I'm saddened to hear about the passing of actor and humanitarian Eric Dane.

Despite learning he had ALS just 10 months ago, Eric spent his last months on earth advocating for the greater ALS community.

People think they’re going to convince people to give up cattle ranches for data centers

there’s so much wrong with it that I’m not sure where to start

Cows go in the desert because they can eat brush

Data centers should probably not be placed in the desert

Good luck convincing people they’re being NIMBYs about… water usage…

I really thought shows like “Designated Survivor“ had cleared this up

The guy currently in office supports ad hoc changes to America’s system of government and rule by fiat and he’s the most unpopular president in more than a century.

House Speaker Michael Scott, declaring No Confidence in His Excellency the President's Government (2026)

Do you get why "[American political party] should declare no confidence in the government and hold new (i.e., early) elections" is really funny?

Like on a metatextual level: do you have enough of a contextual grasp on what you're speaking about to understand why that's extremely funny?

My Good Dipshit, you are proposing unilaterally declaring a new Constitution, and that is Not How Things Work.

"How dare you explain to me how the american constitution functions, dont you want me, a German, to vote for the democrats?"

What

LOVE THIS 💗

Vote for Jasmine Crockett who is an actual democrat…

Not Talarico who plays footsie with maga

Universal vaccine for cold, flu, COVID and allergies moves a step closer, scientists say It is hoped that in the next few years, the vaccine could replace multiple jabs for winter respiratory infections.

cold, flu and covid suck, but i would give absolutely everything for a vaccine against dust mite allergies. holy fuck

i’m so fucking sick of people reporting on anything that pathetic cretin nick fuentes has to say. who gives a fuck what he thinks? 😭

Bingley was *scared of being* because her family was nouveau riche too. It’s pretty funny as a soap opera. I always get surprised on people waffling over whether it was Fanny or everyone else. Fanny sucked less but the text was pretty ambivalent to her, as also sucking. That’s the point.

The fandoms have not learned how to read these last three hundred years at least

Sometimes I feel I have the only working memory of classic literature I only half-remember reading

Fanny’s extended family was Worse.

Wuthering Heights repeatedly says “everyone sucks here, run away” to the only outside character—who does immediately—as was common in novels at the time. Only way it could’ve been clearer is if the outsider had been a woman.

To me this reads like “these books get better when you read them“ Fanny is literally portrayed as a classist and likely a racist who can’t connect to anyone or trust them if they pay attention to her without emotionally abusing her, but she refuses to get better for her sister’s marriage prospects

That is literally the theme of both of them

South Korea sentences Yoon for insurrection. The UK arrests Andrew over Epstein ties. And America hangs a banner of what looks like Trump's mugshot on the DOJ.

In global news today, accountability is the headline. In the U.S., it’s the punchline.

Homeland Security buys entire warehouse property for $128 million The Department of Homeland Security paid more than $128 million for the warehouse and property in Social Circle that appear destined to become an ICE detention facility.

Why is the Trump administration paying hundreds of millions of dollars to Russian companies to put ICE facilities in Georgia without community input or support? Sketchy.

For some reason I expected Talarico to look like Beto and not a member of young Republicans.

ugh forgot people don’t deal with their fears of death or inadequacy

What is with the Islamophobia? My god, people need to shut Republicans up. Religious freedom is good, racism is bad.

WAIT HOLD UP ALYSA LIU WAS ONE OF THE IN-TRAIN ANNOUNCERS FOR THE MUNI METRO L TARAVAL RELAUNCH WTFFFF

Someone has to ask him to pronounce and/or define any of the terms used here
