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.

Coffee isn't doing it anymore! I am so sleepy!

GWU graduation…

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

I did not know that #Bridgerton was this damn steamy! 😮😮😮🤯

I keep expecting this all to hit my life at once like a tidal wave, but I think what’s actually going to happen is that everything’s going to get chipped away—job security, freedom of speech, services for my kids, educational opportunities, art and culture—without any one signal event.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Why do authors say shook instead of nodding? This is the 5th book I've read where the author has done that. Shook means "no", nod means "yes". #IfOnlyForTheSummer

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

I felt sorry for Draco Malfoy. Your parents aligned themselves with Tom Riddle and because of that, you had to endure trauma and witness traumatic events. #HarryPotter #HarryPotterandtheDeathlyHallows #PeacockTV

#KeenenWayans needs to write a memoir AND a book of inspirational quotes. The interview that Damon gave on Club Shay Shay is full of wise advise and inspirational words from his brother. #KeenenIvoryWayans #WayansBrothers #ClubShayShay

The US government is kidnapping people off the street and sending them to a concentration camp where they will never be released and will be forced to do unpaid labour. If you think this is a policy limited by numbers, ethnicity or law then you aren't paying any sort of attention.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ~The Great Gatsby

Ana spoke straight up facts 💯 #TheView

I don't give a merry shit about it being performative after an orange diarrhea had a used car commercial in front of the People's house! Any grown ass person who willingly stands for a speech over 17 hours w/over 94 million ppl watching & providing info deserves a bravo. #corybooker #coreybooker

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

So uh... how exactly is America going to host the World Cup next year with all these travel and immigration restrictions?

#ParableOfTheSower is a chilling tale. I read it two years ago and still get anxiety when I think about it. It is written and set in the 90's. Read at your own risk! #BookRecommendation

now is a good time to remind people that on paper, there is a requirement that permanent residents carry their green cards _at all times_, and that theoretically while citizens don't have to carry said proof or any ID, good luck proving you're a citizen on just your assertion, you need to carry ID.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

No, is this really the final season of #GhostsUK? #ParamountPlus

Rose Girone, the oldest known Holocaust survivor, has died at age 113. She endured both German and Japanese oppression, but lived for eight decades beyond the end of World War II. Read more: cnn.it/4hObjah

“People were sexually assaulted by soldiers using batons,” says Dr. Khaled Alser, describing the horrific conditions inside Israeli prisons. The renowned Palestinian surgeon says he was detained without any clear reason.

I miss the days of half.com. I would get all of my textbooks and whatnot for little or nothing. And you could find some really great gems too, especially books no longer published. 😞

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.
