I guess I'm in my separate the art from the artist era because Timothee Chalamet is annoying but Bones & All is great and Sydney Sweeney sucks, but Immaculate is a blast

Shockingly, the age verification stuff doesn't end at point www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

I am sure the gay Arab in occupied Palestine, occupied Lebanon and occupied Syria love their Jewish military dictatorship so much

This is FUCKING HUGE news out of Kansas. The KDoA "supports" the temporary restraining order. Judge clarifies (through questions) that the KDoA is not requesting a TRO bc the KDoA would be harmed by the law. The KDoA is only saying that this is hard for them to implement and more time is helpful.

Asked about the administration’s plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: “Whatever.”

Don DeLillo’s funniest novel is a 1980 hockey sex romp he won’t acknowledge:

The IDF just ordered the forced evacuation of *all of Dahieh* a day after ordering the forced evacuation of all of South Lebanon. Israel is taking advantage of the focus on Iran to destroy Lebanon

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced. They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon. The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Jewish establishment groups are backing a war Americans don’t want, and they’re setting up American Jews to take the blame, @joshnathankazis.bsky.social writes. jewishcurrents.org/jewish-group...

Happening now in Chicago's federal plaza: A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.

Is Marco Rubio literally going to starve the people of Cuba while everybody is paying attention to Iran? www.crisisgroup.org/qna/latin-am...

Reporter: Yesterday, you told us that Israel was going to strike Iran and that that‘s why we needed to get involved. Today, the president said... Marco Rubio: No, your statement is false. I was asked very specifically -- were you there yesterday? Reporter: Yes, I was.

It's worth keeping in mind that Kansas has a strict voter ID law, so this law has essentially instituted a poll tax on all trans people in the state because they have to pay to get their ID replaced.

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker. It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Oh yeah, the munitions stockpile is completely cooked.

A new report is raising questions about how U.S. law enforcement agencies across the South classify the deaths of transgender women, arguing that some cases ruled suicides may warrant deeper scrutiny.

“All lawmakers will claim that they are [enacting age verification] to protect youth from some harm, but they fail to mention the convenient power it hands to government to control and chill speech they oppose, and even punish their critics.”

Trump has set off a chain reaction and anyone who claims they know how this all ends is lying

As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

In no way is this a good thing. This type of stuff gets welcomed by centrists with a guilty conscience, but the seizure of solar and its diversion towards powering tools of hate, disinformation, fascism and epistemic collapse is bad for everyone but the most blunt, simplistic energy bro

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

Me at the start of this: okay yeah sure funny joke but pulling bits of scripture out of their highly specific contexts of time and audience and jamming them into current events is obviously very bad theological heuristics, right Me halfway through: …uh you guys you guys, uhhhhh

Kansas has just made it illegal for transgender people to use state-issued IDs that don’t match gender assigned at birth. There are currently 700 anti-trans bills under consideration across 41 states.

Tapping the sign

Btw, if you are following the Anthropic debacle, and Minnesota is fresh in your mind, consider the limits your government was not willing to budge on, according to the Anthropic CEO: www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

And it has happened: Hegseth and Trump declare Anthropic a supply chain risk. Every company that has government contracts will be barred from using Claude code. It is an attempt to outright destroy the company because they did not consent to mass surveillance of Americans and AI kill bots. Wow.

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks. The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest. www.reuters.com/world/ice-st...

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

I signed up for a thing to go to free sneak peek screenings of movies and they just sent me one for Scream 7, but instead of a free screening it's to win passes through Fandango to go to a normal screening. People keep saying it's going to be a hit, but no other movie is doing this

Condoms full of piss

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

HR 7661, the Stop Sexualization of Children Act, already has 17 co-sponsors, from the usual gang of idiots. Rep. Miller, who introduced it, has been a major advocate for censoring "sexually oriented material" online as well. I'd say it's unlikely to move, but hey, it's 2026.

Congressional Republicans have introduced a bill that strips federal funding from any school that allows any book or resources that so much as references trans existence. They're doing it by redefining anything trans as "sexually oriented material." marymiller.house.gov/media/press-...
