I love finding the occasional early-to-mid 1950s crossovers between early UFOlogy publications and then-current sf movies. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL as cover graphic; WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE as illos for interior article illo-fodder.

Timeline cleanse: Insta video of Allen Dershowitz being told by Martha's Vineyard police to stop harassing vendors or be charged with trespassing after three different sellers refused him service. 1/3

who's got a dollar on "Hegseth renaming ships is going to be done without proper adherence to tradition to avoid bad luck and the sailors are gonna be pissed/the sea is going to eat some more planes about it"?

I honestly do not know - was this a parody article? Whether or not it was, and as British as it was, it clearly is being served fresh and sparkling from the Irony district of France.

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

Not only that, but why are they now covering their faces like death squads? Do they not want neighbors to know? Are they ashamed?

"I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fascism." --something Lillian Hellman might say if she were around in 2025. historymatters.gmu.edu/d/6454

Spoke on the phone with my aunt who said two (US citizen) friends came back from Canada over Ambassador Bridge, were redirected to a parking structure with about 35 other cars, and their entire car was searched and CPB went so far as to go through their CHECKBOOKS

Texans-there are two bills aiming to set up age restrictions for public libraries! Contact your House Rep!

@seananmcguire.bsky.social ky.social I just read through your personal list of responses, which made me honor and respect you even more as a person and a writer. I am awkward and terrible at this, but thank you for all of the amazing work over the years.

I just always wonder how much debauchery those wood panelled walls witnessed over the years.

Why the Marlin when you could eat the pizza while walking and make it to the Cathedral Bar on 111th?

Ms. Simone (apologies if you use an honorific that is different) - everyone is, of course, entitled to their opinion, but I stand with Jon Steward on this vital issue.

Every. Single. Time. I feel like we've hit a real bottom level - nothing but bedrock now. One of these assholes says something, the ground splits open, and here we are, surrounded by mole people and Sleestacks.

I went back to Twitter to verify this is real. My God.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic

Quitting twitter for bluesky

Oh my...laughing so hard...can't catch my breath! Is it that they don't think that archives exist or that anyone still living (like myself) was alive back then?

Bloody hell, Thomas Aquinas was massive. I think he's the only kaiju to have been a Doctor of the Church.

For those who don't know, driving an 18-wheeler is the #1 job in *more than half of all states*. The will turn into a sort of kitchen table calamity the likes of which this country has never known. Also, because so many of them are technically self-employed, their access to benefits will be minimal.

Val Kilmer @valkilmer Follow I once tickled Lou Reed. I regretted it for the longest while as he spoke to me few times after that dinner. But I'm glad now. He needed it. 11:33 PM • 10/28/13

RIP Val Kilmer

Boebert: If I may continue — is it true you are the head of a “modern Stone Age family?”

Morley: Again, I think you’re confusing…

Theres a headline from the 1930s for every single thing happening here today

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

Maureen Cleave describing the Rolling Stones to Evening Standard readers in 1964. I think this is my favourite passage in all music writing. It's packed with detail and tension, but nothing is unnecessary.

Rejection is Protection every single time. Quote: "May the bridges we burn light our way."

Let them be mad.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
Let them ignore you.
Let them be right.
Let them doubt you.
Let them hate you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.

But never let them make you question your worth.
