You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

Proud to report that tickets for Parade at the Ahmanson in LA went on sale at 10am and promptly crashed the Center Theatre Group site ❤️

Had one of these at a wonderful Cobble Hill coffee shop in 2012, so when I went back to NY in 2018 and saw a cold brew advertised with tangerine and pineapple juice, I thought "why not?". ABORT ABORT! NOT THE SAME! (Been chasing that 2012 high though.)

White college educated women out here saying “Слава Україні”, hating Donald Trump, and net negative on the Democratic Party should be a screaming alarm bell to Dems that they lost the confidence of their base.

Really can't be emphasized enough that Kamala Harris, like most Democrats, did not actually run on the defense of trans people in 2024. The real ask here is for Democratic candidates to join in attacking a minority population that is being persecuted by the current administration for votes.

we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

For folks who've been playing along for a while, the vanguard for the end of rule of law have been American drivers, who realized about a ~ decade ago that they could maim and kill people with no repercussions. Our current bout of fascism is just a mild expansion of that ethical/legal framework.

Forbes, Mediaite, NewsNation, Variety, Patriot Ledger, Pittsburgh Post Gazette and Billboard will need to delete or retract their stories soon, but like, what's going on? Why is news so broken? Why do people have such off instincts and bad prior bias? Why doesn't anyone do their jobs lol

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

In entertainment it's often the case that being good at auditioning and being good at acting are two entirely different skillsets, which very much applies to politicians too.

Coming back to this to remark that most of the men who I know who have fallen victim to this have few interests and want to go into “business” (code: I want to be financially comfortable for doing nothing)

Devastated to learn from Emma Lovewell’s recent 90s walk that my teen obsession with green VW Bugs didn’t pop up out of nowhere and was in fact inspired by Mandy Moore’s “Candy” video 😭
