So MSNBC eliminates all of its non-white faces, and now NBC gives Lester Holt the boot. Are we sensing a fucking pattern here? IT IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER TO LIFT THE VOICES OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. Goddamn every single one of those trying to literally whitewash society.

I miss the days when YA drama was like "This person in my debut group one-starred my book on Goodreads" and not like "this school district in Florida set a bunch of books on fire and also the FBI now has me on a list for writing about Black people."

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

According to Reddit DoD probationary employees are being put on notice. Many DoD employees are veterans. Most veterans DO NOT get VA benefits. This is going to be one more support post kicked out from people who have given the most to this country by the people who have done the least.

Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00 covidtests.gov

American culture is rooted in stability. War and dictators are something that happens “over there.” It’s like when a violent crime happens in the suburbs. “This is a nice neighborhood.” We don’t think we can be victims of bad things.

For all the DOJ employees being fired: once you're no longer a federal employee, you can write about your experiences, go on TV. Trump is trying to erase the record of the cases against him, erase "corporate" memory. Someone should organize a way to get their stories out in the public.

I keep seeing posts that a lot of people who are being laid off are veterans (true!) and “this will show them for voting Trump” or “maybe they’ll become Dems.” Party lines tend to mirror the population in the military! There are lots of liberal veterans! And most people don’t vote!

My definitive ranking of the Final Destination movies: Best overall: 3 Best overall death: 2 (the barb wire scene clenches it) Best twist: 5 (this movie was solidly mid until the last ten minutes).

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Watching all of the Final Destinations in order and wow the early 2000s were a series of choices and none of them were good. 😂 Of course, these movies are still pure cheese. 🤌🏽

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

The Democrats have always been embarrassing but I swear to God they are worse than they have EVER been. Their best swing against what’s going on is casual homophobia? Delete your account, delete your employment, delete your party organization and let the country realign, I’m fucking done.

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people. There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

Yes! Books are heavy and expensive to send. Tip-ins are title pages (or sometimes just blank pages) that we sign that get put in during the production of the book. The pages will be cut down and bound with the rest of the book.

This! But even without AI mucking things up, few people know history beyond a basic eighth grade understanding. It’s not like people are walking around saying “Thaddeus Steven’s warned us!” as part of regular conversation.
