It’s frustrating that shitty people try to code “female” to be an anti-trans word. Female is a fab word that doesn’t depend on age (girls and women). There are plenty of times age doesn’t matter. And yes, trans women are women, trans girls are girls, and trans females are females!

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

People shouldn’t be reporting this as “he returns to face charges.” They should be saying “Trump admin concedes it can bring people back from CECOT and tries some new shit against Abrego Garcia after the old shit didn’t stick.”

I’m seriously skeptical just from a quick headline on Trump returning and indicting Abrego Garcia because: everything from this administration is propoganda and lies, Trump uses domestic violence only as a defense and doesn’t actually care, and *ignores the right of due process everyone gets.

I guess we’re going to see what happens when the richest man in the world who is also a terrible person fights the most politically powerful person in the world who is also an abominable person.

Shame on these 5 Democrats who joined Republicans in voting for a bill requiring the Small Business Administration to take money away from "sanctuary" cities: Henry Cuellar Don Davis Laura Gillen Jared Golden Marie Gluesenkamp Perez They're just straight-up bigots.

Adam Smith (challenged by a Socialist and likely a lefty D) decides to throw himself into a mud fight between two awful people. Smith just had to ensure his constituents know that he’s in alignment with Trump’s terrible decisions to snatch people off the streets. 3 horrible people being horrible.

Cathy Moore lied about supporting building more affordable homes and expanding addiction treatment services when running for this seat. And she's surprised when her constituents responded by criticizing her for going back on her word after being elected???

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

In honor of Chess returning to Broadway, just a few pics of my 1987 trip to London when I was 15. I got to see Princess Diana, Chess, Phantom of the Opera, and Les Mis. I rode trains, the Tube, and Double Decker Busses everywhere. And I ate at the OG Hard Rock Cafe. So 80s!

1/ The day after the Antioch High shooting, Nashville police arrested a 12-year-old for posting a concerning screenshot on Instagram. His school was supposed to figure out if it was a valid threat. Instead, the school expelled him with no further investigation.

This probably should have been a "fifth and final season" renewal, rather than just "fifth." I love "Hacks" and it should end on its own terms, whatever those are, but it also shouldn't go on so long that I resent it. And Hannah Einbinder is a LEAD actress and should be award-recognized as such.

Interestingly, this detail is replicated from the game. Anyway, lots to think about in Alan’s review IMO, a good critical perspective from someone who hasn’t played the game and is treating the show as its own work (which it is).
