Please feel free to cite the Deep Magic to me! I was there when it was written so I love talking about it :)

Man speaks to killer from beyond the grave in Arizona courtroom through Al video An Al video of Christopher Pelkey forgave his killer in court in what officials believe was the first use of Al to deliver a victim impact statement.

no he didn't that's not him what the fuck is wrong with you freaks

new gender neutral greeting just dropped

A shot from The Simpsons episode "The Day the Violence Died." Itchy the mouse encounters an Irish stereotype in a black-and-white New York landscape. "Look out Itchy, he's Irish!" Milhouse says.

captain america: thanks to dr doom meddling with the multiverse, we all now exist across multiple timelines

frasier: so you're saying i could take my date to la boheme AND attend niles' dinner party at the same time...

abundantly clear that this administration takes “discrimination” to mean “any regard for minority communities” and treats “merit” as a synonym for “white (and preferably male)”

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

The amount of Beautiful Mind math being done to explain away an obvious Nazi salute is really amazing. It's all backwards, too. You don't have to "know what's in someone's heart" to interpret a Nazi salute, the Nazi salute is there *to communicate to you* what is in the person's heart

I'm coming to the frightening conclusion that utter ideological disregard for the Constitution and desensitization to corruption are both so widespread in the American political class at this point that a lot of Democrats genuinely do not see what everyone's so freaked out about right now.

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/

Doesn’t really feel like the Xmas season until we’re blasting Christmas Unicorn in the car in Dallas🎄🦄

Gus and Joel: Nobody wants to see this

Broadcasters calling the OSU/Michigan fight an “ugly scene” and clutching pearls as they proceed to train all cameras on it for several minutes, suuuuure.

Saw a TikTok wellness influencer suggest boiling your raw milk last night and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since

An Oklahoma / USC matchup in a stupid, 3rd rate bowl game would be the funniest possible outcome for everyone involved. The bad vibes would be strong enough to power America's clean energy future.

Rushing fields early is what Sooners do historically

“Fundamentalist Christians have constructed God in a way that co-signs and corroborates the existence of systemic inequality” - this creator does an excellent job of synthesizing this in a way that really connected for me, had to share.

good meme i saw

See the problem with this is I have a place to mindlessly scroll again. 😬

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Seems like they should just stop making these things??

DS9 holiday special scene. Weyoun is pictured in mid-thought. He has large and long ribbed ears that stretch further down the face than earth humans, aligning more with the jaw line, and have horizontal ridges up and down. Closed caption reads, "Oh, ho, ho, ho."
