Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

Letters sent by @epic.org yesterday calling on the FTC and nine states to investigate and block Meta's plan to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses.

A privacy, safety, and civil liberties disaster in the making—unless enforcers step up.

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Levine did not have concerns while making the movie but has developed a fuller understanding of the trans experience in the ensuing decades. "It's just over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender.", says the actor, "It's unfortunate that the film vilified that, and it's fucking wrong. And you can quote me on that.".

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising.

IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar.

Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

AI will make people dumb and controllable by the rich elite. People are losing their critical thinking skills by the second the more they use AI. They can't make decisions without consulting ChatGPT. Their soft brains will be easy to control by say... a regime who makes all their decisions for them

People think I’m against ai because it’s “coming for my art job”. Yes, ok, but I’m against it on a whole nother level. I honestly believe it will cause a catastrophic dumbification of us. This lady knows what’s up.

Good morning, Bluesky friends! I found a bunch of Dwarf Iris’s while walking around my neighbourhood and thought I’d share a picture. It was taken with my iPhone 17 Pro.
This image captures a vibrant cluster of Dwarf Irises (likely Iris reticulata) emerging from the early spring soil. Visual Highlights • Two-Tone Display: The plant features a striking mix of colors, with bright royal blue blossoms on the left and deep plum purple flowers on the right. • Intricate Details: Each flower displays the characteristic iris "falls" (lower petals) adorned with vivid yellow and white crest markings. • Unique Growth: While the main bunch stands upright on slender green stems, two blue flowers at the base have grown horizontally, resting their petals directly against the earth. • The Environment: The flowers are growing in dark, pebbly soil mixed with dried, brown leaves and a few emerging green shoots in the background.

Good morning. Lough Foyle with a dramatic sky. Hint of rainbow. #TidesOutTuesday #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin
Low tide at Lough Foyle reveals rippled sand and shallow reflective pools stretching toward calm water, mirroring a dramatic sky filled with towering dark storm clouds and bright breaks of sunlight. A faint rainbow arcs subtly through the right side of the clouds, while the distant hills of Donegal form a soft, blue-grey silhouette along the horizon, adding depth and contrast to the moody coastal scene.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

(Published Feb. 2025)
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Director Bart Layton says ‘CRIME 101’ could have gone to streaming, but he, Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, & Mark Ruffalo insisted otherwise.

“We were all very focused on making a movie for the theater... I feel like we haven’t had these kinds of grown up thrillers for a while.”
