Brazil’s admirable little red-bellied toad—thumb-sized and critically endangered—once stopped a hydroelectric dam that threatened its only habitat.
After the 2024 floods, researchers returned and found it still holding on, but climate change, plantations and trafficking risks loom.

I feel like when this movie first came out, they advertised it like a silly Tim Allen movie. Then my dad and I watched it on a plane a few months later, and we were both blown away. My dad’s not a big movie fan, but he spent the next few weeks telling everybody how great it was. I am, and so did I!
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.

That’s why conservatives are pouring millions intro trad-wife bullshit and birth control disinformation. They need young women to believe the erosion of their rights is a good thing, actually!
It’s not enough to oppress women—they want us ^grateful* for it. (We’re so much prettier when we smile.)

Across the country, women are dying of sepsis, losing organs, being arrested for miscarriages, and used as brain-dead incubators.
Corpses have more rights than women living under abortion bans.
What better moment to run a full court cultural press about how freedom isn’t that great anyway?

None of this is “good faith political debate,” and it’s not a coincidence that all these outlets are suddenly interested in the same “discussion” at the same time.
Treating women’s humanity like a thought exercise makes it that much easier to legislate away
