Anyone in Philly or w/ connections to Philadelphia. There a missing trans woman named Moira that was last seen about a week ago at the Bike Stop. If you've seen her or know where she's at, please message me. She has a medical condition and people are worried.

Max’s The Pitt is proving that the network production model still works—with 15-episode seasons, weekly primetime drops, and a lean $5 million per episode budget. Shot in LA on the Warner Bros. lot with 2nd unit in Pittsburgh, it’s a compelling blueprint, no? stagerunner.net/how-the-pitt...

Are you an Urdu speaker who can translate on an interview I plan to conduct remotely in the coming weeks? Please email rates and references to [email protected]. WARNING: this interview will be extremely disturbing.

Burning a Tesla? Terrorism. Shooting a healthcare CEO? Terrorism! Killing two state Democratic lawmakers dressed as a cop & having a list of more Democratic targets? NOT TERRORISM! Is that clear enough for everyone?

Excuse me, but what the holy fuck? "...new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Truth Coming Out Of Her Well To Shame Mankind - 2025.

Happy father’s day.

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Tomorrow for my small-class seminar at the Arvada Center, I'll be presenting Billy Wilder's ONE TWO THREE (1961) which is, I was surprised to find, unavailable on any of the major streaming platforms. This follows our first film last week, Robert Hossein's THE TASTE OF VIOLENCE (1961).

I stopped giving money to Dem candidates after Fetterman sold my personal info across who knows how many dark, blue, and red webs and I implore my fellow liberals to stop giving politicians more money and to start donating whatever you’ve got - money, food - to people in your immediate communities

God are we really taking notes from Great Britain pre crimean war

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

holy shit they threw him on the ground and cuffed Padilla when he was out of the room.

Boy, this "Energy Transfer" "Oil & Gas" ad that is on so many podcasts right now is a real stinker. Like, Verhoeven level dystopian goofiness.

If you're a trans teen or parent to a trans child, please share your story with us if you would like to. We would love to hear it!

I think it’s important to notice why so many Americans believe the criminal group exists: yes the media but also two political parties that kept talking about this criminal imaginary. Two. That appeal to Liz Cheney moderates shit is damaging.

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

I've seen no stories about this elsewhere, but on the D-Day anniversary last Friday, tens of thousands of veterans protested the creeping privatization of their health care system. Suzanne Gordon and Steve Early reported on the DC rally and satellite actions in over 250 cities:

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

this is what the person has done with their influence

"Supply-side and demand-side meet: sending in the troops creates counter-protests that require sending in the troops, who do nothing but stand behind the other troops who are standing behind police." prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

We *have* to keep having the conversation about asking elderly leaders to step aside in public because there is simply no evidence it is happening loud enough in private. This is all just so sad. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

A new exhibition opens at the NY Historical Society on Friday about how people were blacklisted in the US: www.nyhistory.org/exhibitions/... [always timely]

DC folks: be wary of the “ICE out of DC” protest PSL is organizing in the city tonight. It is not supported by local immigrant justice groups. Many local immigrants and immigrant justice groups have asked them to change the location because it puts the Latino community at risk. They said no.

I dug this article about Bernthal. I wish it had it included one of my favorite Bernthal moments - Deborah Ann Woll teaching him to play D&D and how responsive he is… (linked below) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/m...

 "When we had the wildfires that devastated big chunks of our city, he did absolutely nothing. Now that we're in the middle of a non-emergency, send in the National Guard."

Movies are cool.

lol ABC News just fired Terry Moran when these people pretend in 10-20 years that they did their best to stop what's happening during the press tour for their memoirs feel free to ignore them

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

Another government kidnapping:

A reminder to our WGA West friends that if you feel you've been handed anything created by generative AI, been asked to use it, even have a WHIFF of it, the Guild and AI Committee want to hear from you! There's a form! www.wga.org/contracts/kn...

multiplicity but it's only the dumb one

Again every discussion about what Black people are doing and where is solidarity now pings to me as false And usually a way to demand something from one Black person that another Black person has already been doing

i still think occasionally of the older trans woman i met riding the bus on a fairly rural midlands arriva route once back in like 2004, completely unbothered by the locals, who were her lifelong neighbors & obviously knew her well and loved her

Over the years I’ve spoken to a few LGBTQ clubs in Texas schools and the students were always thoughtful funny kind teens just trying to carve out a place they could be themselves. The monsters trying to destroy these kids will fail, but they will hurt a lot of people on their road to failure.
