For my money, there is NO visual media version of Pennywise finer than Curry. He was *perfect*.

Who has more range than the man who has played the monstrous manifestation of Darkness, a murder mystery butler, a sweet transvestite from Transexual Transylvania, the voice of a cartoon duck detective's nemesis... Curry can do it all, has done most of it.

A good read. My high-level take here is that “what’s wrong with universities?” and “what’s driving public mistrust with universities?” are different questions and people often answer one when asked about the other.

There's also a kind of intentional myopia in focusing just on higher ed when diagnosing "declining trust." Only one of these explanations also has something to say about why there's simultaneously declining trust in elections, public health authorities, etc, in the same spaces over the same period

US Southern Command: On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED

We murdered three more people in boats today

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

And Elon would support this thing before he'd support any trans athlete.

Your periodic reminder that any time you watch something on Tubi it puts money into Rupert Murdoch's pocket, and many of those films can be found for free at your local library.

Number go up Our charts tell the story of oligarchy in overdrive.

America’s wealthiest men are spending more money than ever before, in a race against each other that’s leaving the rest of us in the dust.

By 2030, data centers will consume as much energy as 41 million US homes.

Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.

Great work to all the transphobic pickme gays because you're next on the menu

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

Sailors Should Not Pay for Meals at Sea The Navy continues to charge sailors for meals while deployed.

Hegseth's failure to feed our sailors & marines is even worse when you know the Navy charges them for meals while on ship. Airmen & Soldiers deployed on a base in ME eat in chow hall for free. Sailors & Marines on ships charged whether they eat or not. That's bullshit

Dave Chappelle bashes the Republican Party for ‘weaponizing’ his transgender jokes Comedian has previously drawn heavy criticism for jokes about the transgender community

Dave Chappelle has lashed out at the Republican Party for campaigning on “transgender jokes,” a “weaponized version of what I was doing.”

He is surprised that his transphobia has led to transphobia?🙄

He’s so gone.

We are spending at least $500 million a day to bomb Iran.
Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?

Exactly one year ago today:

Montana Supreme Court Rules Its Constitution Entirely Protects Trans Citizens In Landmark Ruling The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.

The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

I dunno, this feels like universalizing a preference. Systems clearly matter to some people or Pathfinder wouldn't exist. DnD is the bastard child of wargaming and narrative games. Even those of us who enjoy more RP/story appreciate a solid system. Otherwise we might as well do fantasy-based improv.

Justice Department says Biden DOJ weaponized law to go after anti-abortion activists The Trump administration has said that enforcement of the FACE Act by the Biden DOJ represents "the prototypical example" of the weaponization of the law against conservatives.

I know they don't care about the obviousness of their hypocrisy but c'mon.

When they dehumanize trans people it's a matter of public policy whereas when I do it it's for money
