Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

Somewhere there's an alternate timeline where Kamala won and the trending topic on Bluesky is #fatbearweek. And I need to stop believing in multiverse theory, 'cuz the knowledge that it's possible is just rude.

Every time Harrison Butker misses a field goal, a woman gains some rights

no girl ur right ur so much better than me for being devastated by the loss of a pro-gun, pro-genocide, anti-abortion, anti-Igbt+, anti-immigrant, anti-empathy, violently racist transphobic, and misogynistic white supremacist whose whole job was reviving the hitler youth. my bad

My particular form of neurodivergence abhors symmetry in my clothing. (Sometimes I have to wear mismatched socks to compensate when I don't have an asymmetrical hem.) When these go up in yours shop, they will definitely have a home with my collection of skull cashmere sweaters. ❤️💀

I wish. So many of my friends such bad a**, give no Fs Morticia types, and I'm over here with my June C. anxiety asking if they remembered to put on sunscreen. (It takes all types?)

i like that literally every story is like "what if normal day BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS" and writers have been coming up with different combinations of normal days and SOMETHING HAPPENS since the dawn of time

Gonna say this louder for the journalists who still don't get it. RACIST, MYSOGINISTIC, BIGOTED RHETORIC IS NEVER CIVIL,
***REGARDLESS OF THE TONE IN WHICH IT IS DELIVERED***

A thread of all the elected Democrats who've put out statements of support for trans people this week as Republicans manufacture a genocide: 🧵

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

165 pages into @nnedi.bsky.social's Death of the Author. Admiring the gorgeous cover, when the book jacket slipped down and SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR. What a delightful surprise. 👏🏼♥️ Beautifully executed design that does justice to the equally sumptuous prose. (No pic. Grab a copy and check it out.)

I don’t know who needs to hear this but *ululates a dirge of the death of all good things and the rise of endless anxiety, a tremulous paean whose warbling howl begins to split the earth and release a tidal crush of chihuahua wraiths hell-bent on biting everyone and drowning all things in fear-pee*

[cite_start]A screenshot of the first page of a court document from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts[cite: 3]. [cite_start]The document is titled "MEMORANDUM AND ORDER" [cite: 43] [cite_start]and was filed on September 3, 2025[cite: 1]. The document lists two related civil actions: * [cite_start]**Civil Action No. 25-cv-11048-ADB**: President and Fellows of Harvard College, et al., Plaintiffs, v. United States Department of Health and Human Services, et al., Defendants[cite: 4, 5, 14, 17, 21]. * [cite_start]**Civil Action No. 25-cv-10910-ADB**: American Association of University Professors - Harvard Chapter, et al., Plaintiffs, v. United States Department of Justice, et al., Defendants[cite: 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 36]. [cite_start]The order is from Judge Burroughs, D.J.[cite: 44]. [cite_start]The text begins by identifying the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases[cite: 45].

A screenshot of pages 81 and 82 from a court order, detailing the judge's rulings and the relief granted. **Rulings:** * **For Harvard's case:** The court grants Harvard's motion for summary judgment on several counts, including violations of the First Amendment and Title VI. It grants in part Harvard's motion regarding the "Freeze Orders" and grants in part the defendants' motion regarding the "Termination Letters," citing a lack of jurisdiction. * **For the Organizational Plaintiffs' case:** The court grants the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on their First Amendment claims and denies the defendants' cross-motion on several counts. The ruling on the "Freeze Orders" and "Termination Letters" mirrors the one in Harvard's case. **Ordered Relief:** 1. The court vacates and sets aside the Freeze Orders as arbitrary and capricious. 2. The court vacates and sets aside the Freeze Orders and Termination Letters as violations of the First Amendment. 3. The court vacates and sets aside the Termination Letters as violations of Title VI. 4. The court permanently enjoins the defendants from implementing the Freeze Orders, Termination Letters, and their unconstitutional conditions.

JUST IN: Harvard won summary judgment against the Trump administration with the court finding that the admin violated Harvard's 1st amend. rights. The court has vacated the funding freeze orders and termination letters and issued a permanent injunction.

@pattonoswalt.bsky.social on Strange New Worlds! 🎉🎉🎉 What an absolute delight.

But the most populous state redistricting to gain more Dem seats IS. I had Newsom as my mayor before gov. I'm not a fan. But we've been yelling for meaningful resistance, and I'm not about to say "But not from you." Progressives flexing anti-Newsom for clout this far from primaries is dumb.

Love. Almost 20 years later Harryhausen also did Clash of the Titans. As a kid I was obsessed witht the Medusa scene. By age 7 I'd recognized the usefulness of turning men into stone. (Plus the bonus snake hair? Sign me up.)

Sir. This a weaponized use of the quote post function, and believe you owe the rest of us the same damages.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Was reminded of this today

Me and my saurkraut finger are about to be so popular in Germany.

The Public Is Resisting Trump. The Elites Aren’t. The president is encountering little resistance as he remakes our society. And yet polling is clear that voters aren’t with him.

"While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on some degree of responsibility and even courage from elites." The people are passing this test, and the elites are not.

When I met you extremely pre-Renee, you had "wife guy" destiny written all over you even then. ♥️ No surprises that you're fulfilling this calling.

I've never been so happy for my door to be broken. This information is DELIGHTFUL.

I'm a fiction junkie. But my dad got me into some really epic historical nonfiction I would not have otherwise explored. In the Heart of Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick, The Big Burn by Timothy Egan, & Empire of the Summer Moon by SC Gwynne, are some highlights.

Give them free tickets to improv shows, suddenly something will come up and they’ll have to leave town

Marines should NOT be deployed. However, they are trained in crowd control and deescalation and are used for those purposes in countries the US is occupying. The danger is Trump's rhetoric to the soldiers that makes US citizens the enemy and frames LA as in need of liberation.

An image of barometer entitled LAz Civil Unrest scale. At the top: 1992 Riots. Then in descending order: Trader Joe's Silverlake Parking (TRUTH), Hollywood Bowl Intersection After Concert, Xmas week shopping at Glendale Galleria, & Lakers/Dodgers Championship. At the very bottom is an arrow and the caption: Current Level & weather 68 and fair, and abolish ICE.

No lies detected.

I feel like how epically this skeet trolls both Newsom and the deployment will go unappreciated. But I'm here for it.

💀

There's no reason for any Democrat who is a serious candidate for 2028 or thinks they have a shot at winning not to come out and say "Abolish ICE" right now.
