I always miss the tingly parts of the New Testament. So embarrassing. 🤦🏻 (does that emoji count as the depiction of a trans person? 😬)

There are things in that post are truly disgusting but I can connect the bigoted dots but then it’s just…”huh?” ASMR? What is the opposition there?

"depictions of transgender people" is not leaving my head any time soon

Looks like this Captcha system has never seen a Meow Mix commercial or heard Guster's "Carol of the Meows"

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats are now appearing in Google search results.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

Honestly? Needs a commentary track or at least a featurette featuring Paul Rudd and Conan O'Brien.

Georgia High School Shuts Down 'The Crucible' Production After Parents Complain It's 'Demonic' Oh, the irony...

Isn't it ironic? 🎶

hey everyone, wanna watch my tv show “the middleman”
on streaming with no added charges?

TV needs previouslies again. I don't care if it's a Netfix show I'm supposed to binge in one sitting, if I wanna skip it I can, but I'd rather have that refresher at the top. And the kids these days need to know "Duncan Kane –– he used to be my boyfriend."

Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry.

The end.

What the Assault on Public Education Means for Kids with Disabilities The future of the Department of Education may hinge on the world views of two billionaires who abhor what they perceive as weakness and waste.

Gutting the Department of Education would deliver a terrible blow to public schools, and have an immediate and tangible impact on students with disabilities.

Tonight I learned that film is made with animal by-product? I don't know how I made it 37 years without this knowledge.

The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

This grim Orwellian development is of a piece with the “Gulf of Mexico” nonsense but more ominous. First, they demand some words and forbid others. Next, they’ll try telling us what to think.

Tru Calling is also on DVD but hard to find (at least at a reasonable enough price)

3) Wonderfalls (Very good Bryan Fuller show similar to his others like Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, or non-Bryan Fuller shows that came after like Kevin [Probably] Saves the World that was *very* similar but it was god and not inanimate animals.) - Thankfully I have that one on DVD.

What are some shows that should be easier to find on streaming or physical media? I'll start!

1) Jack & Bobby (This series is a masterpiece. Cancelled but stands well on its own.)
2) Tru Calling (Post-Buffy Eliza Dushku paranormal mystery-of-the-week that isn't exactly Great but it's fun.)

Analysis | The White House’s wildly inaccurate claims about USAID spending Eleven out of 12 claims about the agency’s work are misleading, wrong or lack context.

Musk is rumored to spend $40M on Super Bowl ads with his wildly distorted claims attacking USAID. Don’t believe them.

And I'll unpack the reality in this 🧵, too. 1/13

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.

They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

Pay attention.

Billy Wilder directed Sabrina. His mother, grandmother, and stepfather were all murdered in the Holocaust.

I feel so cliche saying anything off Purple Rain? Including the track itself, but that's prob it. And "Let's Go Crazy." But then I also love "Sometimes It Snows In April," "Partyup" and "Raspberry Beret." Ugh Prince is so good and I hate that it took me until after his death to really get into him.

What's a good movie for someone completely uninitiated with the works of David Lynch (other than his short role in The Fabelmans)? Particularly his most accessible?

Everything has a bit of lag. Including some VPNs that I imagine are being absolutely flooded.

So did the whole internet crash because of TikTok or is Verizon just being a little b-word right now?
