Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5

Mr Cuba I feel needs some explaining because surely he can't just be dressed as sexy Jesus mixed with Charlize Theron from Snow White & The Huntsman. It's a well made garment and he's smizing so very hard, but I surely do not understand.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Biden spent the last functional years of his life participating in trans genocide and arming and allowing Gazan genocide only to die on estrogen from what is ostensibly ass cancer nearly immediately afterwards. You don’t get poetic justice like this anymore

OK so the estradiol valerate I take is actually labeled for use in cis men for prostate cancer, so what are the odds that Joe Biden is taking the same stuff? apnews.com/article/bide... Biden Big Naturals could be a real thing if he lives long enough

Biden is receiving radiation and hormone therapy to treat his prostate cancer

Former President Joe Biden's treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer has entered a new phase.

the book Doctor Sleep is total dogshit but the movie is great, Rebecca Ferguson eats her part like a prix fixe tasting menu and she plays an eldritch horror who looks incredible in a top hat

movie!Jack has a shorter arc (from contemptuous asshole to murderous asshole) but Nicholson is so damn good

and Duvall is deeply underrated, people mock her but she plays the hell out of a basically decent person who believed in and loved her husband, and was betrayed

we're doing a double feature with the criminally underrated sequel, Doctor Sleep (which is so much better than that book it's not worth comparing)

im rewatching The Shining for the millionth time and while i think the book does some things better (getting us into Jack's head) the book is a story about a good man swallowed by ghosts and Kubrick's story is about a family annihilator, and thus much, much scarier

Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic

"‘You run away a lot,’ said one of the voices. ‘That is good. You are a survivor.’

‘Survivor? I’ve nearly been killed dozens of times!’

‘Exactly.’"

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

That's why it's always worth having a few philosophers around the place. One minute it's all is truth beauty and is beauty truth, and does a falling tree in the forest make a sound if there's no one there to hear it, and then just when you think they're going to start dribbling one of 'em says, incidentally, putting a thirty-foot parabolic reflector on a high place to shoot the rays of the sun at an enemy's ships would be a very interesting demonstration of optical principles.

My FedBook feed has been filled with comrades protesting coast to coast, others running local mutual projects, others sharing the art they've made and encouraging people to use it how they see it fit. I am extraordinarily grateful to and for the people with whom I am in community.

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

It becomes totally meaningless, a completely ineffectual symbolic victory that would fool no one, for a dem to vote for *anything*.

Either they vote for something the pedophile party wants, in which case the funds get there. Or they don't, in which case the funds are illegally used for heinous shit

What does it mean for Dems in congress to vote for funding *anything*, when the president can very literally just ignore it. Just go "nope not gonna give em that money," and refuse to spend it where the vote said to spend it?

If congress very obviously doesn't control spending, at all, anymore?

Lots of attention on this Marc Benioff article, which is excellent and full of jaw-dropping quotes.

It reminds me of how he was when I did a story for NPR about him secretly buying hundreds of acres of land in rural Hawaii. Things got weird.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
