New NJ law criminalizes interference with trans healthcare share.google/xT0wTeUXv9Bf... Some good news!

The only good thing to come out of the dipshit Odyssey discourse is that at one point I commented “if we’re worried about accuracy, then Jason Mantzoukas should be playing Odysseus,” and now I can’t get it out of my head 😄

There is a sad & funny truth about the market's ability to stay irrational longer than you can stay liquid which I find remains equally applicable to the rich and powerful's ability to stay malicious and irrational longer than you can stay alive.

I saw Godzilla 2000 in a sold out AMC in central jersey, and the first time Godzilla is onscreen the entire theatre stood up and cheered like he'd just scored on the Cowboys

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

Want to avoid explosive diarrhea? Pass it on

Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.

maybe it's not woke to say so but these bog people from the northern barbarian mists simply should not be depicting a civilized race like the greeks

I’ve had this open as a tab for a while; our int’l touring earlier this year seems to have permanently wrecked my sleep so this morning at five I began exploring this open tab, clicking around. A remarkable, meticulous work: of art, of literature, what to say…give this your time.

This was reported exactly one month ago.

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

AI evangelists in shambles after seeing the results here

Controversial, but if I was one of the Poison Clan’s five deadliest martial artists who had mastered a signature animal-based style AND I was separately a rich friend of the magistrate, I wouldn’t need to murder an old man and his family to steal his treasure, but that’s me lacking grindset, I guess

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Axel Springer, the company that owns Politico, awards its top prize to...Antichrist lecturer Peter Thiel. No mention of the $50 million Thiel gave the son of Axel Springer's CEO to start a venture capital fund. But the CEO lauds Thiel's "courage and non-conformity." www.welt.de/wirtschaft/a...

Incredible statement from the Church in Wales on the ignominious Code of Practice: "The Church in Wales will not use equality law exemptions to exclude trans people from our worship, our sacraments, our pastoral care, or our common life." www.churchinwales.org.uk/en/news-and-...

Darren’s a real life pal of mine, so that pretty much makes me friends with the late great Sam Neill and Jeremy Brett too, I guess. A lovely (and short) thread.

Strictly speaking "ultimate" means "last", not "best". It's often figuratively used in the latter sense to imply the described thing is the final word on the subject, but if we're being real technical, calling a game or movie that's so bad it killed its whole franchise "ultimate" is in fact correct.

I don’t know man I think if your whole thing is being a satanic doo wop band then getting kicked off someone’s tour was probably always part of the vision. This feels like a scandal from 1998.

Herbie Hancock literally in the studio

"meeting people where they are" means you have to accept that they sincerely believe what they believe. It does NOT mean that you have to pretend to agree with their beliefs. In fact, you must be honest when you don't. Grown ups have to deal with people who don't agree with them all of the time.

as for the argument i just saw from a supposed leftist calling cooking "feminized labor" and that this justified people not wanting to do it. well. imagine my facial expression right now. none of you know how to change a tire either and thats not feminized labor youre just scared of everything

Know what struck me about this and the post from last night? They’re not giving a percentage of sales of one product for one month *up to* $100K, they’re just giving it. Every year. For the next 3 years. Whether you like it or not. Oh and direct funding to local trans orgs too. Cry harder, terves.

I get a lot of criticism for not offering "concrete steps," and there are concrete steps, people just don't like them.

I'm a lawyer who has actually worked on cases suing law enforcement and have thoughts about relying on this as a strategy. I'll have to collect my thoughts, but here's what I will say -- history teaches us that if you do not actually defund -- e.g. fire people -- it's all for naught.

it's the biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and you almost never hear about it (because it threatens to bankrupt many of the fossil fuel interests who currently run our society)

“These are federal agents who kill and face no consequences, and are led by people pushing an ethnic cleansing campaign. These killings are simply part of that job." This is absolutely correct from @melissagiragrant.com

Wow

Out today: Both Austin and Dallas passed laws mandating rest breaks for construction workers, as a protection from dangerous heat. Then the lege overruled their work, and banned future laws like it. Time and again, cities plan climate action but it's blocked by the state.

Fucking on the arcade floor sofa tonight

Oh, Pittsburgh.

Kudos to Andreas 💐 Thousands of us at Google organized against the company’s Maven contract nearly 10 years ago, even though principles like this existed. We saw no hope that such principles would survive bottom line pressure—nor were they legally drafted to do so.

I wonder if any old folks have been inspired by the recent glut of elderly vengeance action movies and tried to take on a local crime lord or anything

been trying to figure out what it is people want youth to Do with every activity and space being taken from them, internet starting to be walled off, but adults not liking them at home either and i think the unstated desire is "some kind of constantly running summer camp, but one we don't pay for"

Reminder that DHS didn't exist until after 9/11, that the massive power consolidation was seen as very concerning at the time (despite the political power of the right in forcing it through) and ICE didn't exist until it did. DHS has shown itself to be even worse than critics feared.

because mae questel also voices an olive oyl impression in this cartoon, she technically does voices for popeye, olive, AND bluto

there's no "just let ICE go after the 'bad ones'" there are no good immigrants/bad immigrants. there are no acceptable targets, no justifiable victims of state violence. I do not accept the starting position of fascism. I will not compromise when the stakes are someone else's life or freedom.

Like sorry but Let JKR take Amnesty International to court. Make it a thing, thats the fight, was words all they ever intended to give? If your whole thing is exposing human rights abuses, no greater platform than actually being taken to court. Let these fascist freaks actually be scrutinised
