can report that there was a lot of cringe at the DC No Kings rally, in a very good way

Quinta Jurecic @qjurecic.bsky.social · 21h

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Resistance Is Cringe

But it’s also effective.

Back to the Future's iconic Marty McFly guitar scene contains a number of timeline conundrums fans have noted many times over the years.

But chief among them is a mistake that revolves around the iconic guitar McFly plays during his performance of Earth Angel and Johnny B. Goode.

I did not see the twist of Haley being a murderous gold digger. I wonder if this is a revision to the longterm plan. This will obviously free up Bill for a reunion with Dani, which seems way too easy.

Hey #BeyondTheGates fans! I'm back with a new commentary and there was a lot to talk about. Hayley's a grifter and wanna-be murderer. Juney From the Block almost beat down LSD. And there was a divorce and a wedding. Please give it a read if you're able. #BTG #Soapsky

Sophia tells Warren that she and Lionel were involved for a full year before she learned he was married to Augusta. I could absolutely be mistaken about this, but I *believe* this is new information! ( … @ky71matt.bsky.social, is this new info or was this established canon already?) #SantaBarbara

This is horrifying, but I’m glad the Wikipedians are safe. It could have been far worse, given that the MAGA fascists have been trying to incite violence against Wikipedia editors, and trumpists are defenders of pedophiles like the gunman. gothamist.com/news/gunman-...

Another myth is that unhoused people with jobs are the "hidden homeless." Often they're just ignored into invisibility.

Early in my reporting, I met a woman who lived in a tent and bathed each morning behind a Chick-fil-A dumpster, praying no men were nearby. Then she went to work at a call center.
