We watched on mute. :-/

I finally read The Wild Robot last month and could only think to myself, “oh shit, I read this about one year too late to actually enjoy a sweet tale of a robot and its animal friends.” :(

every character on The X-Files is in love with Scully, except Krycek, who is in love with Mulder, and this is the hill I will die on

Friend told me he doesn't like Superman because "he's such a morning person" and I really can't argue with that

If Same-Sex Marriage is Overturned An explainer for the worst case scenario.

"No, same-sex marriage will not entirely dissolve in the United States if Obergefell should be overturned, but it will be much, much more difficult for millions of LGBTQ families if that happens."

AP New headline: "Democrats fret about national fallout after Mamdani stuns in New York City"; photo shows a person in a ZOHRAN shirt with a sticker saying "DIDN'T RANK CUOMO"

Welcome to the backlash, bitches. #IHeartNY

Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Another remarkable view down 5th Avenue.

Tens of thousands united in saying no to Trump, no to ICE, no to fascism and #NoKings.

Okay, the straights played Pink Pony Club so they’re all right.

Hey, can someone please re-send the memo to the straights about not having a wedding on Tony Award Sunday?

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

And was it J/7? 🙏

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

a picture of a book text. The text says "Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek 'Kai su, teknon' (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin 'Et tu, Brute'. It literally means 'You too, child', but what Caesar may have intended by the words isnt clear. Tempest cites 'an important article' by James Russell (1980) 'that has often been overlooked'. Russel points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggest that Caesar's putative last words were not 'the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son' but more along the lines of 'See you in hell, punk'.

Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words

explaining service tops to Catholics like: you know who else made sacrifices so we could feel good?

Amazing how quickly he squandered that good will. My semester in Ireland was during 9/11 and there was only pure generosity of spirit and nothing even felt political (meaning partisan) yet. How quickly leaders can destroy international cooperation.

I was lucky to be able to kiss my grandma goodbye when she was in hospice. I always sleep with my phone on silent but it was strange leaving the ringer on that night and just waiting for the call from my aunt (which came at 11:12pm). Sending all good thoughts to you.

Gillian Anderson should have a six episode arc on every show.

Pennsylvania Superintendent of public schools on Abbot Elementary

Helena Eagan’s stepmom on Severance

Mayor of NYC on a crossover storyline for Law & Order and SVU

The Queen’s girlfriend on Bridgerton

This is so niche and I love it so much!! 😆

Yeah, struggling with that too. Clicking over to the Mutuals tab sometimes helps. And of course I did follow a bunch of bright political minds but I feel like I need to somehow cultivate two separate feeds for separate purposes…. Well, baseball’s coming.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Fun! :)

Glad if it helps! I’m kind of a nerd about this stuff so holler as needed! I like J.L. Collins’ Simple Path to Wealth approach (“VTSAX and chill”) but with a socially responsible bent. :)
