A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch.

Why?

Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes.

"Efficiency."

The fandom podcast I listen to made me sad by reminding me of Jessica and Trish in season 3 ☹️ and someday I will have to re-obtain all the disappointing Defenders seasons because deleting things is against my religion

I still believe strongly in "when they go low, we go high" as long as "high" means "finally sign onto the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court and see that they are prosecuted for war crimes and human right violations"

it's the last day of the month on Netflix (and Hulu and HBO Max) so I am watching a movie that is basically about "what if Superman was evil when he was a preteen"

I texted my group chat when Trump lost the tariffs Supreme Court decision that he was definitely going to act out by striking Iran to save his ego. It’s wild that the decision to start a war can come down to the whims of one emotionally unstable, narcissistic, sundowning man

only thing weirder than this was when Constance Marie and Ana Ortiz were both voice actors on the same show except I recognized them both right away then

Just realized that the actress who was the voice of Shadow Weaver also played Lena's mother on The Fosters, only because I'm currently watching a third show she was in and it suddenly hit me, possibly only because I was turned away from the screen

“parental rights” is such an ugly freedom. It’s the freedom of parents to abuse children, to limit what their children learn to their own prejudices, and to keep domestic violence and sexual abuse a secret in the home

also now I pretend that the Tori episodes are because Kelly and Jessie both left to be exchange students in the second half of their senior year which is why no one knew where Kelly was going to college

*sigh* guess I'd better get it over with....this became slightly less soul-crushing when I investigated the actual timeline of Saved by the Bell and realized that Zack and Kelly never got back together even once before they got engaged at the end

Tonight, the world's most famous rapist and alleged pedophile will deliver up to three hours of a propaganda show to rally his base and convince them that the benefits of voting for him outweigh revealing all the child sex trafficking crimes. That's what tonight is about.

nooo I started rewatching New Girl but now I'm up to Mars Landing already 😭

I'm rewatching s5 yet again because of how few rewatches I did when I thought I would never get to keep the episodes, if half the people at the underwater party were chipped why did Mermista and Seahawk have to tie so many of them up to avoid being revenged against for all the fires...

still haven't decided between Netflix-first or order of highest priority but luckily Sense8 is an overlap

I have a complete set of She-Ra episodes now just in time!....now for all the other shows I have to do or redo, starting next weekend

Save money this Valentine's Day by being unlovable

there was absolutely nothing more weird/depressing than randomly seeing James Van Der Beek in one episode of a show i just started watching exactly one day after finding out he died (and I never even cared a ton about him like with other people)

The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else.

The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one.

Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?

Bluesky finally has drafts! now I will be unstoppable

(...this was possibly confusing, only my mother is dead)

(I'm terrible because I couldn't think of anything else to say because I don't know what it's like to be at all relieved, but also my relationship with my parents (including my mother) was extremely un-awesome so I still have guilt about only being sad sometimes)

Just saw this, I'm so sorry. *hugs*

I made a list but I'm torn between "order of importance" and "everything from the same website first" as the schedule plan (if only they were all still on Netflix...)

Puppy Bowl tomorrow so I can't continue yet but I finished 'archiving' She-Ra s4 today and next weekend is a 3-day weekend so I still win....and the new setup is actually high quality enough that I don't have to use the highest possible file size...so I have to redo everything before continuing....

yeah (worse for you though ☹️☹️☹️)

A flyer offering in-home veterinary services for those unable to leave their home due to ICE

Please share widely

oh no 😩 (I have to keep having them but so far it's just because of family history)

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

And how much to pay people to fill the theaters and write fake positive reviews?

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??”

Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔

Rights are gone under this regime.
