Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

What actor's facial expression in a movie/TV show will stay with you for the rest of your life? This ignited a jaw-dropping adventure for my 8-year old self back in 1983.

If I attempted any of this, they would be taking me to the hospital in 17 different ambulances.

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar I saw Knives Out on opening night, then went back the next night to see it all over again. Loved it, and still love it.

just at the end of a snow squall you'll see for maybe ten seconds the weirdest and most beautiful light on earth. thats what you tell an old person when they ask you why you always have your phone

Shout out to Marisa for this one. I am disgusted.

Pope Francis, who died in April 2025, left money in his will to purchase ambulances for Ukraine. This was revealed by Sister Lucía Caram.

For all of the stress of The Bear TV show, the soundtrack is absolutely brilliant with some beautiful tracks (“Strange Currencies” by REM, Eddie Vedder’s rendition of “Save it for Later”, etc.)

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

Without saying Star Wars, name a science fiction film. Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars ❤️

For context: Jack served as head of the Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush administration. He’s widely regarded—especially in conservative legal circles—as a leading authority on executive power. The fact that he’s expressing this view in such stark terms is significant.

"Reasonable minds could differ as to how to interpret" Trump's call to Raffensperger, writes Skandalakis in his memo dropping the case, without quoting any portion of the call. Here's his assessment at left, and an excerpt from the call, at right.

This is the type of hater energy that will fuel us in the years ahead.

Bloomberg has obtained the transcript of a call between Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and a senior aide to Vladimir Putin — in which Witkoff advised the aide — a Russian aide — on how Putin should go about pitching Trump on a pro-Russian peace plan aimed at bringing an end to the Ukraine war.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

The Force Unleashed (33 years old) 5. The Force Awakens (40 years old) …and so many other creations and stories in between.

Post a Star Wars character you’re thankful for: Doctor Aphra - an Asian, bi Indiana Jones type but with less scruples, who I can only hope one day to see in a tv show or film.

No one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans. My only hope is - if you love a movie or show or art or creation, just make sure to share that joy back to those artists, actors, directors, etc. Share that love and joy and let others do the same. ❤️ MTFBWYA

@dieworkwear.bsky.social I just saw your guide for Black Friday for 2024. Any chance you’re writing another for this year? My goal for 2026 is to buy less but buy better …and need all the help I can get - and your writing and thoughts are the best I’ve been able to find.

Here's some very practical thinking about the whole whistle thing -- very well done:

Mamdani probably got home, turned to his wife, and let out the longest, loudest “this fucking guy” of all time

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not. The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose? Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming? I doubt it.
