I rewatched Jumpin’ Jack Flash tonight. I want to decorate my future place with the same design aesthetic as Whoopi’s apartment in that movie, including classic movie posters, a novelty-sized toothbrush, and a gigantic crayon.

I have some issues with it, but “This Thing Between Us” by Gus Moreno has been living in my head rent-free since I read it a few months ago.

Universities have the power, money, and networks to protect their students. They may simply choose not to. 🙃

I haven’t gotten to that one yet. I’m still in the middle of Destroy All Monsters, which has been a bit of a let down.

I love that Ark in Space pre-dates Alien by 4 years. Credit where credit is due, a strip of bubble wrap spray-painted green and moved by an air gun was creepier than it had any right to be.

If you don't mutter "Edward plate hands" to yourself as you move 4-5 plates from the dishwasher to the cabinet by clasping them between all your fingers, are you even living?

Since I have your attention, I just want to say I loved your explanation of the reverse lampshade in Kaiju Preservation Society.

This is a problematic headline. And ultimately can be dangerous. The wording makes it sound like this was the position of Jewish groups, whereas in truth opinions were diverse. This gives credence to these groups as if they speak for the Jewish community as a whole. They don't.

Maybe it’s a byproduct of my mom having a lot of recipes from the ‘70s, but it’s not unusual to see chow mien noodles used in desserts.

Whomever is advising the Democrats right now is criminally bad at their job. The notion that they can meme their way out of fascism is truly incredible.

CNN reporting that Senate Democrats are “disappointed” in House members for violating “decorum” at Trump’s speech last night. Just utterly clueless. And worth remembering next time those senators wax reverently about John Lewis.

"Fraud, waste and abuse" is the new "ethics in game journalism." This is the gamergate playbook run by a manchild billionaire to destroy the federal government and usher in techno-feudalism.

DOGE's crackdown on agency spending means that federal researchers can't do vital experiments, order liquid nitrogen tanks to preserve samples, or refill basic but necessary lab equipment. My story with @zoeschiffer.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go “oopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?

Opinion: a group of women, some of whom are trans, is not 'gender-diverse.' It's just women! And it doesn't have to be, but saying the group is gender diverse kinda suggests that trans women are a different gender and they're not. They're women. 🤷‍♀️

Breaking: 10 NYT writers think trans rights are the least important and attacks on the trans community aren’t that bad. Least surprising news ever.

A) Their appearance in accessible media does not necessarily mean they are communicating accessibly B) How many publications or programs reach a majority of the population? C) Media companies are not necessarily the most discerning when it comes to who they platform.

I think it’s extremely telling that @nytimes.com assesses the loss of protections for trans people as less consequential and less negative than a corruption case involving a city mayor.

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

At this point anything (I should stress, nonviolent) that would convince me our elected officials were actually putting themselves at risk for their constituents. We had 8 years of emails and texts warning of existential threats, and it seems like all we can expect are more emails.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

This is such a fucking mealy mouthed article that shows so much of what is wrong with political journalism 1. the CONCERN IS DEAD AND SICK PEOPLE NOT 'POLITICAL PERILOUSNESS" 2. they don't fact check RFK's "measles outbreaks happen every year" comment.

I’m genuinely torn on this. On one hand, you cannot legitimately ignore the fact that a substantial portion of the electorate voted for this man. On the other, this has become a repetitive trope that wastes limited resources on what is essentially the same story.

BREAKING: The full trans military ban has been released. It disqualifies from service all archive members who have of have had a history of gender dysphoria. This is a disgrace to the brave trans folks willing to sacrifice their lives to protect this country. courtlistener.com/docket/69583...

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.
