The big literary discourse on twitter right now is whether The Hobbit—a children’s book that won children’s lit awards and was literally written for the author’s children—is appropriate reading for children or in fact such a difficult book most adults can’t “get their head around” it.

Social media is abuzz with opinions on how best to honor Lindsey Graham. IMO, it should be by reflecting on the last honest thing he ever said.

Teddy Kennedy really did more damage to this country than people acknowledge. By refusing to step down and wanting to die in office with the moniker "The Lion of the Senate", he convinced a generation of legislators to follow his path, hoping for a heroes funeral. May today be a lesson to them all.

A tourist was seriously injured after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident.

I'm old enough to remember people calling Gennifer Flowers a lying bitch who just wanted her 15 min of fame. I also remember that Clinton's lascivious behavior lead to George W. Bush. Yes, people can change; forgiveness is important. But not holding politicians to higher standards lead to ALL THIS.

Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday to form a U.S. Senate exploratory committee, becoming the first Democrat to formally campaign for the spot Graham Platner appears likely to vacate.

An "Object at Rest" is an animated cartoon by Seth Boyden. He says, the cartoon "follows the life of a stone as it travels over the course of millennia, facing nature's greatest obstacle: human civilization." It was his final thesis film at CalArts. Well done, Seth! I feel bad for the rock though.

This sounds insane until you remember that Microsoft is ALL IN on Ai. These folks believe most of us will be out of work in the next 5 years, drawing from UBI. What will we do with all that time? XBox hopes we'll spend our time & money with them. Dystopian thinking. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Ha ha I hate it here

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

MAN FINDS TAPE, an indie passion project made by a bunch of friends here in Austin—and funded by me and Jess—has dropped on Tubi. Looking for a good, creepy horror film to watch this weekend? This is Found Footage at its best and weirdest. So proud to have been a part of this. Find it on Tubi!

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

This is Cupcake. She is either living her best life or really going through it. Either way, probably best to give her a moment. 14/10 (TT: bundleofbullies)

HOLY SHIT. FIFA President Gianni Infantino is at the USA game, sitting with Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce AND CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Disgusting.

1) I have spoken many times about how much JOSIE rules. The songs, sung by Hanley, is a big part of that. 2) Kay's band Letters to Cleo was the very first band Jess & I saw live together (They opened for Sponge. Both bands ripped.) 3) This blows and needs to get fixed.

NEWS: 29-year-old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros will defeat 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary for CO-01. Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney, dominated the Denver assembly and tapped into anti-incumbent sentiment.

Competitive high school sports are not about gladiatorial domination; they exist to teach kids teamwork, comradery, promote exercise, and give them a sense of accomplishment. I can think of no better way to accomplish those goals than to compete alongside our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings.

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

NEW: House Republicans hijacked the floor in yet another attempt to pass the SAVE America Act by trying to attach it to a key annual defense bill. The effort derailed GOP leadership's plans for House votes today, but the push to ram through Trump's pet legislation will likely trek on.

Here are the top 5 dogs of June!

While no woman deserves the harsh scrutiny, I do find it absolutely hilarious how much energy chuds are expending this week trying to convince me objectively attractive woman is unattractive actually. From Jesse Watters to rando El Neckbeard Supremos, these guys just universally fucking suck.

PETERS: If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal govt, will Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule? STEINER: No PETERS: So it basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face consequences of not being able to vote by mail
