Learning that Platner covered his Nazi tattoo with some “norse-celtic” bullshit is not convincing me that he was ever getting any tattoos “accidentally”

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

#BoycottSpotify. It’s working.

Question for the fellow parents of littles out there who canceled Disney+ today: Is there a Dropout of kids' TV? Looking for a streamer or whatever to give my money to that won't bow to fascists.

It takes a lot for me, a single mom of two princess-obsessed under-5s, to cancel Disney+. Goodness knows their exorbitant price increases didn't do it. But Kimmel? That did it.

So excited for you!

We got our first blackberries the other day.

"Democrats don't want the Epstein files released because it would compromise Bill Clinton."

Yeah, no, I don't care who's in the files. If Bill Clinton is implicated, I want him held accountable. I'm not part of a cult. I don't give a shit if they're a Democrat.

Side note, and I'm only posting this because I've turned off replies: Anyone dressing as a Potter character now, at any event, for any reason, you're telling trans folks that it's not safe to be around you. Loud and clear. Unequivocally.

in the past (before their many harmful actions fully came to light) if you found comfort in work of NG or JKR, I don't judge that. Now, if you watch their shows, buy their work, buy merch, put a single additional dollar in their pocket or add to their power or influence in any way, that I do judge.

Concise, direct, and clear as a bell. We shouldn't have to look so hard or wait so long for messages like this

Love that one! I discovered it in college via a box set of classic screwball comedies, many of which I'd never even heard of. Gotta dust it off one of these days (if the Littles ever allow).

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Heather Cox Richardson Speech - 250 Year Lantern Anniversary - Old North Church YouTube video by VanTidesDIY

If you'd like to see and hear @hcrichardson.bsky.social deliver her blow-by-blow account of the lighting of the lamps in the Old North Church – where she gave this address – and the Ride of Paul Revere 250 years ago, someone did us the service of recording it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv5l...

In the 9.5 years I did the Televerse, I heard from maaaybe a dozen listeners I didn't know personally. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for telling us. ❤️ And the same to you- it's rough out there, I hope you're doing the best you can be, given the circumstances.

What? No Limitless s2? Something has gone horribly wrong. But surely that's the only change to the timeline. *Looks around* Oh boy...

I need to introduce mine to Miyazaki. My 3yo loved The Princess Bride and The Wizard of Oz. Various Disney/Pixar movies have been hit-or-miss depending on scariness level.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

My copy came in the mail yesterday! Congrats, Emily- so excited to read it, when the littles give me a moment (3.5 yo + 1.5 yo = very limited reading time)

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

That's huge. Congratulations!
