Photo of a TV screen showing the home screen of a smart tv with a small band of thumbnails of different shows and movies like Tracker and Zootopia 2 - above is a huge film still from the movie Dante’s Peak. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton are running from a car looking like Calvin Klein models and a man in a denim shirt is right behind them with his arms flailing above his head and his face is distorted in a mix of fear, indigestion, sunburn, and like he smelled something stinky.

Isn’t that the worst when you’re in a group photo and everyone posts the only one where your face looks like it’s six inches from a leaf blower?

It took him seeing that pursed lip pic to realize that he’s a middle-aged man that’s been drinking for a couple decades. Next time we see him? Lip fillers. I’d polymarket that.

The website irancost.com gives you a live look at what this war is costing.

In dollars, lives lost, cost at the pump.

Even more fascinating and infuriating is what else could have been done with that money.

My friend was telling me that her 9 year old students were talking about the awesome explosions they saw. All of the soundtracked war-glorifying shit they are putting out is for 9-22 year old boys. And that's not me being snarky. It's like part of their plan.

The enemy gets a vote. Iran is now delivering pain to Trump via multiple paths

Exactly this. There's a reason conservatives bang the drum for nuclear families and talk about a totally fictional time where everybody was in em. They're an oppressive training ground for patriarchal obedience.

I'm in a rural area. My teacher pals often talk about the 1 CPS agent that has served the area for over 20 years and waiting for retirement. There are so many kids that aren't protected.

Cracking up filling out the doc's pre-visit depression/anxiety screening questionnaire. Like, are these even valid in these times? "How many days this month have you had trouble relaxing?"

Photo: Close up of silky super plush medium-ish haired, pink-nosed white and black cowcat lying on her side on a dark grey blanket. She’s looking at the camera and her front paws are snuggly wrapped around her favorite fish feather toy. Just so happens that the golden brown feather really makes her gold green eyes pop.

Today is a good day to take what you love and squeeze it tight with your precious paws.

My news-to-cat pic ratio is way off. Let’s remedy the issue with a pic of the cutest lil hedge watcher you ever did see - soaking up the sudden spring day in the north. #CatSky #CowCat #CatsOfBlueSky #Hedgewatch

Meet Caterina Sforza and Other Warrior Queens History Forgot From Italy’s fortress-seizing countess to Angola’s battle-hardened Queen Njinga, these women didn’t back down from a fight.

"There have been times when we were researching women and their own sons destroyed statues of them and records of their accomplishments because they didn’t want their mother’s shadow hanging overhead."

It's too gross to hear the magas and pundits agreeing with T***p's attack on Iran from the comfort of their laptops. Maybe we propose legislation that American military action must be endorsed by at least 10% of the population taking to the streets to show their support.

Journalists are not talking enough about the hundreds of thousands of women & LGBTQ citizens whose lives have been upended by this administration. Coverage should at least be equal to the amount of think pieces and news segments about male loneliness.

Remember Bust, Bitch, Jezebel, and XOJane? Just some of women-led/focused media that we've lost over the past decade. Dame and The 19th are good, but don't have the same kinda chick moxie/interactive-ish feel that set the others male/corp news. What other sites and pubs are y'all reading?

Season 2 of Paradise is so riveting because it uses the same narrative equation that The Walking Dead did so well: Intimacy - technology + violence. Lots of post apoc shows use that equation
(Saw that equation on a blog a long time ago) but TWD had a perfectly weighted mix in its peak.

Doubt T***p is as worried about the assaulting a girl truth coming out as he is about all the election interference and stuff that will show he only got like ten Kid Rock concert audiences worth of votes in both elections.

They also saw it as a great way to keep men at the top of the hierarchy and to benefit from women's unpaid labor.

Founding Fathers is a grody religious sounding phrase. They're the founders. A group of wealthy land and human-owning guys who didn't really want everyone to vote.
