#FantasticFour director Matt Shakman confirmed with Jack Kirby's son that The Thing would be a Brooklyn Dodgers fan ⚾️

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marksβ€”it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Transphobia is infuriating AND self-defeating. If you're AFAB, you're going to go through menopause...HRT has been a lifesaver for me. It may even stave off dementia!

If HRT is banned for trans folks, think it'll be easy for us cis folk to access it?

A little solidarity just might save YOUR life.

I’d pull my stars the hell out of this baseball game. Acuňa Jr shouldn’t sniff the field. Elly, stay inside my guy.

To which I would only add: this whole discourse is the mirror image of what society tells women.

When men are involuntarily celibate: it's undeserved and a social crisis.

When women are involuntarily celibate: women are "too picky" and DESERVE to be lonely. Hence the "cat lady" discourse.

If this baseball game starts at midnight ET I take it back. That’s the kind of mess I can get behind.
