i have a lot of thoughts on the women who support pretty gay fictional tv characters and nope out when actual queer athletes exist (all. over. women's. sports.) probably because they don't watch or care about actual sports.
Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”

My regular post wishing all if the Southeast Asian and LatAm people I follow on txitter would migrate. Sadly, not everything can be solved by becoming more insular.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Apparently the helicopters I've been hearing all morning are news copters, which is hilarious because I don't even know how to find breaking news anymore now that the internet is slop.
Providence officials announced late Sunday that they are releasing the person that had previously been captured and deemed a “person of interest” in the Saturday shooting at Brown University that left 2 people dead and 9 people injured.

Providence officials release 'person of interest' in Brown shooting and look for new suspects
The shooter is still at large. 'We still have a lot of steps left to take, obviously, in this case," Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said.

At 5:44, Trump posted that the Brown University shooting suspect was in custody
8 minutes later at 5:52, Brown University said the “situation remains ongoing. Continue to shelter in place.”

Back in the… aughts, probably? There was this husband/wife couple who made movies starring the wife, always as a lesbian. They weren’t very good movies, but you know. Slim pickins back then and, like many other bad queer movies of that era, were beloved by many.

Over the years, we have accumulated many, many weird items on this show. Wax presidents, Russell Crowe’s jock strap, even a Bob Ross painting. Now, you can own them. Visit johnoliversjunk.com to bid on items that will help us raise money for The Public Media Bridge Fund!

This auction is super cool. I wish I could afford literally anything. (I’d go for the signed bidet, tbh). But, you know, AI ate my job prospects.
Anyway, it’s raising money for public media… if you have money to spend on a good cause, give it a look.

Our season finale is about the vital role public media plays in the lives of many Americans, how the Trump Administration’s budget cuts could impact those Americans directly, and one small way we’re trying to make a difference. And yes, of course, there is a bidet involved.

i randomly started rewatching terminator dark fate last night but got distracted and now I've decided to rewatch 1984 terminator first to once again feel smug in my "dark fate was an intentional mimic of 1984, because that was the whole point of the changed fate stuff."

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
