this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

if you think about it, tracking the emissions from the puffs themselves implies a huge undercount. after all if I don't take them I will literally die, a huge amount of avoided emissions

They're really on a mission to make you feel like you're responsible for climate change if you need meds to breathe. Tell you what, reduce some of the billionaires to not being billionaires to help greenhouse gasses & we'll keep staying alive with our inhalers.

In this case, ADF β€œcited several scholars to support its argument that conversion practices should once again be permitted. Two of those experts, however, told the Guardian that ADF had β€˜profoundly’ misrepresented their research, which discussed the β€˜psychological damage’ of conversion therapy.’”

THIS feels incredibly toxic after the behaviour of Bsky leadership this last week.

How often do I see toxicity?
I see Palestinians get deleted for asking for help.
I see sex workers harassed.
I see Jewish people brigaded.
I see trans people put on irl watchlists.
I see white supremacists lauded.

Towards the end oh [Rec]Β² I got to musing on the crone in art. The crone as the epitome of nasty horror shapes: long-titted and long-haired, hunched and mottled with age. She represents death but at the same time, we should be lucky to live so long that we're hunched and mottled with age.

Moving on to [Rec]Β³, obviously a very different movie than the 1-2 duo.

Still found footage. A gorgeous wedding. A bitten hand. Let's see what we shall see at the reception!

Ooooop I'm losing it a little bit towards the ending here. It's not humans v zombies anymore.

This fight seems deeply unnecessary.

I just got Criterion! Off you think it's any good, I'll put it on after my run of all the [Rec] series.

Christian group β€˜deceived’ supreme court about LGBTQ+ research, cited scholars say Exclusive: Experts say Alliance Defending Freedom, arguing to revive conversion therapy, β€˜profoundly misrepresented’ their work in case threatening trans and queer youth

β€œYou cannot offer false evidence, and if you do so accidentally and find out, you have to correct that … They claim our work supports conversion therapy when our work clearly and specifically condemns conversion therapy on the same page they’re citing.”

I'm not a huge fan of the well-spoken possessed zombie who's afraid of the cross. I prefer the screaming mindless ones.

Oh jeez. There's zombies everywhere.

Watching with informed eyes this time, I can say that the lore isn't completely fleshed out. Does being shot in the head kill them? Slow them down?

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.
