your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Nakba Day was last Thursday, 77 years since Israeli occupation, when my family were expelled from their home in Palestine In some ways it kinda feels redundant this year, like who cares if it's 77 years or 76, 15th May or 23rd July But it's important to remember this didn't start on 7th Oct 2023

I haven't cried like that in a long time #Andor S2Ep8

dunno man it's small but in his 1st homily, Leo XIV seems to be coming for American white evangelicals and American Catholics' cozying up to them www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

As a California born and raised filmmaker, let me speak for many of us when I say: go fuck yourself you collaborating piece of shit.

#Thunderbolts* *they remembered how to do it Focusing on the story over continuity and set up works really well. Who knew? It's funny, it's incredibly poignant & it opens with a lovely action oner.

This is not the point, I know. I do know. But is anyone else bugged by 'adult female'? Female adult or adult female human Something about 'female' as a noun just makes my skin crawl.

This, from a woman in Oklahoma talking to her local news station, is better than the vast majority of political speeches you'll hear today.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Will Forte says he’s thrilled that ‘COYOTE VS ACME’ will be getting released. “I’m gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I’ll go, I’ll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I’m there.” (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

‘SINNERS’ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop • Would be the smallest box office drop for a major movie in modern history • Strong chance the film could earn more this weekend than last weekend Read our review: bit.ly/SinnersDF

Good god. Meta is using their AI licensing deals with John Cena, Disney, and others to peddle sex chat bots to kids. Burn this company to the fucking ground. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

This has made my week. And possibly next week also.

If I told you there are people obsessively thinking about children's genitals at sports games and women's genitals in public restrooms, you'd tell me to call the police. If I tell you those people are TERFS though we suddenly have to be respectful and hear both sides?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

he’s right and he’s right to say it

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

I went coast to coast by train The station in Austin, capital of Texas, is a one-room building with bare dirt 'platforms' & the train attendants put out a little step And 2 tracks are on the same side so you have to go over to the car park & scramble down a little hill to get to the far one

Here’s what the finished sticker looks like:

One-thousand-two-hundred-sixty space-bound tortillas One-thousand-two-hundred-sixty soft tacos in space One-thousand-two-hundred-sixty -two space-bound tortillas How do you measure a year in maize?

Happy Easter #transrightsarehumanrights

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

About 1 in 25 packs of chicken in U.S. grocery stores have salmonella according to the CDC. So this is both not surprising and a pretext for more trade disruptions since they clearly knew this about American poultry already.

A judge just ruled that deporting Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil over his pro-Palestine views is “reasonable” because it could harm U.S. foreign policy. No crime. No evidence. Just dissent. This is how authoritarianism works.

The best part of any X-Men film is always this scene Magneto: [sternly but affectionately] Charles. Professor X: [affectionately but sternly] Eric.

Last one for tonight - S1 Ep6 #WheelOfTime #WOTSkies Love their fancy dresses. I do need something terrible to happen to the red one though THANK YOU! Finally someone sorted that out. Ooo! That's a fun surprise 🥰 I totally get Nynaeve but girl needs to pick her battles All my babies! Mat

#WotSkies Mid-S1 Break! Thoughts... Rand - probably the dragon (or warder) Nynaeve - should be the dragon Perrin - something else Egwene - not the dragon, but powerful Mat - cursed Moraine - death flags (hope not) Lan - may end up bonding with Nynaeve, not sure how it works No spoilers! 😁

Short break for spring rolls & into S1 Ep5!! Someone needs to ask Mat where he got that damn knife That is a very fluffy camel I made my spring rolls too spicy 🥵 Perrin looks better. Ew. Whitecloaks. EW. WHITECLOAKS *snaps* for Egwene...hugs for Perrin snaps for Egwene AND Perrin #WOTSkies

#WheelOfTime S1 Ep4 I need more names in the previously on, currently it's useless to me. Oh god. Not more places too. My new man is cute, too bad he's haunted. Mrs S! Oh no. Another one of my guys is haunted. OH NO!! OH YES!!!!!! I teared up. #WOTSkies

TL:DR Not dire wolves Not a case of de-extinction Grey wolves are nowhere near close relatives They tweaked the genes of grey wolves for some dire wolf characteristics like coat color, size and jaw strength They implanted the eggs in a domestic dog tribune.com.pk/story/253858...

#WheelOfTime S1 Ep3 Annoyingly can't turn off the previously on. I noticed that blood shape in the pool. We have split the party. Nothing can go wrong with this. Finally, Rand has rediscovered his braincell. Mrs S!! Discovering I have serious trust issues. And that's why!
