Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

I don't give the tiniest damn who Glenn Greenwald sleeps with, what they do together, or how much he pays for the privilege. I do, however, find it hilarious that he is most bent out of shape because something which never supposed to be shared with the public was hacked and dumped online.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

As a federal employee, I can’t take a $100 dollar honoraria for speaking at a conference. And I have to fill out forms confirming exactly what the conference host is providing me.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I can’t compete with this

Good morning, hugs to all! #Biology #insects #Arthropods #Funny #hugsforeveryone

The Gary/Chicago International Airport has a history of hosting deportation flights. Yesterday, a small protest march was on its way back from the airport when Gary police suddenly attacked. Matthew Kaplan, who was documenting the march, was arrested and slapped with charges for no clear reason.

Misogyny is a major force in many if not all areas of American life, yet our intellectuals seem determined to pretend otherwise even when it's staring them in the face. celestemdavis.substack.com/p/why-boys-d...

"Thomas Chatterton Williams" sounds like a playground insult for a guy who talks too much

I get paid upwards of half a million dollars a year for my expertise on the subject of the Harlem Globetrotters and boy the Washington Generals really look like they might have their number this season
