A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Yes, she stated a trend in reading that is still going. That's who she was, not who she is.

There is better stuff created by folks who aren't pathological sociopaths.

Stroud, Novik, Nix, Townsend and SO many others make wonderful middle grade fantasy fiction

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This doesn't necessarily mean Luigi goes free? It just means the trial is ruined, and they have to start over.

But this is such a massive violation by the DOJ that the judge will most likely declare "Mistrial With Prejudice."

THAT would mean he goes free.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 21h

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trump’s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judge’s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/b9U7CY1

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

James Thurber wrote a story about a horrible person who, by chance, flies around the world alone. Gains the adoration of Americans. But peers know a stupid pig like this is a monster looking for power now, so they chuck him out a window.

So appropriate today.

Because more people need the endorphins from it, the Firefox cookies comic by @astolphokitten.bsky.social

1 a man working on his computer.
2 a Fox crawls on the desk. The man says "Oh, hey Firefox! What's up?"
3 the fox leans on the computer, saying "Gotta clear your cookies."
4 the fox opens the tower and a cascade of chocolate chip cookies pour out.
5 the fox happily eats them.
6 the man says "That's a lot of cookies" to which the fox responds "yup."
7 the man asks "can I have one" as the fox keeps eating.
8 the fox hurriedly scoops up the cookies
9 grumpy, the fox says "No."
10 the fox scoots backwards holding the pile of cookies.
11 the fox falls off the desk with a "WHUMP"
12 the man leans over to ask "You okay, buddy?" to which the fox replies off frame "No. No, I'm not okay."

The Advantage program was a lifeline for New Yorkers like Kasha, a working mom struggling to get out of a shelter and into stable housing.

But when then-Gov. Cuomo slashed funding, homelessness surged.

These are political choices. We can choose differently.
