‘PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS’ debuts on Rotten Tomatoes at 100% Read our review: bit.ly/DFKillers

Should I be prepping more inventory for Queensland Faire next week? Yep. Am I okay with my reprioritization? HELL yep. Happy Pride y'all!

The Nintendo Switch came out just after my daughter was born, and this hits a lot of the feeling I'm feeling about the Switch 2 release.

Glad this is getting the attention it deserves.

Thanks for a great talk!

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

As soon as I heard the news, I was eagerly waiting for this reaction from The FilmCast: The cast to watch for film.

A little louder for the people in the back 📣

Great to see! "A major company, Microsoft, has dropped a law firm that settled with the administration in favor of one that is fighting it." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

The episodes in this thread cover so much of what I love about Opening Arguments: the omnivorous spread of topics, original (as possible) takes, genuinely good laughs, and a human-centric lefty perspective on the law all joyfully fueled by the pleasure of unscripted conversation between friends

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Head Start is one of the most efficient uses of public money. Every single Head Start classroom is better for humanity and for the country than every single tech company.

If you are anywhere near Baltimore, come playyyyyy!! #fairy #fairycore #fairyfestival #fae #faerie

Real talk, getting to do events all over the Mid-Atlantic is incredible, and I am SO lucky to have drives home like this. Don't get me wrong, events are exhausting - and my fibro keeps me on my toes - but I am humbled that I get the opportunity to do this #smallbusiness #microbusiness #handmade

I ordered a 5lb bag of bulk coffee from column15.com, a nice roaster we found on vacation this year with reasonable prices. In talking with some folks on how to store it, I was pointed to using a mason jar vacuum sealer. It was like $20 and works like a charm for both regular and wide mouth. #coffee

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

this simple moral clarity from Fourth Circuit judge Stephanie Thacker in denying the government's request not to have to return someone it admits it deported to hell by mistake sets the only acceptable tone from every judge in every one of these cases forever

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

This is the right response from WilmerHale. Let them hear it. Doing the right thing when it's hard deserves our praise. Every institution feeling pressure to cave needs to see good incentives to do the right thing.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

How firm is the hold of antivax beliefs? From the parents of the 6 year old unvaccinated child who died of measles: “Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said. Measles, she added, is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” She noted that her four other children all recovered…

Between yesterday's hearing about the deportation flights before Judge Boasberg, today's unhinged Trump post attacking him and Roberts's response, and the decision that just came out enjoining Musk and DOGE re USAID, we're about to find out just how big of a constitutional crisis we're in.

Can't wait for the XSX version!

I think the Democratic Party should be led by people who think the Republican Party is bad. Try it for a bit and see what happens, you know? Just to mix things up a little.

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

Shooting at #umbc, my alma mater. Stay safe out there.

SAVE Act is a 5 alarm fire. Many cannot produce a birth certificate or passport to register, including married women who have changed their names. Voter registration drives would be impossible. I hope it is controversial enough to stop Republicans nuking the filibuster but Trump is pushing it hard

1/ This is wildly illegal. That is not a question on which reasonable legally informed folks can disagree. It doesn't fucking matter that he ran on doing illegal things. They are still illegal. And striking at Congress's power of the purse is worse than illegal. It's anti-constitutional.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!
