A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER: It's definitely geared to the YA crowd (which is what the source novel is), and the main character is naive to the point of annoyance, but, the mystery itself is super compelling and the last 2 eps are wild.

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name.

And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request.

See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

In response to RFK Jr., Pritzker to sign first in nation executive order protecting autism data The governor's office said the executive order is in response to rising concerns about efforts to create federal autism registries or databases without legal safeguards or accountability.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday plans to sign an executive order to restrict the mass collection and sharing of autism-related data for Illinois residents, in response to the countryโ€™s top health secretaryโ€™s rhetoric around the cause of autism.

Nothing says teacher appreciation like gutting the Department of Education and firing half of the people that make the agency run.

Skill issue. If us minorities can make it through life being treated how we are without turning into Nazis, then privileged lil white boys can do it too. Zero excuses. Dudes become alt-right because they're weak little assholes with no morals or ability to make decisions for themselves.

Pritzker: Itโ€™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 donโ€™t know how to organize a group chat. Itโ€™s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of childrenโ€™s cancer researchโ€ฆ Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society donโ€™t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members donโ€™t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they canโ€™t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

ABBOTT ELEMENTARY S4: Some shows fall off when the leads get together, but Abbott only got better. Not only that, but Ava's character growth (also hi O'Shon), Melissa + Sweet Cheeks, An Always Sunny crossover, and a whole ep of the gang at a karaoke bar? What more do you need?

WHITE LOTUS S3: The darkest, most fucked up season yet, also probably the most pessimistic - the innocent suffer and strongly held morals/beliefs crumble. I loved it. (Yes I'm v sad but the storytelling was so good.) Having the strongest cast of all 3 Seasons definitely helped.

This aged like milk.

Donald Trump's weaponization of the tax system is illegal and a threat to every person who works hard and plays by the rules.

Why aren't Republicans in Congress speaking out now? Grow a spine.

The reason people are more upset at Target than they are Walmart or Amazon is because Target went out of their way to make people to think they cared about and supported diversity and inclusion.

They made a business decision, and so did we.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, itโ€™s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Maine officials wonโ€™t comply with the Trump administration's trans athlete ban The administration said earlier this month that the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principalsโ€™ Association and a high school are each in violation of Title IX because of the participation of trans athletes.

School officials in Maine say they will not comply with a proposed agreement from President Trumpโ€™s administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girlsโ€™ sports.
