in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

there is a real “guy who has only seen the boss baby” aspect to TCW’s work. the 2020 protests appear to be his only frame
of reference for the world, and so everything must be made to fit into his (incredibly stupid) idea of what they were.

not that it will happen but at the very least any reporter who wrote about trump “distancing” from project 2025 owes their readers an explanation for why they published obvious lies

Hey @Chase, why isn't your Barclay Circle Branch
in Rochester Hills, MI complying with federal and
state orders to lower the flag in honor of Charlie
Kirk? You've had since Wednesday to lower it...

I went on a personal crusade around Hastings
and got several flags lowered. Had to have others
join me in getting the Hastings ACE Hardware to
lower theirs, they said "Lowering the flag would be
making a political statement." Before they finally
caved under the pressure.

A masterclass in introducing a bunch of superheroes (most of whom aren’t new to one another so nobody’s expositing) without it ever becoming confusing or crowded - though Gunn always has been good at that.

Enjoyed Superman a lot. Among other things demonstration of why sometimes you tell not show (4 short sentences to set up the world rather than the first 40 mins of the film) and also

A journalist with Canada’s public broadcaster was not allowed on the Canadian plane air dropping aid into Gaza because of Israeli restrictions.

When she made it onto a Jordanian plane, she was not allowed to film what she saw on the ground in Gaza because Israel forbids it from being shown.

“Iran needed to make kind of a symbolic response to the unprecedented invasion of its sovereign airspace by U.S. bombers and that’s what they did.”

Matt Duss joined @premthakker.bsky.social to discuss Iran’s response to US bombings ahead of Trump's announced plans for a ceasefire.

Trump wants you to believe that this is about Iran signing a nuclear deal - one he tore up in 2018! - but Israel just killed Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator who was telling US television just two weeks ago that Iran was open to a deal.

So happy to be getting back to Wars of Light and Shadow by Janny Wurts. One of the best most masterfully crafted fantasy sagas I've ever read.

I wish more of my friends read books. Half the time when I hang out I can't share the joy and fascination of the books I have been reading. It's so strange, sometimes I feel closeted, but in a reading hobby sense (corny I know), it's like I'm shutting away part of myself.

As N.H. moves to ban trans health care for kids, some families are preparing to leave — and some already have - The Boston Globe “Do we go to Europe or Canada or Mexico?” asked one New Hampshire mother with a transgender child. “Honestly, those are all on the list.”

The fight is real here in New Hampshire.

When I talk about journos like Azeen Ghorayshi using platforms like the NYT to make life harder for trans kids, it’s not a personal attack on Azeen, it’s me pointing out her personal attack on children and adults and their families.
