If you give a man a match, he’ll be warm for a minute. If you set a man on fire, he’ll be warm for the rest of his life. Video games, cooking, motorcycles, witchcraft. She/Her

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Federal workers not entitled to back pay after shutdown, budget office claims Federal workers may not be entitled to back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration’s budget office wrote in a new draft memo obtained by The Washington Post, ratcheting up te...

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown.

This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Robin Williams’ Daughter Tells Fans to ‘Stop Sending Me AI Videos of Dad’: It’s ‘Gross’ and ‘Not What He’d Want’ Zelda Williams tells fans not to send her AI recreations of father Robin Williams, calling them "gross."

Zelda Williams: “And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line”

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

The Supreme Court’s First Blockbuster Case This Term Looks Pretty Fake On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case that seeks to undo a major triumph of the LGBTQ+ movement.

To be clear, ADF cooked up a case with fake facts, distorted medical research and fabricated harms to be able to gain the constitutional right to torture LGBTQ children.

That's what they want to do, to torture LGBTQ youth.

This is the most extreme abortion ban ever introduced in South Carolina and it’s an egregious attack on autonomy, privacy, speech, and safety.

Banned Books - Gator Days

Transcript

Panel 1

Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian.

Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned?

Dora: Vulgar Language.

Panel 2

Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is.

Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES!

Panel 3

Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter.

Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude.

Panel 4

Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t".

Olivia: Now I have to read it.

Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

I keep waiting for the powers that be in media to grasp the concept of bad faith, realize how often "restore trust in news" and similar statements mean "stop doing journalism, lie more in ways I like," come from people ideologically committed to destroying trust in news, and can never be satisfied.

"Arctic Frost" is what Grassley now calls the January 6 investigation (apparently the FBI used that name internally).

He doesn't want most people to realize this investigation was related to the January 6 coup attempt and broader conspiracy to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.

The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.

This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.
