How do you prefer people reach out to you? I could possibly pass your info to a couple people and see if they're comfortable speaking.

I'll personally vouch for Grace. She'll represent you and your family with integrity and discretion.

Things are really scary and sad. I'm sorry, Abby. Take care of yourself!

I mean, I can think of at least three minorities off the top of my head they can and do talk like this about.

In a recent interview, Cillian Murphy officially spoke out about the reports that he has been cast as Voldemort in HBO's #HarryPotter TV series:

β€œI’m categorically not. Can you make that the headline?”

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including β€œbiological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

It's wild that a movie from the 80s that involves addiction to CRTs and an obsession with VHS cassettes is also one of the most evocative movies about life on the internet.

The screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, the screen is reality, and reality is less than the screen.

Two critically acclaimed box office powerhouses going head to head in awards season from the same studio that is months away from closing up shop and going extinct. The entertainment industry is terminally ill. #sagawards #awardsseason

God, the power of doing exactly one mind-numbingly sexy dance for your partner... unquestionable. Tom Holland bagged someone so far out of his league, he should be sending Rihanna a check every month they're married.

so the podcast that Platner went on as a guest last month and called himself a β€œlongtime fan” of isn’t just antisemitic, it’s also full of anti-Black racism and promoted the racist and xenophobic GOP attacks on Somali immigrants in Minneapolis?

You know how you know 60 Minutes and the US Government are lying about Iran having nuclear weapons?

You don't invade countries who have nuclear weapons.

This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.

it’s wild how everyone hates Fetterman (correctly) and there’s a guy running who’s basically holding a huge I’m The Next Fetterman sign and it hasn’t slowed him down at all

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

I care, because I care about the safety and dignity of my Jewish spouse and my Jewish family and my Jewish friends. Pretending that Islamophobia and antisemitism must be at odds with each other is itself antisemitism. Keep posting through it though.

The Kit Kat Klub is so funny in this version, alternating between Liza Minelli doing the most beautiful song and dance numbers and then also kaleidoscopic nightmare numbers led by the most sinister Emcee on the planet.

Rewatching Fosse's CABARET after seeing a stage version yesterday, and I straight-up do not believe that Liza Minelli's Sally Bowles would not have been the biggest star on the planet, haha.
