A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

A Quote Tweet from NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino @VickieForNYC stating: “We’re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it. “We need to take every seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders. “The administration needs to begin developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and get it over with before we end up with another 9/11 or worse. Enough is enough.” The quoted tweet from @DrewPavlu stating: “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK GUN OFF SHOOTER “TERROR ATTACK SYDNEY AT LEAST 10 DEAD “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK DOWN GUNMAN”

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Transgender candidate announces for Shelby County Commission • Tennessee Lookout Tech consultant Lena Chipman will attempt to become the second transgender person elected to local office in Tennessee and first in Memphis.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Ah yes, the famous crooner, gangster, and member of the rat pack, JFK

How come there are hungry people in the richest country in this world?

🙄🙄

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.
 
No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.
 
We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

Time's running out and we've got swag to unload. We'll be giving out free merch at canvasses all weekend. But only while supplies last.

Sign up for a shift or two and get there early: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

As someone who still has a TiVo: 😭

Congrats!

The hibiscus I grew from a seed decided to bloom this week lol

One way to cut down on social media posts that are like "so you hate waffles" would be to ban matt yglesias and jesse singal

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Remember when the words "illegal" and "unconstitutional" meant the government would not do the thing?

This is why I don’t watch Jimmy Fallon. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like there’s a very janky clock counting down to these cultists literally worshipping Charlie Kirk.

When Trump dies they’ll just port Christianity over entirely with TrumpDaddy & Kirk as his innocent sacrificial son it’s gonna be AWFUL.

It strikes me that quite a lot of people knew for the last year that the guy running our horrific deportation squads took a bag with $50k in cash from undercover FBI agents investigating corruption, and it didn’t get out until now.

I particularly love when two characters who have ABSOLUTELY NO CANON CHEMISTRY make it work on a fanfic through the hands of a skilled writer. No wonder some of these people are moving on to write trad pubbed novels.

@nnaylime.bsky.social @somuchwhatever.bsky.social

shipping is one hell of a drug creatively. you will actively start honing your craft just to see two (or more) characters smooch. actually strive to get better at what you do just to do them justice. it's genuinely wild.

Thanks!

So
I chose to go back to school
Tomorrow is my first day
I’m a little nervous lol
I’m taking Non Verbal Communication, Critical Thinking, The Art of Theatre, Algebra and TRIGONOMETRY (help) and some kind of intro class for my major lol.
This should be fun!

*hugs*

If you think about it, it's actually surprising that it took six whole months before putting a vaccine-denying, roadkill-eating, ex-junkie carnivorous dead brainworm host and loonytunes conspiracy nut in charge of the CDC destroyed the CDC.

As an old white lady, I am WEARY of Black people having to constantly bail us out of legislation put forth by the stupidest white people alive. FFS, vote better. DO BETTER.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Happy Anniversary my Dougie. You fill my heart with love and laughter — thank you for being the best partner in this adventure called life.

I mean, you could take the time to research this yourself, and see that it’s all true, or you can keep sticking your head up his ass.

I’m not MAGA. Not liking Newsom for the awful shit he has done does not make me MAGA.

If you think all of that stuff is okay, then maybe you’re the one who’s MAGA
