Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

Recent weeks have revealed the existence of two very distinct spheres: One group of specific weirdos (of which I am definitely one) for whom KINKI is basically the cinematic event of the decade. And everyone else, including other horror nerds, who have never even heard of Koji Shiraishi or NOROI.

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.
He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.
