It's going to cost money for these teens to defend themselves in court. There's a GoFund Me to help: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Provision in the SAVE act that would remove women from voter rolls if the last name they're registered under doesn't match their last name at birth.

The man accepted $20,000 in a paper bag in an FBI sting operation. Wtf do you mean a "true law enforcement professional"?

you know that part in "shawshank redemption" where andy dufresne finally gets a check for the prison library after years of sending a letter a week and the screw asks if he'll stop now and he says no, now I'll send two letters a week? that's where we are now. double down.

Audiobooks are great, but could we maybe get some captions?

Keeping the powder dry has never been his forte. Being a lame duck before year two doesn't help.

@majorityreport.bsky.social the 60 Minutes CECOT piece apparently aired in Canada. Thread describing it.

Some people are so avowedly anti-vax that no outbreak, no matter how deadly, will move them. But there's also a not insignificant number of anti-vaxxers who will be moved by the the inevitable outcome of their behavior. The frustrating part is there's no mechanism for accountability.

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

It also makes a great holiday gift for the person in your life who thinks "what if this entire forsaken world was totally different, and also yet somehow simply an increased space for the blessed life that already exists, only freer and less condemned to the hell of self-regard"

88 likely not an accident when said during a racist rant about a population of Black people. Wouldn't be surprised if SStephen Miller fed him that number just on the off chance he would say it on TV.

Getting whiplash reading the father say his only concern is for his son's well-being followed immediately by noting he hasn't spoken with his mother since she was disappeared. Ghouls and cowards.

Naming Aragorn's horse Brego, for instance. It's inaccurate, but it's also an homage that can only change from a deep familiarity with Tolkien's material. I think the importance of that becomes clear when looking at the JJ Abrams star trek movies, for instance.

Now that I've refamiliarized myself w the books, I'm reminded of how many changes Peter Jackson made when making the films. A lot of them make sense, I can quibble with more than one, but these movies are still perfect. And Jackson so clearly respects the stories and world.
