Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Lime green poster of a creepy-looking medusa-like RFK Jr with pink eyes & snakes coming from his head. HEALTHGATE is written in pink block letters across his chin. Text below reads: RFK, Jr: THE PUBLIC MAN-MADE DEATH As of Nov 5, 2025, it is estimated that USAID's dismantling has already caused the deaths of 630,000 people, 420,000 children. Defunding health and science--and leaving HIV, TB, and vaccine-preventable illnesses untested, unprevenbted, and untreated--kills. ACT UP LEARN THE FACTS DISMANTLING HEALTHCARE = DEATH

For World AIDS Day, ACT UP New York has created posters as part of their Healthgate campaign, which capture the deadly consequences of creepy RFK Jr as head of HHS.
Dismantling Healthcare = Death!

JFC Oklahoma you fuckin cowards. Now every Jesus-freak right-wing student who can't get a passing grade for a bunch of bible quotes masquerading as an essay is going to file a 1st amendment complaint. You gonna suspend the whole Biology department for teaching about evolution? (Don't answer that)

Most relatable thing about Pluribis: dealing with worldwide apocalyptic crisis by lying on your couch watching 100 eps of Golden Girls in a row in the dark

Seriously. When I found out he started as a poet, it all made sense.

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

Queens men meet — Queens Daily Eagle The first man from Queens to be elected president and the first Queens resident to be elected mayor of New York City met for the first time in the Oval Office on Friday.

The Queens Daily Eagle remains undefeated.

Where Have All The Black Journalists Gone? In the wake of the Teen Vogue layoffs and the rollback of DEI initiatives in media, we have to ask: what necessary perspectives do we lose, and what questions go unasked and unanswered, when Black jou...

“What necessary perspectives do we lose, and what questions go unasked and unanswered, when Black journalists are among the first to be seen as disposable on a masthead?”

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Sign on a library book drop sign requesting people to yell "NOT A SQUIRREL" to confirm they are human and not a squirrel trying to steal Keith's lunch.

me: alright, i get it *opens book drop*
squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion*
me: NOT A SQUIRREL!
squirrel: *disappears into book drop*
me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

What Tom Holland’s historic lip-sync showcase taught us about stormwater management Grab your umbrella and your tights.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S. Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

LAW dork = I am certain that someone thought this was particularly witty when they came up with the name, but it's honestly one of the more offensive possibilities these hateful authoritarians could have used. Even on its face, using the name of a beloved children's book as the name of your anti-immigrant, mass-arrest operation is appalling. But, to use a book authored by E.B. White as your name is an offense to history. White was a leading voice for American democracy and freedom and against fascism and tyranny. Abusing his life's work like this cannot stand without a response.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

SOMEONE: Fuck you!

BOVINO: That’s not very nice.

THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?

More people should read David Walker's Appeal because it illustrates how writing can in fact shape history.

For more on Rev. Woolf, who appears to have been arrested today: he published an editorial with @rns.org literally this week titled “Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE” —> religionnews.com/2025/11/13/w...

who has *not* always wanted their very own 11 foot long papier-mâché hammer head shark
i ask u

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

now I'm reminded of the guy who they named Cincinnati after who was twice appointed to be dictator of Rome during wars and both times ended the crisis in like 2 weeks and immediately resigned his dictatorship to go back to his farm and follow his true passion of growing cabbages

The Dept of Edu just proposed a rule that will limit loan eligibility for nursing graduate & professional degrees starting July 2026.

DNP-level nurses make up less than 2% of the workforce & our field really needs more advanced nurses to further the field. This administration is bat shit crazy.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

There is no shame among the media and others who have aided and abetted these folks with supportive editorials and other pieces praising their nominations. These men are odious-their liberal supporters no better.
