"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard

It’s amazing to see Gavin Newsom, Rahm Emanuel, etc running the same playbook that has Labour in shambles here and people refuse to see how it’ll play out just the same.

I just can't vibe with that show but I always look forward to the Trixie and Katya review.

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake

And a happy year of the whores to you all

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.

When we played I had watched a playthrough too! James got to be surprised and I got to 🤐

“NEAR THIS SPOT CAPT. JAMES COOK MET HIS DEATH FEBRUARY 14, 1779” — A brick laid in the waters of Kealakekua Bay, Kona district, Hawaiʻi

Happy Death of James Cook day to those who celebrate. On 14 February 1779 British explorer Captain James Cook was killed as he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii, and hold him hostage for the return of a cutter which Hawaiians had stolen.

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

Thank you, EBU. This is what it means to be United By Music - us all laughing at you because your tour got cancelled. ❤️

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Legal LDF Pingts Fund Read a PDF of our statement here. Today, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) announced it reached a settlement on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) challenging the U.S. Department of Education's anti-opportunity "Dear Colleague Letter," related "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) document, certification requirement, and EndDEl portal. The lawsuit alleged that the Department sought to prohibit and chill lawful efforts to ensure equal educational opportunities for Black students, and that its guidance rested on a legally flawed interpretation of Title VI and the Equal Protection Clause. Prior on April 24, 2025, LDF and the NAACP successfully secured a preliminary injunction against the certification requirement. The settlement follows the Trump Administration's decision to vacate its appeal in a related challenge. As part of the settlement, the Education Department agreed that it will no longer rely on the "Dear Colleague Letter" or its certification requirement, nor will it attempt to enforce or reinstate them under a different name. The Department also agreed not to use their "End DEl" portal or related FAQ document. The settlement also preserves the NAACP's preliminary injunction win, which recognized students' right to receive information free from vague prohibitions. The settlement affirms Black students' right to equal opportunity in classrooms and extracurricular activities, including access to inclusive and accurate curricula, selective programs, affinity groups, and policies that foster a sense of belonging.

Every uni/college that caved proven as craven cowards

“…DOE agreed…it will no longer rely on the "Dear Colleague Letter" or its certification requirement, nor will it attempt to enforce or reinstate them under a different name…DOE also agreed not to use their "End DEl" portal or related FAQ doc.”

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

AI outsources your thinking at the cost of the planet you live on. It is a tool of the enemy and an existential threat.

Hope this helps

This is a very good point

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza.

This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

I'm sorry I can't stop thinking "all democrats know how to do is fund police, do means test and lie" on repeat now

Perfect baby angel

i left the church and have nothing to do with it anymore but something happens when i see priests and pastors and rabbis and imams and sikhs at protests going so hard in mega harsh conditions i get choked up. this is how all of that is supposed to be. that's what all of that is supposed to be for.

This is the key thing that white commenters keep refusing to understand or at least acknowledge: "can we just team up until the fascism is over" isn't cool to say when half the people saying it don't mean the part where YOU are in constant danger, just the part where THEY are in danger.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Kym, you don't understand how much I mourn the time the astros were in the nl and also they were bad.

Together we will send them bad vibes 🧙🏽

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I hope they do well next season (even if it will certainly be at the expense of my Angels)
