I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
It reminds me of the marks on bronze statues of pets where the forehead is shinier from generations of passersby petting them.
Unfortunately Belphies baldness isn’t quite so sentimental but it’s still a sweet thought.
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
there's a constant background radiation of ableism on the internet these days that makes it very not fun to use. never know when i'm gonna stumble across someone casually being incredibly cruel about autistic people, either implicitly or explicitly
Holy fucking shit LOL
This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Golden Age Superman stands head to thigh alone in a panel black at the top and red on the bottom where Superman stands pointing at the reader as he says, "Be wary of unscrupulous operators of gambling games--they are always on the look out for unsuspecting victims."
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
congress needs to stop this madman
“anger is real, and so is resolve” goes pretty damn hard
Extremely funny to hear "900 people would lose billions but still be rich and every single member of the middle class--millions of people--would get a check big enough to not have to stress about rent for a month or two" portrayed as a BAD thing
Florida is doing what it set out to do, make life unlivable for trans people.

Can't wait to see this perfectly ordinary catgirl from the front!
They want to rule a region of rubble and the US is, at best, perfectly fine with this albeit not motivated by it and at worst is actively in agreement.
For comparison: the Japanese offshore seismic network and earthquake early warning system cost like $78 million to put and place and about $2 million a year to maintain.
So much stuff could be done if we stopped deciding we loved killing people more than literally anything else.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.
“Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes.

i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

BTW it is EXTREMELY common for academic papers to declare Lara Croft the first playable female game character (a very easy fact to debunk). As a grad student I wrote a paper that traced every appearance of this "fact" to a single paper, which is why you don't only engage with academic texts!!
with the power of claude bluesky's coders have turbo-charged their productivity to new heights never thought possible which is why they've only shipped like two new features in the last year
And they're starting with some of my favorites... the Hoppip family is so cute!
he is 73 years old. my god.
Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”
