I think it's time the left start getting angrily political about routine stuff in TV shows and movies. "It's an *outrage* that Dutton Ranch doesn't have solar panels!" "They cast a man to play Jack Reacher?!?! What?!" "None of the Fast and Furious cars are EVs? NONE? I thought this was America!"

The Cohen brothers are ruining Homer's legacy. Odysseus never records a hit song. This is an assault on western culture. I am very smart.

I don't know why America decided to put its most embarrassing bigots front and center to represent us, but the results have been disastrous. People who resent the diversity of America should not be allowed to represent America. The diversity is our selling point.

The study has been published in The New England Journal of Medicine. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... 🧪🧵⬇️

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Hours after I held a press conference exposing Mayor Bass’s secret deal to allow rental homes to be turned into vacation rentals, filings were published showing that Airbnb is spending big on a PAC to get her reelected.  This is what pay-to-play politics looks like. 🧵⬇️

I’m also going to go a bit further — hope and anger aren’t opposed, they’re not even on a same emotional spectrum. Anger is the appropriate emotional response to INJUSTICE. And in terms of climate, we should be righteously furious about how much has been deliberately stolen & damaged.

someone who’d never read any vonnegut once asked me to sum up his vibe and i sat with it for a while and came up with “there is no point to existence, thank goodness, so please be kind. and if all else fails, it will always be funny when the person next to you farts.”

As another “worst English major ever.” the point of the English degree has always been to better understand why my sci-fi and romantasy and epic fantasy does what it does for me. I’m of the heretical position that the English major should enhance our appreciation, not transform us into snobs.

I’m such weirdo and the worst English major ever that whenever I see a list like this I groan at all the suggestions because I just want to read my silly little cozy mysteries and sci-fi’s and romances and none of this serious literature shit even though I’m sure they’re great LMAO

A reminder that no: you don't need a random company making your merch, publishing your book, or doing anything like that. You can do almost all of that for yourself, out of your house, and your fans will still love it. You don't need to be "big" to be successful.

I get a lot of fake e-mails about this stuff (the moment you mention cock is the moment event bots apparently die at the keyboard) but the random genuine ones I get absolutely crumble the moment I start asking any questions about how they will stand up for porn and sex work. Pathetic.

Random companies will straight up look at numbers (mine aren't even "good") and just go, "Yeah, yeah, that'll work!" and the moment you press them on supporting adult work and protecting it: they crumble. I asked these folks how they would protect me and I know they will answer with, "We can't."

Which makes God's comment about Aziraphale and Crowley's love being the most predictable thing in the universe so interesting too. And, more importantly, the fact that their decision was not. They chose the unpredictable - they subverted the tale God had written for their characters #go3spoilers

guy who is mad at Nolan’s Odyssey because it depicts the sea as blue instead of wine-dark

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

One time, one of my law school’s megadonors came to speak and made a bunch of casual racist & anti-immigrant remarks in front of a lecture hall of students naturally, the dean (who preaches integrity) ended up treating it as a crisis management issue with *the student body* Will never forget that

pushing out diverse people to accommodate diverse views about those people's inferiority, be fucking serious

As a queer who grew up in the 90s, when it was completely normal to call everything you didn't like "gay," I'm begging y'all to push back on the use of homosexuality as an insult, even when it's leveled at people you hate. No, it's not more fitting because they're homophobic bigots. It's never cute.

I’ve recently learned that not even desecrating the graves of our Pearl Harbor dead is enough to change MAGA minds.

It began with the forging of the Great Genders. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest, fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords. And nine genders were gifted to the race of men who above all else desire power. But they were all of them deceived, for another gender was made. In the f

CBC reports on the Canadian side of Kars4Kids: "Canadian tax filings show the organization transferred $12.6 million to the U.S. and Israel in the fiscal year 2025... for projects such as the Texas Torah Institute and the Cincinnati Hebrew Day School." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Renewables create a set of capital assets, which once you’ve got them, are just not susceptible to somebody cutting off a pipeline or somebody sending the LNG elsewhere because they got a better offer,” Turner said.

“Solar is so cheap, batteries are so cheap and EVs are getting so cheap that this is the first energy crisis where people say, ‘but there’s an alternative,’” Turner said. 💡 paywalled

That's why a Democratic president needs to immediately engage in court reform as a means to overturn Skrmetti/Dobbs and secure transgender status and sex as suspect classes subject to strict scrutiny. We must seek lasting generational change to counter the progress that has been lost.

They're trying to raise the cost to provide this care to such a level that even if a Democrat takes back office in 2029, clinics in blue states won't restart care for fear of a Republican coming back in 2033 and running this playbook again. That's what all of this is about.

It's also increasingly clear that the anti trans side is desperate. They couldn't get a national ban through Congress. They've been stymied by the courts in blue states. So now they're trying everything they can not only to end care now but to salt the earth for a generation so it can't come back.

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

Under communism we will arrest and prosecute the owners of robot cars so teenagers can go outside together with their friends

Insurance actuaries, watching 30 straight hours of video of different Waymos passing school buses with their little stop signs out as tiny little children step off the bus into the street: This to me is a dream

Lone Republicans acting appalled is comical... "Committee member Don Bacon (R-NE) said the canceled deployment “is a slap in the face to Poland; it’s a slap in the face to our Baltic friends. It’s a slap to the face of this committee.”"

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) posted: “Once again the President and Pete Hegseth show that they are not committed to security in Europe. Actions like this make us less safe and embolden [Russia’s president] Vladimir Putin. At every turn the two of them cower to Russia.”

Frankly, "New Age" stuff in general is rotten to the fucking core, because it's essentially built on mid-century-and-earlier white supremacist bullshit. "Nordics," "Atlanteans," aliens building everything impressive brown/Black people ever made. It's not even subtle.

He's got Smarmy Real Estate Tycoon Brain. You can imagine him talking up his latest condo building and casino as being "hot." It is humiliating and outrage-making that he thinks we think that being "hot" means anything.

That "hottest country" crap just irks me fundamentally. One, it sounds absolutely idiotic out loud. Two, it's only hot for folks that profit off of his mismanagement of the country. You know, not us at all.

So basically, he was hit by a bus and doesn't know it because they kissed his arse. He would surrender to anyone who hands him gold bling, and he is accurately depicting himself when he says, "I don't care about Americans' financial situation." He cares only for himself, which he told MAGA in 2023.

I think this is an important caveat to address. Isn't enrollment down? Well, it depends on what we are talking about. Total undergraduate enrollment peaked around 2011 and declined through covid but has stabilized since then (from IPEDS Trend Generator).

Tuition is flat, enrollment and graduation rates are stable or up, outcomes are generally good, most students feel comfortable expressing their views on campus. Political control is intense and science is under threat. The centrist account of higher ed doesn’t have the story right.
