One thing about is that there was, from the parents' side. There was lots of cultural flotsam especially in the Christian press about how to survive cutting off your gay or lesbian kids

Maybe I just don’t remember it but I don’t think there was ever a corresponding trend of articles about conservative parents cutting off their gay kids, which was a thing that absolutely happened en masse in the 90s and aughts as gay culture mainstreamed

so much misery in the world because people refuse to accept it's fun to change your mind

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

"Helen Joyce does not have any formal education or qualifications even in biology, let alone in gender, sex or law... she is not an expert at all. She has no recognised expertise in any of the areas in which she expresses an opinion." — Federal Court of Australia

The depravity here cannot be overstated. A recent poll found: - 82% of Israelis support forced removal of Palestinians from Gaza - 56% support forced removal of Arab Israeli citizens - 47% support IDF murdering *all* inhabitants of enemy cities they occupy www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

michaelrosenblog.blogspot.com/2025/05/this... I'm here all day for Michael Rosen's critique of a very bad test. I do not know why all standardized testing is so awful but at least 90% of it has to be that no one fucking cares, it's just a way to get some numbers

Oh my god the headline

This person premeditatedly murdered two people with their gigantic truck and we will never even learn their name

October 1989

What happened in Boulder is a repulsive monstrosity; what happened at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation depot is a repulsive monstrosity

This is such a perfectly condensed little parable of the horrors of the bullshit machines: a completely ignorant and illiterate shibboleth against standard punctuation, born from nothing and threatening to take over in no time—meme as prion chewing holes in the brains of a generation

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

I doubt it. Fedsoc is ultimately a power network organized around a political line, and while Fedsoc's political line may be very temporarily out of favour in one important place (the White House) it retains tremendous influence in all sorts of critical power-adjacent American institutions.

Howard Hawks and Barbara Stanwyck on set of BALL OF FIRE (1941).

I love that weekly in @newscientist.com my reading interests collide with smart science alongside experiments in comics formalism in the brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social’s work! Always so clever, and inspiring as maker and teacher of such things!!

Fantastic question. With a little creative @stathead.com searching I found that Cleveland in 1957 is the most recent major league team for whom every single player to make an appearance is deceased. Rocky Colavito (died in December) was the last living player.

Newsom is doing an incredible job running for president in 1992.
