this should go without saying, but in civilized democratic nations, journalists should not be arrested for doing their job, either.

welcome to dictatorship, friends. you're gonna hate it.

IN CIVILIZED DEMOCRATIC NATIONS, RESISTING ARREST SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.

Autopsy report classifies ICE detainee’s death as a homicide The report deeming an ICE detainee’s death in Texas a homicide comes the same day that a federal judge temporarily barred the deportation of two witnesses.

Breaking WaPo:

The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..."

Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

if #Greenland (crucially: NOT iceland) is "cold and badly positioned," then why tf does he even want it???

orange man-child doesn't even process half the crap that's coming out of his mouth.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 🎉🎉🎉

‘Tangled’ Live-Action Movie Finds Its Leads: Teagan Croft, Milo Manheim (Exclusive) The casting ends a lengthy search for Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.

OMG OMG OMG 🤩🤩🤩 #Tangled #TangledLiveAction

#PercyJackson thought of the day:

yk... i wouldn't even mind them transitioning to animation for #HeroesOfOlympus after S5. they could keep the #PJO cast, even if they get "too old" for their roles ( #HoO is trickier bc all 5 books take up one summer). i just want ANY version of an HoO TV show.

YouTube video by Marvel Entertainment Avengers: Doomsday | Only in Theaters December 18, 2026

OH SHOOT OH SHOOT OH SHOOT 😱 #AvengersDoomsday #XMen

to the folks spoiling #StrangerThings5 in the comments of my old (pre-S3) ST fanfics: i have not finished watching S5 yet. these comments come straight to my inbox.

thankfully, i'm chill with spoilers. i'll be fine.

don't do this to other people, though. it's super shitty. seriously, don't.

i can't watch any of the video. even just looking at the thumbnails on youtube is making me super anxious. i just hope people on the ground find ways to stay safe.

coming from someone whose earliest memories of childhood are of the sound of bombs and gunfire amidst a US invasion of her home country:

my heart is with #Venezuela, especially caracas, right now. i can't predict how this will turn out for you, but i hope things get better from here out. 💛💙❤️

watched ep 4 of #PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians and y'all, the #Percabeth is percabethinnnnnng 😍

the holiday season is the best because that is when youtube creators start posting reactions to #RiseOfTheGuardians.

they are mistaken, because RotG is an easter movie, but i can give them a pass because that movie is underrated af and deserves all the love it can get, any time of the year.

major pet peeve of mine: the verb "to leak" has lost all meaning.

if the government accidentally released certain documents out of sheer ineptitude, they did not leak them. you may say that the documents leaked, but not that the government leaked them. those are two completely different things.

so i guess this is the signal for people to go all mockingjay on them. i'm sure suzanne would be proud of the people pushing back, if she weren't so busy headdesking at the news.

Timeline cleanse: please enjoy this panda eating breakfast at the Madrid zoo.

stand by me is one of my favorite movies of all time. add to that the princess bride, when harry met sally, misery, a few good men... we've truly lost an iconic filmmaker and an empathetic, principled spirit. 😢💔 #RIPRobReiner

i'm super excited for S3 of #PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians mostly because the titan's curse is my favorite of the #PJO books, but also because maybe then the creators on youtube will stop shitting on the movies every five seconds while reacting to the tv show episodes 🙄 #PercyJackson

(and also: "halo"? because all women are ✨ beautiful angels ✨ or something? smdh)

(we can enjoy stereotypically "girly" things AND enjoy sports coverage. we have the mental capacity to process those two things separately. the "girly" stereotypes are NOT why we watch your content, & the fact that sky doesn't know that is why this venture was so hopelessly misguided from the jump)

2. that they thought the way to gear sports coverage to women is with pink and glitter and labubus and hot male athletes rather than, oh, i don't know, actually including women in their existing coverage and covering more women's sports is... i can't even put into words how condescending that is

(which is stupid and ridiculous and offensive, because why can't men get just as much entertainment out of women commentators and women's sports? women have been enjoying men-led sports coverage and men's sports since... oh, that's right, since the dawn of fucking sports)

let's be clear here:

1. that they felt it necessary to create a brand-new outlet to cater to women & fans of women's sports rather than just giving women & women's sports more airtime on their main network means they feel if they do, they'll be alienating their main (or "real") audience, aka men

Sky Sports’ female-focused channel was condescending rubbish. Women deserve better Sky Sports’ Halo was meant to champion female athletes. Three days of pink subtitles, matcha references and focus on male athletes’ relationships later, the channel is gone.

the lengths traditional networks will go to avoid giving women equal airtime and representation. 🤦‍♀️ #SkySportsHalo

i just bought a body spray that i was so excited to use, but it turns out NOPE, i just wasted my money because there is no angle at which my fingers can actually press the nozzle with enough strength to get it to release. surely we can do better than this?

a plea from a person with a non-disabling, yet highly inconvenient, condition: surely we can come up with a way to make spray nozzles easier to press for people who deal with weakness or struggle with dexterity in their hands/fingers? in all areas: personal hygiene, kitchen, gen. maintenance...

(and no, i'm not just sharing this because she mentions gale from the hunger games and i agree 10000%)
