Everything is pretty bad. But tonight hundreds of people sold out an auditorium to hear a girl from eastern North Carolina read from her work. It was such a great experience that I don’t have a single picture of any of it. I didn’t want to miss a thing.

i was invited to a gathering tonight and initially wasn’t gonna go because every extra thing feels like so much these days but i made myself go and i’m so glad i did because it turns out community is so fucking important right now

So we have all just accepted that the way it works is one person just slaps on whatever tax he wants on anything he wants, any time he wants? Got it.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The cavalry has arrived in Portland, Oregon. Our war-ravaged city will not fall without a fight.

This is Mylo. He's a front runner for next year's Oscars. He can act like he's never had a meal just five minutes after lunch. 13/10 the performance of a lifetime (TT: _luciame)

US comedians defend decision to play in Saudi Arabia: ‘They’re paying me enough to look the other way’

the president has begun ranking generals out loud by fuckability

Barbara Gomes Marques is documentary filmmaker who risks imminent deportation to Brazil. Loud voices in the film community could be especially helpful right now.

It’s probably a good thing that comedy is going to have a reckoning about comedians pretending they’re dangerous or edgy when their definition of those words is that they whitewash repressive government regimes for money but also make gay jokes

Generals I have gathered you here today to make sure the military isn't doing anything gay or black

National Congress of American Indians" "Wounded Knee Was Not a Battle. It Was the Deliberate Mass Killing of 350 Lakota." nativenewsonline.net/currents/nca...

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Hey help wanted.

Someone could and maybe should write a paper on the developing lexicon for talking about This Moment, especially in higherEd and non-profit type spaces. Maybe that already exists? But it’s wild to me how I go to meetings full of people who say things like, “all of this” and “these times” etc.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Same as it ever was.

Yet you got a student expelled from OSU.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

How *not* to alleviate the housing shortage: tax cabinets. Kitchens & bathrooms are already some of the largest cost drivers for housing prices. Renovations have a big multiplier effect on local jobs. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/r...

JD Vance watching Trump impose tariffs on imported furniture

Its insane that American politics now more or less revolves around infrequently passing a single comically large overstuffed money bill instead of like... normal legislation

this is why you can’t give an inch to transphobes. they are driven by hate and no amount of kindness will make them even momentarily soften. it is a militant ideology.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Good morning Blue Sky

sorry but "MrBeast defends trapping man in burning building for $500,000" is so bleak. he is living cultural rot

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

WITAF

they’re still tryna warn us about cleaning our ears with Q-Tips as if we don’t want the brain damage, read the room sweeties

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them

ugh. I hate having to rearrange my wooden cutting board and chef’s knife to make room for my cast iron pan in the dishwasher

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

Dave the penguin was like... Nope! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #bluesky #nature #animals

Boomers like to talk about themselves, and yet not a single one ever talks about the fact that they went bananas for several years for Jonathan Livingston Seagull

They are going to ramp up violence against protestors.

Incredible.
