Whether it's conservatives assassinating State Senators in Minnesota or liberals refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz pierogis in Martha's Vineyard, both sides have taken incivility to an extreme.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Top ten things to beware in Shakespeare:

1. Ides of March
2. Jealousy
3. The rope's end
4. My sting
5. The Thane of Fife
6. Your beard

8. The foul fiend
9. An ass
10. Entrance to a quarrel

ICE budget now bigger than most of the world's militaries Donald Trump wants to inject $150 billion into his immigration crackdown over the next four years.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This bill was never only about eviscerating social services or enriching oligarchs, bad as that is. It’s also about using state power to build a private police force for the fascists—and spreading fear and destroying solidarity. Being brave and building solidarity is a big part of how we fight back.

Very glad to see this strong statement from the Association of Canadian Publishers. Thanks for speaking up for diverse books and inclusive public schools @cdnpublishers.bsky.social !

Me before a hike: fuck everyone, I hate my job, I hate my family, I want to walk into the woods and not come out

Me after a hike: the opportunity to help other people carry their pain and fear is a sacred gift, you should call your sister and let her vent about the wedding venue hunt

One reason "bury your gays" exists as a trope is because once upon a time (recently!), you could only avoid an indecency charge if your queer characters ended in tragedy.

Our celebration infuriates them, because they hate us.

Book characters can totally be gay!!! You just need to make sure the dog dies after the two boys kiss so it’s clear that what they did was very wrong!

YES: "The fight for inclusive schools and inclusive teaching materials, including books, is not over. It’s only just begun. And we need everyone in this fight."

The Supreme Court just imposed a “Don’t Say Gay” regime on every public school in America The Republican justices’ decision fundamentally altered how public schools must operate.

Absolutely wild that Alito specified that book characters can totally be gay, it just needs to not be “celebrated.”

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

We're on vacation in Star Trek The Next Generation. Picard is pictured sitting outdoors, chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool, and definitely not in uniform. There's some flowers behind him, and the vibe has a tropical resort feel. 🌴 He's wearing a robe but the robe is dangling open, and beneath that robe is a lot of skin. In the chestal region, there's a good bit of hair. Legs are crossed and he has a satisfied look of contentment on his face. Closed caption reads, "Ah."

Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years.

The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny.

One of the things I find so dismaying about the AI-ification of engagement with writing is that it’s not just anti-creativity, it’s anti-aesthetic. It’s violence against the power of language and words, against their capacity for every kind of beauty

photo of two pages of the New York Times, Sunday June 22: left page is aerial photos accompanying the headline “U.S. Joins War Against Iran, Bombing Its Key Nuclear Facilities,” a NYT ad headed “Innovating new story formats,” and right page is an ad comprised of the front page of the latest print issue of the Onion, headlined: “Congress, Now More than Ever, Our National Needs Your Cowardice”

here’s what the onion’s full page spot is running next to this morning

Wikipedia said that Rob Lowe was engaged at 21, and I was like “that’s some adhd behavior”

I googled “does Rob Lowe have adhd” and google AI was so eager to tell me yes he does and link to an article where Rob Lowe isn’t mentioned! The only Rob Lowe associated with ADHD is a doctor in Australia!!

Giordi @giohound.bsky.social Follow Btw, if you could download a car for free, you'd be pulled over like immediately for a variety of reasons. Lack of insurance, no registration, etc. and that can land you in big trouble.

Ahhhhh @nerdjpg.com • 9h Hey guys it's a good sign when pride stuff looks like this right (photo of some white as fuck underwear) ... C. McDade @cmcdade.bsky.social Follow You people are truly incorrigible. You want to know my life, every detail? Why? What's so interesting about me? My sexual history? I've had sex with both a man and a woman, not at the same time. Believe me or don't.

You gotta hand it to MAGA though, they wanted to cut down on border crossings so bad that they deliberately tanked their own country into a fascist, authoritarian shit hole that no one would want to come to.
