You might want to read this after watching tonight’s Philadelphia-centric Simpsons, but @nanglish.bsky.social did a brilliant job paying tribute to the whole city and not just the tourist hotspots (one particular location made my jaw drop a little). Go Birds!
All the Philly People and Places in The Simpsons’ 800th Episode
From Dalessandro’s to Quinta Brunson to a fictitious park “honoring” Michael Vick. And, oh yes, Wawa.

Top right corner. Can't help but wonder if The Simpsons paid subtle tribute to Dan McQuade in tonight's set-in-Philadelphia 800th episode.

Disgusting.
A Virginia court agreed to allow a Marine and his wife to adopt an Afghan girl living in Afghanistan. Then the couple tricked the girl's family into evacuating to the U.S., and when they arrived here, stole the child. The Virginia Supreme Court just endorsed the legality of this.
Virginia Supreme Court rules US Marine's adoption of an Afghan war orphan will stand
The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a U.S. Marine and his wife will keep an Afghan orphan they brought home in defiance of the U.S. government’s decision to reunite her with her Afghan family.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

What Peter Thiel did to Gawker proved that you can’t have billionaires and a free press at the same time.
i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

“It used to be a given that libraries are good,” said Jacobs, who also serves as director of the Burlington Public Library. “So to see the legislature turn around and introduce bills that call us out and demonize libraries was shocking to say the least.”

As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event.
They’re two of hundreds of people we’re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.
