Imagine if newspapers instead wrote something like, "According to police, the suspect tried to hit the officers with his car. In 35 out of 37 statements issued by this department over the past 5 years, police gave false initial statements, later contradicted by their own bodycam footage."

george hardy flew in for the premiere and the crowd is going nuts over him ❤️

seated and ready for the local premiere of the movie my partner worked on this year 🍿 capacity is 160 and the place is PACKED

i made a helpful reference

sorry to spoil the joke but stratton-porter was one of the first naturalists to decide that photographing birds to study them was better than killing them to study them. ornithology owes her a tremendous debt but she is basically ignored because she was a woman and a popular novelist

The front cover of the upcoming book. The base illustration is by Paul Stahr and shows a dark-haired white man in a rowboat, rescuing a blonde white woman from a river. (She's still half in the water, looking up at him, and their arms are around each other in a nice, classic clinch.) At the top is the title "The Best of ALL-STORY Love," with "ALL-STORY" in the magazine's classic red font. At the bottom is the year "1929," and then below that, in much smaller type, is "Edited and with an introduction by Lucynka Staron."

We have cover reveal!!! Coming soon: THE BEST OF ALL-STORY LOVE: 1929, an anthology of romance pulp fiction from that magazine's first year. #romancelandia #booksky 📚💙

it feels almost too timely and it’s probably pta’s most personal film. you can feel his anger and fear infused into it

‘one battle after another’ is an astonishing film. i almost had a panic attack in the first 5 minutes. by the time the credits rolled i was dancing in my seat.

around 626,000 birds passed over my county last night - and that's actually quite a low number compared to the peak of fall migration !

Texas State fires professor accused of trying to incite political violence in video Thomas Alter is the second professor in the state to be terminated for allegedly violating university policy after a video was posted on social media.

Another professor in Texas is fired, this time after a selectively edited video of a talk he gave was posted on X, with the bogus claim that he was inciting violence www.texastribune.org/2025/09/10/t...

The second this Texas A & M story broke I said to a friend “we’re going to quickly learn that this student is the child of some county GOP chair.” I was close. Of course the entire episode was not spontaneous, but was part of a PR stunt that’s now ruined several people’s lives.

Good news! A judge has thrown out most of the Cop City RICO indictment! Georgia’s AG lacked authority to bring Counts 1 & 3, accounting for most of the defendants. The state will appeal & a subset of defendants still face terrorism charges, but this win is something to celebrate.
