Also, that image is Gandalf, Not fucking Dumbledore. Gandalf wouldn't put up with this racist, transphobic series, thank you.

Finding out this group of people is stupid aside, why is casting Snape as non-white a consistent thing now? First a black man, now Ahmed. Snape is IN-UNIVERSE a wizard Nazi who clearly still believes in racial supremacy in the main series. It feels bitter and pointed

I'm incredibly disappointed in these actors, most of whom I've enjoyed and admired. Riz Ahmed is a particular blow.

Still from the 1941 film "Love on the Dole", with the unfortunate subtitle "She's a strange lassie's arsehole".

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".

(It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

This is going to kill people. Especially with decreased Medicaid funding in a state where 1/3rd of the population is on Medicaid.

But fuck them godless whores in Sodom -- I mean New Orleans.

Planned Parenthood is closing their last 2 clinics in Louisiana -- one in New Orleans and one in Baton Rouge. Over 10,000 Louisianans get healthcare at PP each year. Now, they're all out of luck, thanks to all the funding cuts and costs of operations heaped on PP due to the LA GOP.

Of course they're going to put him back up. Because of course.

My ex joined the Scottish Rite Masons two years after our divorce. All I knew about it at the time was Pike served as judicial guide to the Klan and was a Big Deal to the Scottish Rite. Told me everything about them and about my ex.

Oooooooh. Please?

Texas House Democrats offer a brief response to Gov. Greg Abbott's threat of arrest and expulsion: "Come and take it."

Donald Trump's decades-long obsession with eugenics A timeline of the president's thoughts on "good genes," IQ, and which disabled people should "just die."

Trump is defending the Sydney Sweeney ad, which is not surprising, as I put together this timeline for @motherjones.com, that man holds bad views on eugenics. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Aquarius: Make some quiet time for yourself today so you can reconnect with the old, dried up plant you let die on your window sill.

a carved pumpkin with the words it 's almost halloween written below it Alt: a carved flickering pumpkin with the words "it's almost halloween" written below it

Despite the fact that it's 90-odd degrees outside, the fact that it's August has my brain just going, "Halloween!!!" over and over. Like a seasonally-challenged gremlin.

AP The Associated Press @AP BREAKING: The Trump administration is pushing an initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data to new apps run by private tech companies. Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @GeauxGabrielle Hi! Epidemiologist here! Don't do this. In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. "Somehow" the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights. It's partly WHY the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act exists

Thank you! There are some good options, looks like, and I'm pleased to see it.

Any places that do selvedge jeans with 40+ waist? A lot of companies cut off there, which is frustrating as a chunky lad.

I managed to finally email my advisor and let her know why everything is late. Now that I'm back on all my meds, in a few days, I should be able to function and think again. And then I can finish the lit review and draft of the first diss chapter.

Tabbies have incredible eyeliner, it's true.

I also love animals, and in the city, I'm a bit limited. But I take time to go see the ducks on the river and pet the mules at the carriage stands, and I carry dog treats in my bag to give to my neighbours' dogs, which is a delight.

Her momma is a purebred Pixie-bob, her daddy is a Ragamuffin. She was destined for heft and majesty! She got all of the tail in the litter, since every other kitten was a bobtail. It's why her tail is so long.

She's a marvel and entirely too clever for her own good.

A large brown tabby Pixie-bob cat on top of a blue cat carrier, with curled ears and polydactyly toes. A fluffy grey kitten peeks out from around the corner inquisitively.

She has grown up so much! I have a photo of her momma, and you can see where she gets it.

So many stripes and a handful of spots.

She is, she knows she's beautimous.

She is superlative baby.

I shall give her a tube treat in celebration.

A tiny, tiny baby kitten Weency, still blue-eyed, with big ears.

The baby Weency upon her first day in our house. She's laying on a white coverlet, looking at the camera, her paws delicately crossed. Tiny, perfect, baby kitten.

All grown up lady Weency, laying on the grey sheets, majestic and attentive. The most perfect brown tabby. Superlative baby.

It is Weencycat's 3rd birthday! 3 whole years of babyness!

Behold, when we got her versus now.

I went into an empty elevator at the hospital to get a routine blood draw, and I got blasted with a wave of Love Spell. Took me back 25 years, good gravy.

I think people in the restaurant industry don’t deserve to put up with “as a grown adult, I am going to bring an entirely different meal to a restaurant without asking the staff in advance because I believe I am special” behavior, personally

"Our children are dying."

Roishetta and Kamea Ozane are a mother and daughter from Louisiana's "Cancer Alley," where oil and gas pollution is linked to a host of health issues. They are in New York this week to protest "toxic billionaires" who finance the industry harming their community.
