What Swit could do with her face. A subtle move here or there. She created a character of such enormous depth, such complexity, and humor. Never to be forgotten.

21CP is the consulting firm cops hire when they need an "independent investigation" to whitewash their misconduct. Same firm hired by UCLA PD after the encampment attacks last year

Most people on this earth just want to live their lives.

10 reposts and I personally fund the Northern Illinois Transit Authority.

Portage Park would be a perfect place if the Blue Line continued under Milwaukee Ave instead of running in the middle of the Kennedy Expressway

The Democrat’s top line ad theme for the midterms…

This seems so well cast and something I will work up the gumption to see.

In honor of Alf Clausen's passing, what was your favourite music track he has made on either The Simpsons or his career? Mines definitely the Mother Simpson end credits

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

your body sends you very clear messages as to what it needs instead of listening we jack ourselves up on caffeine and corn syrup and booze and pills and then lean on gadgets (that usually don't work or required a monthly subscription) to tell us that maybe we need a nap

www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/l... This is a great tribute to her career and I’m delighted that they brought up the episode THE NURSES. She was so breathtakingly vulnerable in the scene where she confronts her staff I’ve never forgotten the moment she said “well you were wrong” So human RIP

Shitty leaders everywhere, addled by the brain of a demon chipmunk.

Vibes based everything

This is the GOP at its core: social Darwinism. If you’re not rich, it’s your fault. If you can’t afford healthcare, it’s your fault. If you can’t work and can’t afford basics, die.

I'll never not think of this.

Food innovations are just too much to deal with

Plantir, owned by GOP mega donor Peter Thiel, is collecting sensitive personal and financial data on American citizens to create detailed profiles for the government. Thiel once wrote "freedom and democracy may not be compatible," and "capitalism and authoritarianism" are. Do you get it yet?

Looks like a guy who spends a lot of time in front of the mirror.

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding in GOP-run legislatures across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures. @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Alrighty then

Mood.

Seattle and many other cities are currently debating: * weakening the protections that prevent people (including you) from being included in searches like this and/or * expanding surveillance tools that will include more people (and you) in searches like this

Because of course.

I feel like a large portion of my life right now is . . . No thanks, iOS, I'd rather not put a period there. No thanks iOS, that's not what I was saying at all. No thanks, iOS, that's hardly the word I wanted, even if that's what you thought would be neat.

We failed to fight the Federalist Society, who chose judges for more than two decades. Now, because we didn't stop them, the right is now stopping the ABA, from even weighing in on judges. Lesson: fight the illiberal right when we have power.
