Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

I'm a trans woman in Florida. If I want to visit friends across the state I can't safely use the bathroom until I arrive at my destination because it's practically a crime for me to exist in public.

I've done nothing wrong. I simply exist but that's enough to make fascist law enforcement target me.

A Law School Dean Signed a Brief Defending Trans Rights. She Lost Her Job Because of It The revocation of Emily Suski’s job offer at the University of Arkansas sends a chilling message to law professors everywhere.

I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Leaked Signal chat shows NH House education chair advocating whites-only schools The group chat allegedly shows NH House Education Committee Chair Kristin Noble suggesting test scores would rise if students were split into white and

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

"There is a cult of ignorance in the US, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political & cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov

The alt text is the christmas present you didn't know you wanted.

Stunning that this just HAPPENED on a show with (at that point) an audience of about 8 million people a week, in 1992. Nothing about Denise was played for laughs, except other people's reactions to her.

But that one guy said white men his age can’t get work in Hollywood.

Sink The Rich!

Seriously! 😂

This statement sounds horribly unhinged and deranged, even more than usual from him.

WSJ headline: Gen Z shoppers aren't spending like retailers need them to

If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

The thing is. Imagine if anyone spoke to you like this in real life. There's approximately a 50% chance you'd punch them in the face. Every day is such an utter fucking disgrace to the presidency.

Wait until these same people learn about the Mona Lisa!

Congratulations! 🥳

Oh wait... was that not your intended goal?

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Universal Music Enterprises proudly present a remastered and expanded limited edition vinyl LP re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score to MOONRAKER. The 1979 film stars Roger Moore as James Bond in his fourth turn as 007 and is produced by Albert R. Broccoli and directed by Lewis Gilbert. Oscar® winning composer John Barry continues to bring his creative mastery to the Bond franchise with a thrilling, often romantic score that not only takes 007 around the world… but propels him into outer space. Shirley Bassey returns for her third Bond title song featuring lyrics by Hal David. Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed by Mike Matessino from high-resolution digital transfers of 2” tapes provided by MGM, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, Moonraker blasts off like never before! This remastered 2XLP score presentation, pressed on 180 Gram colored vinyl, also contains additional music, including an early version of the title song with lyrics and vocals by Oscar® and GRAMMY® winner Paul Williams. The handsome gatefold jacket includes an 8-page booklet featuring liner notes by renowned journalist and author Jon Burlingame and sharp art design by Jim Titus.

Like clockwork, one of the first comments we'll see to a CD announcement is some variant of "Vinyl?". It's been a tough nut to crack, because no matter how much you read about the vinyl renaissance, @lalalandrecords.bsky.social still has copies of the "Goldfinger" album released in June.

My copy has been ordered and I'm super excited to own this new vinyl edition!

Artificial stupidity is being used to further library censorship while simultaneously flooding the system with garbage intended to drown out the signal of real information with propaganda, disinformation, and LLM gobbledygook noise: maggiemcneill.com/2025/11/14/t...

RETVRN to stupidly horny hand-painted schlocky sword-and-sorcery covers

Yep, it's absolutely maddening, it's like society enforcing a compulsory monogamous dynamic to maintain awful patriarchal traditions... kind of a twisted version of the Sith "rule of two"! 😠

I hope someone, somewhere is writing on opera based on this story.
