I 🩡 Tom Ellis way too much to continue watching the premiere episode of C.I.A.

First few minutes in incredibly poor taste (why Radiohead, why?). Followed by however many other minutes of cliches I managed to slog through.

But yay for a few J. Sisto moments.

What's important about this story is the newly revealed fact that Donald Trump's personal lawyers are sifting through the Epstein Files and determinedly removing only those pages that could potentially inculpate their client. That's consciousness of guilt writ cartoonishly large.

While the Newlyn and St Ives artist colonies in Cornwall are well documented, in the late 19th and for much of the 20thC, Polperro was also considered a leading art centre, described as β€˜the haunt of half the artists in Britain,' including, as here, Jack Coburn Witherop.

But as a promotional tool? Video can expose marginalized people to more bigotry -- and can work in biased way against less traditionally "attractive" people in its effectiveness, a bias that might express itself through racism, sexism, ageism, and ableism.

Principal sided with the teacher.

AMC Theatres Grapples With Nearly 10 Percent Attendance Drop In Latest Quarter The mega-exhibitor saw its net loss edge lower to $127.4 million as it looks to better Hollywood box office in 2026.

Okay, but if it’s nearly impossible to successfully purchase tickets on your site, then maybe people will watch the movies somewhere else? Cause getting charged for tickets you didn’t receive is not cool.

Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor
Hello Friends of Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor! Many of our neighbors in Minneapolis are being targeted based on the color of their skin, their accent, or their country of origin. From a healthcare standpoint, this is leading to very scary outcomes, as patients are terrified to leave home and are foregoing necessary care in an effort to stay safe. For moms and babies, medical professionals scramble to meet these needs and to ensure patient safety. As neighbors and community members, we want to ensure these moms and babies have their needs met in terms of supplies, personal care items, and infant and toddler items. While it's a far cry from a baby shower, we are doing our best to ensure that our neighboring mamas have what they need in times of massive distress. All items purchased on this list will be delivered to me and then immediately sent out into the community for maximum impact. On behalf of all the mama and baby teams, we so appreciate your love and generosity.

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurityβ€”ICE has not stoppedβ€”families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid

Tourism is down in the U.S. under Trump, while globally it is up.

Kristi Noem turned DHS into something that is FUBAR and tourists are scared to come.

A British woman was shackled and slept on floor of cell for six weeks even though she had a valid visa.

Noem must resign.
