A year ago I got what I originally thought was a scam call. The caller claimed to be FBI, said that I had been indicted for a conspiracy, and told me to schedule a time to self surrender if I did not want to be arrested at my home. It was not a scam call, at least not in the manner I suspected.

the thing is, they literally do. The claim is that the Arab world *once did* great things and *no longer does,* and that second part is not true. Conveniently, they keep records of who gets those prizes, so you can see that it is not true.

First of all: thank you. This is necessary and important and good. Second: who tf is not signing on to this because I would like to have a little conversation.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.gov

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

I generally agree and a good illustration is the difference between the theatrical and director’s cut of The Exorcist. It would not be regarded as a great film if the latter had been released. Counterexample: Psycho

James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social

I finally caught 'Hereditary' (2018), and it occurred to me that what separates the truly great horror films is they stick the landing. 'Night of the Living Dead,' 'Carnival of Souls,' 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' 'Cure' -- that last impression they leave ties everything up to that point.

i'm not going to do the stupid thing where i have to anticipate every perceived caveat to what i'm not saying in my 300 character post like "i think public rail is good" because frankly i'd rather the rage addicted posters looking to fight with me on subjects i agree with them about just block me

It's baffling to me that some of you are obsessed with strangers on the internet who are saying "this is not good enough" about someone's politics. If you are worried about a candidate's electoral chances and you think that matters, phone bank for them or something.

On this day in 1916, police raided Margaret Sanger’s birth control clinic in Brooklyn, the first such clinic in the U.S. The clinic purportedly violated the Comstock Act of 1873, which prohibits circulation of “obscene” or “indecent” information. That act remains in place to date. #WeTheMen
