Cree reimagining of Macbeth makes Manitoba debut in Brandon | CBC News A reimagining of Macbeth — set in a time before colonization and rooted in the Cree worldview, language and tradition — is set to be performed on Treaty 2 territory for the first time this weekend.

"While the story draws loosely from Macbeth, it has been completely rewritten to elevate Cree perspectives and language."

Crazy how much damage Trump has inflicted in 167 days. Also, friendly reminder that at least 300,000 people died in Iraq, if not a million, so at least 30 times the worst estimates when the conflict started.

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade.

Screenshot of scene from the old game Oregon Trail. There is a green graphic on a black background. The graphic is of an ox pulling a wagon and below it is says YOU HAVE LISTENED TO RFK Jr.

ICE agents should be shunned out of polite society. When you meet someone and they tell you they work for ICE, you should recoil as if they told you they work at the puppy slaughter factory. Shame needs to mean something.

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.”

A sign that says "Hobbit Cafe: Legendary Food" and there's a spear pointing to the restaurant. It has the Bakski art style of Gandalf in blue robes and white beard. A sign reads: "Hobbit customers free parking entire lot!" and there's a tree in the background.

I'm a sucker for novelty restaurants.

The Hobbit Cafe in Houston, TX started in 1972 as a vegetarian restaurant under a spreading live oak.

They offer 'Second Breakfast' (brunch) on Sat. & Sun. The main menu offers Gollum’s Seafood Tacos, Radagast’s Mushroom Burger & Mirkwood Black Bean Burger.

I apologize for my profession which has been too indoctrinated in the Goldwater Rule to speak out that he shows multiple symptoms of cognitive inflexibility, personality disorder, impulsivity, erratic mood swings, word retrieval, memory issues & other problems that would warrant further evaluation

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

New Kids Series ‘Spirit Rangers’ Celebrates Indigenous People and Cultures “I love my culture, I’ve just never really seen it represented on-screen,” showrunner and creator Karissa Valencia says.

Did you know there's a Native kids show on Netflix?

Did you know its for *everyone*, cause most adults are at a preschool-level of familiarity with Indigenous people here?

Did you know that show just got nominated for a Peabody?! 😍

Then go watch "Spirit Rangers" on Netflix NOW! 😊

Elementary is my latest TV escape from reality. For example, in one episode, a Musk-type figure faced consequences for his actions, and Russians worked to stop warring with Ukraine. 10 years ago, what a crazy time!

If they’re arguing that Harvard hasn’t done enough “in the public interest” to deserve tax exempt status, wait until they get a look at evangelical megachurches!

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Col. Mustard’s murder of Dr. Black in the library with a candlestick faces a major legal challenge, as Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul seeks a restraining order barring Mustard "from any further murders"

As an American historian, I’d note that “truth” and “sanity” are not words we’ll be associating with the presidencies of Donald Trump

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

Did you know that most 18/19thC coastal plantations were located at places where the largest Indigenous towns once stood centuries earlier? A great example of how deep-time land use practices create legacies that drive future, cumulative human-ecosystem engagements. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Honestly, it was so thoughtful for all the Trump folks to make stupid denials on camera yesterday — some under oath! — so this revelation would land so much harder.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.

It was … two days ago.
