Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

"Why do you care so much about DC and Superman?"

Because I saw something when the Gunn movie came out, a real shift in opinion on Superman and what he means in a 2020's world. It spoke to a world we lived in and I started to see more people be like "maybe we should be kinder".

If it's true that Paramount is taking over WB, get ready for a Pro-Trump Superman.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

A lot of the stupid and toxic things about the world in which we currently live can be traced back to the philosophy of WIN OR FAIL and it is refreshing to see a legendary world champion caliber athlete tell that entire worldview to go fuck itself

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

US Politicians are very happy to keep framing the Epstein files as partisan. Because it shifts the focus from the real issue.

This was never about politics. It’s about mainly rich, white, powerful men believing they could do whatever the hell they wanted and get away with it.

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...
