it feels truly insane that it’s not

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Everyone who can afford to go to the movies right now: SEE WILDWOOD THIS WEEKEND. *16 Years* of work went into this handmade piece of art, and we need to support that more than ever, ever, ever.

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

are there any trailers now that don't end with "Tch tch tch, Tch tch tch tch TCH!" ?

Yes, please, for the love of God already

I will admit: I have beef with the idea that s**cide results in some sort of penalty

Cali, NYC, whatever volume of whistles you need, we got you.

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

With great power MUST come great *accountability* else we perish

If rapists actually faced consequences for their actions we wouldn’t have nearly as many rapists. In reality many rapists actually benefit from their actions

Apropos of nothing, I would like to remind everyone that Martin Freeman has gone on the record as being a fan of using d*** r*** dr*gs

Enya's LOTR song >>>> Lennox's song

Amnesty International calls for ICE to be abolished

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

What if converse just didn't decide to be racist... i scream into the void

We need: Term limits Age limits Competency requirements Corruption rendering unsuitable for office (this is civics for babies)

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to ban private equity funds from owning or controlling medical practices. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know about the shady private equity industry and how it operates.

What y'all are doing to Ed Sheeran? I'ma need you to do that same thing to anyone you know personally who psychologically abuses their partner.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

We are not going to get out of the fascism problem by accepting just enough fascism to turn the heads of the fascism-curious.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Soup: hot baby food!

Get in, folks: a new Russian disinfo campaign is targeting the midterms, specifically Democrats, in what seems to be the first attempt by the Kremlin-backed op to meddle in this year’s U.S. elections. They're faking celebrity videos attacking Dems and are...very stupid. www.ms.now/news/russia-...

Anybody else have whiplash re: all the people opposed to the Palestinian genocide now? Not long ago folks were getting fired for it. I mean, it's very good to be opposed to the Awful Thing... But how much of it is for clicks or popularity?

problem with dating sites is I woulda swiped right on curry barker & left on kane parsons

Petition to remove the laughing reaction from facebook; it's literally only used by trolls

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Due to a profound and well-earned mistrust of the GOP, I check my voter registration relatively often. I just did and I'm OK. You can check yours; just search on "check voter registration status [your state]".

hello my baby hello my honey hello darkness my old friend

What's it called when bedridden because pets

A government that not only doesn't have term limits or age limits, that not only doesn't have health or competency requirements, but in which people can just *pretend you didn't die* to hold on to your seat & literally nothing happens

Computers are not some unknowable force of nature or entity. They're products and extremely knowable. Treating them as this mystical new form of life is not just illiterate, it's a great way to normalize this attitude of not being able to hold the people who made them accountable for their actions.

I'ma go ahead and say that I'm not going to see any Marvel/Star Wars/Disney films in theaters anymore. Those uncreative, unethical, AI-using, greedy corporate a**holes don't need my $ and won't get my compliance.

Life makes a lot more sense when you realize America is a giant Walmart. They're going to keep: -charging us as much as they can -extracting everything they can -making the quality shittier & shittier until we live in a massive crumbling parking lot.

If only there was a system in which people could directly impact structural decisions.
