It doesnt stop there. Did you know "zombies" are an African creation?

Zombie comes from the Haitian creole "zanbi," which itself comes from the Kikongo word "nzambi" that translates to "spirit of a dead person.'

It embodied the spirit of haitian slavery. Body is alive, the soul is not

Hill House is phenomenal! Definitely on my regular re-watch list.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of a great modern sci-fi show: Scavengers Reign. 🥰

A new classic that is only officially available in a few countries.

There is an app like that for cocktails. It's called Mixel, and it's extremely useful. Hard to believe there isn't one for food recipes. Sounds like something someone should've thought of already

This reminded me of the Doctor Who episode Gridlock, where where an entire planet's population spend their entire lives in their flying cars, stuck in a massive traffic jam in mid-air, unable to even breathe outside because the air is so polluted.

i take heart in knowing that there will still be unhinged fanfiction lovingly crafted by middle-aged women for my perusal

His responsibility

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Afaik Taylor Lorenz doesn't have a good track record of being welcoming to people with varying opinions on the left. If the point she is making is that leftists tend to scare people off, then she is part of the problem

I'm a city person and I spend 3/4 of my PTO in national parks. It's not like city people never get to enjoy nature. And it's not like small town/suburban people spend their entire days hiking nature trails and not stuck inside their cars on the same shitty itinerary every day: work - walmart - home

All pix are of Scott Bakula in drag

I feel like Scott Bakula deserves more recognition from the trans community

QUANTUM LEAP provided a lot of people with visions of (pseudo-)transness that were completely unavailable elsewhere in media

When Bakula put on a dress and said "Oh, boy…" I asked myself questions—and for that, I thank him

The entire internet right now

I've found the perfect Instagram account. Seattle's Twice Sold Tales owner Jamie recommends books and shows her cats. That's it.

Churchkhela. Waste of perfectly good walnuts imo.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

An archipelago, if you will

Hey, hi, Utah redrock hiking enthusiast here.

People AND ECOSYSTEMS are gonna die.

Even if "a lot on the left" didn't buy into Trump being antiwar, many of them certainly echoed his rhetoric on foreign policy, especially wrt Ukraine

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

That's the problem. These "anti-war" communists never speak to Ukrainians about the war but would always gladly speak FOR them. As if the citizens of a war-torn country are silly children who don't realize they will stop dying if they stop trying to defend themselves from invaders

I dunno how to tell you this boys, but lashes are a whole secret weapon if you have good ones

Something something paradox of tolerance

If I post about horror books and you feel inspired to remind me of the horrors of reality and how current events should be plenty of horror for me, see this hand 🤚 and let it silence you. My retreat into fictional horrors are saving me every day. You go do whatever it is you do. Bye bye now.

Yeah that's a marshrutka. Expensive name brand marshrutka

for the past few months the us has been ruled by a lawless triumvirate--a mobster (trump), a plutocrat (musk), and a commissar (miller)--haphazardly implementing, respectively, a great leap backward (tariffs), a kleptocratic shock therapy (doge), and a gestapo-spearheaded ethnic cleansing (ice)...

Absolutely accurate. Vince Gilligan is only the most famous example

"The X-Files" was an incubator for the '00s Prestige TV explosion, just like "Your Show of Shows" was an incubator for the great sitcoms of the '60
