, which he incited a violent attack against in order to try to illegally remain in power.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Today is also the anniversary of FDR's signing of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast. February 19—not a great day in American history!

Brandi Carlile stands with MN and now we all get to go to her Mpls concert on Saturday! If you’re not there in person (I will be 😊) you can watch online or listen on The Current. Benefits Advocates for Human Rights 💕✊🎵 bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

Fucking cowards. You have lawyers for a goddamn reason

new phrase: "Karens be Karen-ing"

Shaped entire generations

I was today years old when I learned that the US is the only country not to have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

My god.

Humble brag. I have now unintentionally ridden down an elevator with: Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Colin Baker (6th Doctor), Peter Davison (5th Doctor), and Connor Trinneer (ST: Enterprise). (I also have a list of 'sightings in a theatre. <g>)

Conversations with Kate out of context: the last thing I want is to be run over by Winston Churchill. #GallifreyOne

Everything's had to be profitable or "important" or tiktok-worthy or some other metric that centered society's reception of it in a fundamentally broken society. The act of creation has been categorized as drudgery on the way to a product. Which is why people turn to AI. No "drudgery," all product.

Primary every Democrat who won’t fight to abolish ICE. Every one.

something I probably already knew but didn't know how to articulate: why I like autographs but stay away from things already autographed. It's not about the actual autograph. It's about the fact that I got to spend 5ish minutes talking to this person and telling them how much their work meant to me.

Daphne Asbrook used to say, "When I'm 33, I just want to achieve grace." she turned 33 while playing Grace in the telemove.

This is the guy who nerfed Tumblr’s usage with the porn ban btw.
