A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

It must be so difficult to be into casually collecting Pokémon cards rn. I feel like I blinked and the GameStop stocks people took over the hobby

Rip and tear until it is done? No, shred and grind until it is fun, dude 🙂🤙

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

They are destroying what SHE built.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

An that may mean you have an allergy to something in the chocolate

Three vampire women loom over a man laying on an antique sofa. The woman in the middle reaches towards his face with a clawed hand. An ornate border with fang motifs at the corners decorates the piece.

“I suppose I must have fallen asleep; I hope so, but I fear, for all that followed was startlingly real…”

A scene from Euripides The Bacchae in black, white, and red. Pentheus kneels on the ground with his arms restrained by two women who appear ecstatic. One drags a long dagger along his neck and his face appears distressed. Six other women watch joyfully with their arms raised, one kneeling beside Pentheus and the others standing. A black dog trots at their feet. Branches of a tree spread in the background and vines of grapes make up a border.

Had to watch this again after seeing Paula Pell in Dying For Sex. Iconic, underrated, one of the best

"why didn't I see any leftists celebrating the ceasefire"

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

A screenshot of a DHS tweet. That says they’re not sending their best. The saying is repeated over a person in all black wearing gas mask and goggles, linking in arms with people next to them. A mass of people are behind them.

This person is straight up staring down dudes in fatigues and military gear. In the end, they’ll be on the right side of history and the nazi who runs the DHS social media account will remain an unfuckable basement dweller.

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

It would be funny if Everything is Romantic started charting again

Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses.

Our correspondent Bruno Gilga was kidnapped when Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla.. We demand his release and the release of all those who were kidnapped for trying to break the siege on Gaza!

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."

LOL

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

“A war framing confuses the issue. This is not a war,” former Pentagon lawyer Sarah Harrison explained. “U.S. forces went out and committed murder.”

WHAT THE HELL

Refreshing my city’s subreddit to make sure no one uploaded footage of a fight that broke out in front of my job because several people were filming it and it felt ghoulish
