Every time I meet a Republican I ask when I’m getting my $5000 DOGE dividend

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Tennessee's "nuclear family" resolution was obviously written by someone who HATES his mother-in-law but lost the argument with his wife about her moving in with them.

Every article like this is trash, mealy-mouthed cowardice.

They talk of "lesser known stories" and how the effort to tell them is "under pressure."🤡

They don't say what is plain to see: "Racist people don't like Black stories being told, and so make active efforts to erase them from history."

This just reminds me of how the muscular sister in Enchanto was easily the most popular character with little girls despite Disney actively fighting to remove her and not ordering enough toys of her to meet demand. They thought the girly flower sister was the big seller.

also worth noting is when you do this face design my god it is so hard to emote it

its why so many emotional Elsa scenes read real weird and why 3D animation has moved towards making special anime-inspired expressions (like KPDH or Spider-verse) for exaggerated emotions

First ever marathon to last 5 minutes.

Lex Luthor: Oh no! You’ve discovered Lexor, the planet I go to to blow off steam by doing good deeds! Superman: Hey, you’re a superhero here. That’s kinda cute. Lex: Now in order to preserve my reputation, I have to blow this planet up! Superman: You really don’t n- Lex: CURSE YOU SUPERMAN

Happy Superman Day! 🧵

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.

The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.

The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

It should not surprise anyone that a grandiose narcissist would develop a messiah complex when the Christian Right claim Trump was chosen by God......

Hi Friends,

I wanted to share this with you a little early.

I’ll be a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this Wednesday. First time being interviewed on the show.

To be a guest during his final weeks feels really special.

Thank you for being part of the reason this is happening.

I did, in fact, call it.

"For more than an hour, several employees said, [Amazon] workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead"

improper use of the red cross symbol is a violation of the geneva convention so this is, quite possibly, the funniest excuse he could have come up with

Alfred Molina’s drug dealer character from Boogie Nights (PT Anderson, 1997) hushing the room “wait wait wait” with index fingers extended because his favorite part of “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger is coming up.

Tell me about a part, a moment, a time stamp in a song that has you like this.

“earned”

So, yes, there are some theocratic weirdos who enjoy bullying trans kids for fun and there are some pedocons who want a peek inside every youth-league athlete’s gym shorts, but mostly, as with Orban, it’s about the money, the corruption, the chance to loot public funds with impunity.

“I want MONEY, Jack. I wish that I had some loftier purpose, but, uh, I’m afraid in the end it’s just the money, Jack.”

Orban also has ethnonationalist, far-right ideological goals, of course, but for all these guys (Putin, Trump) “in the end, it’s just the money, Jack.”

as promised! a horrible quality video from the techno rave outside Parliament earlier, from like 20 minutes after Orban conceded:

What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses? Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

As Hungary votes, would recommend this piece about how Viktor Orban has used public money to bankroll an international ultraconservative network - including Roger Scruton cafes and €10k a month for failed Reform candidate Matt Goodwin

The word is "simple". He thinks the world is simple because it's very simple for him. If you don't want to pay for work, you just stiff people. If you want to sleep with someone, you sleep with them. If Iran is deemed a "threat" you blow it up.

This is also why people think he "tells it like it is"

Terrible take from the NYT: “Orban’s defeat is a setback for the global nationalist revival promoted by President Trump.”

Is that what we’re calling Fascism these days? (Also, it started with Putin.)
