Yeah, good point. *nod*

Here's the thing: if I had Tourette's Syndrome and I believed there was a possibility I might yell this word involuntarily, I would be kind and self-aware enough to not attend an event at which I could be sure Black men would be winning awards. It's kind of a tact thing, IMO.

it's an imposition imo to ask anyone to watch a video of any length. when i see someone post a video and it's like 27m long i feel like a stranger just asked me to help him move

Regardless of your general jadedness about the US legal system's ability to meet the moment, you should recognize that this is concise and powerful messaging of the type that corporate media are largely incapable of producing or, more likely, unwilling to produce. I welcome all truth-tellers.

It's VERY good, obviously.

My hand holding a book called How High We Go in the Dark. The cover has a blue sky and moons in different phases diagonally across it.

I'm a good third into this book and wondering if I'm going to just cry the whole way through. God damn! Going to power through. How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu

I'm not even sure there's intelligent life on this planet.

The (Extremely True) Story of the Cat That Streaked the Field at MetLife Stadium A black cat ran onto the field at the Giants-Cowboys game on Monday night. Little did you know, that cat has been plotting that very moment for years.

“Our affiant lied, of course, and we have now learned there’s video to contradict him.”

This is Dorian. He refuses to come inside from this rainstorm. Just really wants his mom to watch him jump in puddles. 13/10 good job buddy (TT: kirstengarrison)

Tucci had on some big sunglasses, so he was a little hard to recognize.

"Easy A" is probably not what accomplished actor Stanley Tucci is most known for, but when my husband and I were watching the Olympics and he asked, "am I supposed to know who this guy is?" I immediately blurted out, "it's Olive's dad!" And, of course, he knew right away what I was talking about.

It was 6 minutes of names.

Dang, I just read this, and this guy sounds like a caricature/cartoon! Deeply, deeply weird dude (not a compliment).

President Trump's second-term job approval rating Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as President?

Need Presidential approval rating data? Don't forget to run, trot, lope, amble, or whatever over to YouGov for historical approval ratings

BRAVE.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

It's a shitshow up in here.

Folks are SHOWING UP to oppose these terrible bills. Solidarity. Love. (It's FL, so we know they'll pass this.)

CS/HB 641 (2026) - Gender Identity Employment Practices CS/HB 641 (2026) - Gender Identity Employment Practices

(e) "Gender identity" means a fully internal and subiective sense of self, disconnected from biological reality and sex, and existing on an infinite continuum that does not provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex. (f) "Gender ideology" means the false belief that replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true. The term includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from a person's sex. Gender ideology is internally inconsistent in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body.

These definitions in Florida House Bill 641 sure are *something*. (A committee chair just spent several minutes reading off all of the people waiving comments in opposition to the bill. Now they're doing some public testimony.)

Fair.

A bright pink upholstered chair with a sort of chrome cantilevered situation holding it up.

It is gorgeous. 😍

I'm going to go look at a super expensive vintage chair for my office. Bougie af. SMH. Who am I? I kind of hope the texture annoys me so I won't buy it. 🤣

I think it's perfectly understandable that many people feel a deep sense of resentment and disenfranchisement for the time capitalism has stolen from them, but the answer is not to embrace capital's machine that pretends to show you an inner life you aren't having.

I dream of having enough stability in our culture that anyone who wants to can pursue the arts, but the meaning comes from that pursuit, from translating human experiences through skills acquired over time. Art is labor, but it isn't just some commodity that can be pulped and reconstituted.
