It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month. Stonewall was a riot. Trans rights are human rights. No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans. Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy. They don’t get to steal our joy.

🎶 Leavin', on a jet plane. I know pretty much when I'll be back again🎶 See you soon San Francisco!

Based.

Reports of an explosion heard around Boston are believed to be a significant bolide/meteor entering the atmosphere, a very large flash was detected by GOES-19 satellite that does not correlate with active thunderstorms. https://t.co/MSDGX6ZnMA

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

DENVER: the first 200 people to find me this weekend at FAN EXPO Denver can have one of these snazzy bookmarks for free, courtesy of my calendar publisher Andrews McMeel. I’ll be at table P58 in the comics pro aisle around the outside of artist alley.

this is so funny like they want you to be so hyped for a pic so dark you can barely see anything

🔥

they are literally never going to join you. i will not support anyone who: 1) thinks we need a "Strong Republican party." 2) doesn't pledge to undo what Trump has done literally immediately. 3) does not support robust court reform to unpack the courts. End of.

Obama: I'd love a Republican Party that wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses, and there has been a Republican Party like that in the past and I want to see that return @wilwheaton.net: wtf are you talking about

The VRA and Virginia decisions should be a learning moment for Dem opponents of zero-sum street fighting against Republicans. There’s a lot in this piece about what these corrupt judges revealed about themselves and the institutional right. But this is the key. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

(I was the original creator of this)

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

I know times are hard for everyone right now, but if people are able to spare something or help signal boost, a friend of mine from high school had a devastating house fire: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

WE WON. Amnesty named me People’s Human Rights Champion for exposing a scandal in British healthcare. My team and I found abuse, neglect, conversion therapy, and deaths, all ignored by NHS managers. See the story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S5w... Support our work: www.patreon.com/c/Philosophy...

I’m told my acceptance speech upset some of the BBC journalists who were in the room. I said what I said and it’s the truth 🤷‍♀️

chuck schumer has shown time and time again he is an incredibly weak leader and should step down yesterday

🚨🚨The DHS shutdown is OVER. By voice vote, the House has just approved a Senate-passed DHS funding bill, which funds everything at DHS (TSA, FEMA, etc.) except for ICE and the Border Patrol. The House initially refused to approve this plan 35 days ago.

42 House Democrats voted to reauthorize warrantless surveillance powers for Trump. Why is a single Democrat voting for this? If Democrats all voted NO, it would have failed because of 22 GOP NO votes.

Realistically, I know not getting my son (with impulse control issues) a full-sized lightsaber from Disney was the right call. But hearing him spin around the living room with the keychain one we did get him and making lightsaber noises is a bit tough :-/

And back to Boston!!

The Guardians of the Galaxy ride was amazing! Such a fun ride! Big G lived it, little G found that she doesn't like every rollercoaster 😬

Friend of a friend needs help after a terrible fall due to a pothole.

Rise of the Resistance was so much fun! Not entirely sure it was $22/person for a Lightning Lane fun, but it was still such an amazing spectacle!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

We won. Tesla Chicago is closed. Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability. Organizing works. @teslatakedown.com

Why was I invited to Beast Studios? youtu.be/0dwagg5wYY4

We didn't get into the hotel room till after 1:30, but we made it to Disney!

To the dude playing a video at full volume on his phone at the airport gate: no one likes you, please stop.

My shirt matches my feelings for the day after last night.

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

Well, the floofy pantaloons of the Grand Lady will be short shorts for a while. The vet recommended giving her a sanitary shave while she's having a dodgy tummy.

Of course the day before we leave for Florida, Donut has a bout of diarrhea (with bloody mucus in it) twice in 12 hours. So we are sitting in Blue Pearl waiting to be seen. Smelling strongly of cat urine because she angry peed in the carrier 😔

You Do Not Hate Congress Enough

BREAKING: The House just failed to pass a resolution to end Trump's war with Iran by one vote. The count was 213-214. Just one Democrat, Jared Golden, voted to let Trump keep waging the war.

Bloodbath at Marvel Comics today. Disney is axing over 1000 people. Unclear how many at Marvel. The number being talked about is 8% of the staff was cut, which is jawdropping. CEO scumbag Josh D’Amaro-- salary this year of $45M-- ordered the layoffs. Disney had a gross profit of $35B last year.

Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Talk about missing the point of the show.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

Ha, my kid's school had reference to a 30 year old Adam Sandler song for April Fools. I might be the only parent who gets the reference without googling it.

Wore a mask to PAX all four days and even with the foam insert on the masks I like, my nose was red and raw. Had to wear a bandaid over it today.

The guy dressed up as one of the aliens in Saga is awesome. The screen changes with his keyboard!

I guess it's nice to see @chucktingle.bsky.social 's cover artist getting contracted by MLB for work these days
