It's kind of wild how the keyboard warriors would have us believe that any liberal is seconds away from going full Nazi, but that there's also a secret silent socialist majority who will come out in droves to vote for Democrats if the presidential nominee says "Medicare for all" The math seems off.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

I do wonder if the media had treated prominent Republicans cheering on the attack on Paul Pelosi with the same urgency they covered college students being too woke for their tastes if things might be different now.

Well, this is quite a thing to wake up to. Wtf?

I'm watching the Pan American gymnastics championships men's team final and apparently the Pan Am sports channel is Cuban. Because all they're showing is Cuba and Guatemala, who's rotating with them even though neither team has a shot of winning. It's an interesting way of watching.

I just got added to a group chat with a bunch of numbers I don't recognize. Run of the mill scammer? Or is Hegseth about to let me in on a new attack on Iran?

I dropped off posting because I got too absorbed. #FrightClub

This movie looks rad. I want to watch it. #FrightClub

When I first heard the term "video nasties" as a young'un, I just assumed it was British slang for porn. #FrightClub

Margaret Thatcher alert! Good news. In real life, she's still dead. #FrightClub

First time watch of Censor. Yet another time #FrightClub picks a movie I've been meaning to watch.

I don't know why all those visions were needed for Bruce Dern to kill Abigail, but oh well. See you for movie 2. #FrightClub

You're not supposed to leave the haunted hospital in a haunted hospital movie. Did this movie finally break with the cliches. They're headed toward another cliche. A spooky lighthouse. But still. Props. #FrightClub

Is it summer? Shouldn't this little girl be in school? #FrightClub

Ugh. A Scientologist. #FrightClub

I knew she was going to be Final Destination Terri'd. Too obvious, movie. #FrightClub

The hospital is dimly lit in a way hospitals never are. Drink! #FrightClub

First time watch of The Devil's Trap. It likes it could be fun bad in a horror movie that would air on SyFy on a Friday evening in October of 2009 kind of way. #FrightClub

If you see any of these escapees, no you didn't.

I love how the msm is in panic mode because they know the Padilla assault is terrible optics for the Trump administration. You can just see them desperately searching for a way to make this bad for Democrats instead. "Padilla was wearing.. a polo shirt!?"

There needs to be a term similar to imperial boomerang but for misogyny. Our culture tolerated "what was she wearing?" to justify rape/sexual harassment and now that fascism is here, it's being used to justify regime crimes against men too. See also mass shooters frequently having a history of DV.

I went to diving practice and Greg Luganis was visiting one of my club's coaches while he was in town. He was casually throwing gorgeous dives from the 10m platform. We all watched in awe.

Yay! I can hear the baby barred owls outside again! If you're not familiar, I encourage a listen. It's not a normal owl hoot. It sounds like a person wheezing and it's kind of hilarious youtu.be/2Zh-XSglkR8?...

Maybe I'm paranoid because a war is breaking out, but I heard a very loud noise outside and I swear it sounded like an explosion. It is raining hard, so maybe it was an unusually loud thunderclap. But it didn't sound like thunder. Anyway. Now I'm freaked out.

Dear found footage film makers, if you're going to rip off The Blair Witch Project, please do not have your characters make Blair Witch jokes . The audacity.

It really sucks that when you're middle aged you can get a painful neck/upper back injury in your sleep. I used to fling myself off the 3 meter diving board and shake off a terrible entry and now sleeping is apparently too strenuous for my busted ass body.
