Picture of a couple hands, each holding a plastic cup from Taco Bell containing bright aqua green colored Mountain Dew Baja Blast with the words: It wasn't the baja blast that killed us, it was the baja radiation

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy" This isn’t about women. This is about us. And it’s long past time we had this conversation

The number of angry messages I got from insecure men on my article demanding men be accountable for rape culture & 'Rape Academy' reminds me to share my article repeatedly.

Men: Stop being insecure. Stop being pathetic. Start holding rapists accountable.

Yeah he was a menace… to dudes who wanted to own other people. Otherwise, he was and will always be a hero of mine.

Yeah - noticed this too. They had PAs at “qualified.” If you change it to 1, Jensen comes in as the 3rd best AL Central catcher after Dingler (DET) and Jeffers (MIN) - 18th overall

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse.

So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries.

It’s your turn.

Like for no. Repost for no. Reply for no.

In college, I was part of a Men Against Rape Society. Athletes & student leaders signed-up to be included on a poster with their names and pictures. It included a statement taking responsibility for the culture we’d all been a part of & pledging to change it. 1/2

And also with you 😏

If you see this, quote with a pic of you in glasses

I keep watching these Virginia Tech vids thinking the simulation is so lazy giving us the most blatant metaphor for the US approaching it's semiquincentennial

2/2 It felt like we were turning a corner. I saw dudes who made a difference because of their involvement. This academy thing shows there’s numerous more corners to turn. We have a long way to go, men, and it’s our fault. We have to own it - all of us. Even “the good ones.”

Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy" This isn’t about women. This is about us. And it’s long past time we had this conversation

An article I wrote for men about "Rape Academy."

Women already know this & I say this with full awareness of how uncomfortable it makes men: Most men are not safe to be around alone.

This is not sustainable & men must lead the change. Men, we need to talk: qasimrashid.substack.com/p/men-we-nee...

WTF are all the hot rods doing out in Millard tonight!? And with the price of gas nowadays!?! Loudest I’ve ever heard them - it’s like they’re filming an episode of Street Outlaws

HAPPY being the #1 best part… of course, radiantly beautiful is nice too 😉

@qasimrashid.com’s piece is something all men need to sit with

Better hair tho

In the end, everything about the Constitution & the Republic was just norms & duct tape, because our Representatives, Senators, & Supreme Court Justices turned out to be oath-violating cowards when it mattered.

Ask me if you need me to alt text. Screenshot of Al Jazeera US-Iran war coverage. 4/17/26

I just can't, you guys.
This is so exhausting.

Two fists with tattoos on each hand. The Left hand has 5 fingers reads "Fuck" and the Right hand has six fingers and reads "A.I.art"

Keep making fun of AI "artists". Keep calling it slop. Keep shaming companies that use Gen AI.

Gilmore with some serious cuteness overload!

All my KC friends out there - keep calm & keep safe in these storms as they’re rolling in. Looks like y’all are in for a doozy!

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

Ohmygoodness 😻

How satisfying was that laugh!? 🤭
