In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):
Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!
I know it was desperate times but Dems really, really have to vet candidates better.
There were stories about this dude being a racist POS before and we all fell in line behind "vote blue no matter who" but look where that's gotten us in this case.
Same should go for Graham Planter.
Good morning! Yes, this is he
To other film festivals out there, especially those of you that regularly platform films from the major studios. Now seems like a great time to NOT DO THAT. If three total companies are going to own the world we all have a responsibility to work harder than ever to discover and platform new voices.

Seeing some "fuck Kansas" replies/QTs and while I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment behind the statement, I think a better response would be "fuck, we need to help the people of Kansas"
If anyone knows a good way to do that, please put it in the comments and I will amplify
A white woman who is not a doctor & doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General.
Black people, don’t EVER let these people tell you that you are a “diversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for & earned.
I'm so tired of men ruining every good thing that women achieve for themselves.
a mundane curse #comic
I liked it better when I didn’t even know who the director of the FBI was, much less have to read about his tawdry exploits on social media.
Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.
The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.
Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:
And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.
I don't need Copilot to help me write an email because I possess the skill known as "knowing how to write an email".
Deeply ashamed to live in a country where tweeting this isn’t instant career suicide
Not that this is in any way a metric, but I’m 5th gen Japanese-American who grew up in Hawaii. My great grandfather went to Yale (I fell very far from THAT tree), tried to enlist in WWI (yes, one) and loved sushi and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Fuck your “common culture.”
These A.I. commercials have convinced me to finally become a sad loser
The Epstein scandal isn't just about the disgusting sex trafficking of underage girls.
It's also about the rich, powerful men who LIED to us to cover up their involvement.
The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.
I know this seems like it should be impossible, but both of these statements are true: Trump's judicial nominees all refuse to denounce the January 6 insurrection or say that he lost the 2020 election, and ALSO, some Senate Dems keep voting to confirm those nominees to life-tenured judgeships
