I genuinely admit this does kind of shock me for the case of Butler County.

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

For 8 great Star Wars movies (or, more exactly, narrative arcs), that seems more than fair to me. ☺️

Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.

The Sweeney Todd movie with Depp cuts out like half the camp of the original. No wonder it was only enjoyable as an edgy high schooler.
The full musical--now that's gold.

I started reading Moby Dick last week and since then I've seen at least one post about whales every day without seeking them out--mostly on Tumblr or Discord where you can't blame it on Algorithm. Gangstalking confirmed???

I hate how every nation is living down to its stereotype because I’m trained to look for complexity in things, yet the USA is run by a caricature of crony capitalism that Soviet propaganda would consider too unsubtle, Russia is run by a Bond villain, the UK is speedrunning Children of Men, etc.

Let's go! The City of Cleveland - home to a public power utility - is one of the first in the nation i've heard of so far banning shutoffs during this federal shutdown crisis.
Public power can lead the nation in showing what democratic institutions can do to make our lives better.

We're announcing a 30-day moratorium on utility disconnections.
The federal shutdown and cuts to SNAP benefits have placed an unfair and unexpected burden on households. No one should have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table.
