Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Draaaagons!!

The only returning HG I want to see this season is Louise the side eye cat #BB28

Gilbert Baker's original 8-color pride flag (1978) / theatrical release poster for Star Trek: the Motion Picture (1979) by Bob Peak

Wow, it's real!

Hopefully this is due to a crowded Dem field and cooler heads will prevail in November, but Sonja Shaw winning is a disaster, she is an insane transphobe who has made harassing trans youth her cause celebre calmatters.org/education/20...

I cannot believe Sonja Shaw (a woman who does not have a college degree nor a background in education & whose sole issue revolves around making schools less inclusive for the LGBTQ (especially trans athletes) is in the lead for CA State Superintendent of schools. edsource.org/2026/sonja-s...

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

IS GOD IS is the movie you SHOULD be seeing this weekend. Kara Young is the MVP, but everyone here does excellent work. Mallori Johnson is the film's heart; Sterling K. Brown is pure evil. A Southern gothic neo-noir filled with unapologetic Black female rage. GO! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/11/a...

I can't believe the director of this funny fantasy short I watched last year is also the ghostwriter of Rob Cesternino's Survivor book! What a world. Shout-out to Alex Kavutskiy! Check out his short here: youtu.be/SGZfDk6-97w NSFW warning for a dismembered dick

The fun thing about also being logged into both my job's and my local convention's social media handles is getting the odd DM about our professionalism and wondering which account it's aimed at (it's always the convention)

Happy 100, big man

Kind of a perfect summation of AVATAR's "white guy wants indigenous clout" politics.

I had a great chat with "Survivor" legend @robcesternino.bsky.social about his status as a Reality Mastermind, the influence of @robhasapodcast.bsky.social, and why Mike White got so pissed at him. www.vulture.com/article/rob-...

One of the hardest parts of losing a parent is mourning the relationship you wished you would have had rather than the one that really existed. There’s no roadmap to dealing with it and it sucks #survivor50

Can’t wait to see what kind of weird lady is the Real Problem in Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie

When thinking about the whole "10 games to get to know me"/games that shaped me trend, I thought I wouldn't be able to list that many because my gaming experience is sporadic. Turns out I could list quite a few! If watching LPs counted, then I'd toss Outlast, Anatomy , and Soma in there.

What do you mean Timothy Dalton will be replaced in Toy Story 5 by the actor who played my least favorite Sgt in Midsomer Murders? (Earnestly, congratulations to John Hopkins)

Per our last conversation, she's still committed to the trip and yet won't answer any of my messages. 😓

The Hampster Dance website in 1999 This website was one of the earliest examples of an Internet meme and it was created by Deidre LaCarte in 1998. #InternetHistory

I wish my friend would just admit that this trip isn't happening. We're supposed to be leaving Tuesday and don't even have tickets booked!

VHS cassette packaging design was on another level

do you think his smile is him hiding his intention to fry the chocobo later

Babies

Despite my protests, my friend used ChatGPT to find an easy, relatively flat trail for us to walk at Tahoe. My fault was in not researching the trail it suggested. Definitely not the best trail for inexperienced hikers who went drinking the night before.

It’s 2026 and this still looks like the future.

Absolute Martian Manhunter. The six covers of the first arc.

For the past four days, I've been getting a flood of users following me on letterboxd which is sort of a mystery to me because I'm no one special. I wonder if I got featured somewhere

If you've seen this piece before, "The New American Gothic" by Criselda Vasquez, Then heartbreakingly, I have to inform you that—according to Vasquez's Instagram as of 4/03/26—Vasquez's father has been taken by ICE. GoFundMe below to help financially support their family.

On Friday, MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS comes to Mubi. Last summer, I had a long conversation with director Julia Loktev about the film and the lessons she learned about authoritarianism. There are a couple quotes in here I think about all the time.

Seeing people still get HEATED that Goncharov is a thing that exists is so funny. It's an old silly meme at this point!

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I watched this! Take me back to here tbh.

18/24* but even if I'd gotten everything, that historical tie would've kept me on edge. The awards show can still give me little swerves which is great. In my heart, I wanted Sinners to win BP, but I'm SO happy for MBJ's win so things sort of evened out emotionally.

So cool that people are still discovering this #Sinners syllabus, published by the African American Intellectual History Society, and composed by Jemar Tisby & Keisha N. Blain. Enjoy!

All these Pokopia reels and the ditto plushies at the Nintendo store have confirmed what my first frivolous purchases will be when I get back home. Do you think they sell duty free Switch 2s at the Fijian airport in Nandi? 😅😅

My Oscar predictions as a Bingo board. I'm always aiming to blackout bingo but haven't achieved that yet (thanks to the shorts lmao). Honestly, I hope I'm really wrong on some of these. I went against the heart on a few.
