If you don't string these people up by their toe nails in front of a 7/11 and hand out bats for people to beat the stuffing out of them like a piñata, you WILL lose again in 2028.

the critiques of la bola negra that call it too “self-important” confuse me quite a bit because in my opinion, this felt like the first film i’ve seen that treats the queer experience - queer desire, queer repression, and everything in between - as “epic,” a genre typically reserved for the Straight White Male protagonist (see: the odyssey, which i also love!) and finally positions these experiences as equally Important in culture and society. this genre imbues them with the high stakes, life-and-death feeling so many of us wrestle with inside for years but shield from the surface, and in that way, i found it to be a revolutionary depiction of these stories for showing them in a new light onscreen they’ve always been denied.

Saying nearly 160 people die a year in the reflecting pool is so funny. That's like a throwaway joke they'd do on The Simpsons about the people of Springfield

one of the biggest mistakes in Obama's first term was the preemptive decision not to hold the Bush administration accountable—if Dems do that again they will put the country in an even worse position than the last decade

The right-wing Anakin posting does make a lot of sense as it combines many of the Right’s core preoccupations: getting groomed; killing your wife; working for an insane, octogenarian tyrant; being hated by your children; losing and dying

The way Elon haunts the back half of the thing is so pointed and pervasive.

I believe Theranos 2.0 will be different. They are using lasers, they are looking into the various Chemistries. Theranos 2.0: this time it’s lasers.

Why did they use ElevenLabs to make an AI-generated voice of William Greaves for ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM…? One of those decisions that is incredibly pointless, and you can tell it’s AI! It sticks out like a sore thumb, especially in a theater with a good sound system!

The commander of the Israeli military unit likely responsible for killing 5-year-old Hind Rajab is currently in the U.S.
As a party to the Genocide Convention and the Geneva Conventions, our government is obligated to arrest and investigate him for these war crimes and acts of genocide. I stand with @HindRFoundation in calling on the DOJ to follow the law and take action.
🇺🇸🚨 The #HindRajabFoundation has filed an urgent request with the U.S. Department of Justice, demanding the immediate investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Sean Glass, currently present in the United States. Glass commanded the Israeli unit implicated in Hind Rajab's murder. HRF's investigation places the 52nd Battalion—including Glass and his Vampire Empire Company—near her vehicle during the killing. Today, Glass walks free in the U.S.

This admin recently stripped away the ability from Americans to borrow enough student loan money to get a nursing degree
& now they’re whining about their own actions & the crisis they’ve caused?
RFK Jr. warns that a nationwide shortage of more than 50,000 nurses has become a healthcare crisis, hitting rural America especially hard.
Now, HHS is taking action to address the shortage and strengthen healthcare in underserved communities.
“Nurses here in Virginia, there is a deficit of 1,700 nurses.”
“Across the country, it’s over 50,000.”
“It is a genuine health crisis, particularly in rural areas.”
“It’s a priority for the president. We’re addressing it.”
“You’re going to hear a series of announcements over the next couple of weeks, but we’re already addressing this through expanded rural residencies and federally qualified health centers.”
