🧵 Gentleman in DC on the suspension of @jimmykimmel.com:

“But you know who the real villains in this whole thing are?

The 60-some percent of American voters who didn’t [vote].”

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. 1/

me, 1% of the time: hell yeah, i am absolutely crushing it

me, 99% of the time: why brain no do stuff :(

I would 100% watch 11 whole seasons of the Roz show.

The entire point of good reporting or good scholarship is to tell us something we didn’t already know and the idea that they could ever be replaced by AI tools that rely on scraping the internet database of what we *do* know is just ludicrous.

My friend Nina writes RWRB fanfic and you should read everything she writes bc she is fantastic.

That’s all.

the world sucks so bad right now that it’s hard to know where to begin - but here’s one thing you can do, if there’s room in your heart and home 👇

oh wait, nope, I think i'm wrong...

"Additionally, the fee must be paid on top of a “Form I-94 fee,” which the One Big Beautiful Bill Act increased from $6 to $24. That fee must be paid by anyone who is required to submit a Form I-94 arrival and departure record, which applies to most travelers."

Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee' — what to know Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new "visa integrity fee" to visit, but questions remain as to how and when it will be implemented. Here's what we know so far.

It's in addition to whatever visa fees they'd already have to pay. But we have a lot of countries that are visa-exempt for tourism so I don't think it will affect *everybody* coming here, pretty sure if you're visa-exempt you don't have to pay the fee (I think)

"Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love."

(Yes, we've moved on to the Hobbit trilogy)

oh wow that is MATCHY matchy

Can confirm: ouch.

to add insult to (literal) injury, I just filed my nails this afternoon and now I had to clip this one all the way down to fit the band-aids how I needed to.

Hey friends, when a sharp knife falls blade up into your dirty dish cutlery holder and you think "I should move that now before I find it the hard way later".... Listen to yourself.

Signed,
Later me, who found it the hard way.

And in August USA's Rainmaker show premieres, starring Lana Parrilla as -- you guessed it -- a lawyer named Bruiser lol

Self-curation of what you want to see is a truly lost art, I fear. Learn to find the things you like yourself! Don't just consume what a machine somewhere thinks you'll like. I fear for us as a society, truly...

Took mine off for a bit last night bc the phone was getting really warm while charging and I thought the same thing. Just feels inherently unsafe.

oh man, someone remind me to watch this later

My fave thing about the LotR end credits is just how many minutes are taken up by listing every single member of the official Lord of the Rings fanclub. It's SO many names. SO many minutes. Just goes on...and on... and on...

guys, I even had my island theme and villager line-up all planned out lol I really thought about it (I didn't do tho bc... ADHD)

ADHD is having a thousand things to start, continue, or finish at any given time, and still having thoughts like, "what if I started a twitch channel?"

to be fair, i think that guy ruined his own life, chris martin just let everybody know about it lol

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host.

"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
