I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

you think you've seen the whole movie, and then the alt text reveals you haven't even finished act two

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️

Congratulations, everyone, we’re in the best Flavor Flav timeline.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

Bravo for “Andrew formerly known as as prince”. Hadn’t seen that anywhere else and it’s so perfect!

My 17 year old does this as well. The above board excuse is as a battery saving measure, but below board my assumption is that she does this specifically to make it harder for me (and anyone) to see what’s on her screen, as if I’m really dying to see it.

These are both albums recorded in a live setting and made up with mostly new songs never before released as studio recordings.

Jane’s Addiction’s self-titled debut album, which was recorded live, will result in this level of discussion when we get around to 1987.

And when we get to 2023 in twenty or so years, the Black Country, New Road album Live at Bush Hall must be considered as well.

“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

New rule: any time the NYTimes (or anyone really) quotes AOC in a poor light, instead of reposting that shit and expressing our incredulousness about it, make a post quoting her brilliance. I’ll happily repost that AOC-positive post any day of the week.

But the Best of XXXX series is not and was never about what the opinion of anyone was in the year these albums came out. If we all voted the way we felt in the years the albums came out, these brackets would be VASTLY different.

Of all of these (I defaulted to Amber when I first read this question), Dan Piraro is most surprising. Maybe I knew this once upon a time, but I’m genuinely glad to find out this tiny bit of info.

Bob Hartley is immortal (R.I.P. Bob Newhart), and Dick Loudon never existed.

Saw Se7en and The Usual Suspects back to back on the same day in 1995.

Pure joy. I will watch this over and over.

Learned from my doctor that if you were born in some handful of years in the mid to late seventies, the FDA recommended a course of childhood vaccines that wasn’t optimally effective then switched back. As such, if you’re 50ish, you need to get your antibodies checked. I needed a new vax.

What about Juno’s A FUTURE LIVED IN PAST TENSE? Did that get only the two votes I assumed it was getting?
