Pride Flag’s Removal From Stonewall Violated Federal Law, Suit Says

A group of nonprofits filed a lawsuit in federal court today against the Trump administration, arguing that its decision to remove the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan this month violated a federal law that allows national parks and monuments to fly Confederate flags.

Birth control options for all: Planned Parenthood in Mass. now offers vasectomies Planned Parenthoods in the state are now offering vasectomy services after they saw a jump in requests for them after President Trump’s election in 2024. The procedures began Saturday, timed cheekily ...

This is very cool.

Important note: "The surgery typically costs around $700 and many insurance plans cover it, including MassHealth, the nonprofit said. Planned Parenthood said it also sometimes offers discounts or sliding scale pay options."

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Oh, damn.

The thought of those miserble people watching Kid Rock while missing this great spectacle warms my heart LOL

I don’t call myself an artist or a cartoonist or anything because I can’t draw or tell a joke in a visual format. so why should someone who types some bulllshit into chatgpt get to call themselves an artist or a writer or anything

We used to call these sort of people dilettantes. its not gatekeeping to suggest that someone show creativity in an artistic field to be considered an artist

People who need AI to make art think that being creative is a skill issue and they could do it themselves if like, pretending to code wasnt more important

I haven’t used Microsoft’s office suite in about 3 years and cancelled it a long time ago but just got charged for it. So I go to support and have to demonstrate that I’m not a robot and this is the test

WOW!! Democrat and machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet won the special election Saturday to represent a deeply red Texas Senate district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Rehmet won 57% to 43%. People are angry at Trump and GOP!

I always enjoy Gus sneaking in references to other works. "I Am a Camera" indeed.

It was Thursday morning. But coming home that day, everything was perfect.

Plenty of good tickets still available for MELANIA on Friday night in Boston

The train I took after got to Shawmut, then went out of service a minute later and kicked us all off. Then sat there while they checked things and 5 minutes later said it was back in service and we all got back on. And that's the only good Red Line experience I've had all week. 🤷

half star review for melani's that says they're showing this movie on airlines and people are still walking out

goddamn

Nice! Congrats

Oh please please please have SotH Mike Johnson and his son be in there too

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

People act like pronouns are confusing but will go out to eat at a place called Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Just finished the nametag artwork for this year's MIT Mystery Hunt. Palindrome's team name for 2026 is ... Eel-Emu Melee!

And let's all recognize our hard working Australian team members who keep solving puzzles throughout the night while we're snoozing stateside. #mysteryhunt

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
