Okay, let me start a new #HouseMusic thread.

First thing's first: I need to post a few junts by the legendary Ron Carroll, who passed away two Sundays ago. RIP!

To not only have a consistently illustrious career but to also have literally one of the greatest cinematic characters of all time in your repertoire is a great feat.

So, I've been really interested in some of the more racy romance/erotic fiction and wondering "How would I as a man write this in a way that doesn't feel read like dudebro horseshit?"

I just really wish someone in the world of punditry would say, out loud, that Trump's obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize is entirely because That Black Man got one.

One of my favorite quotes I’ve heard across some of these short Chinese dramas:

“To be merciful to those who hurt you is the greatest cruelty to yourself.”

They really do use your mercy to continue to hurt you.

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 8h

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Let's note that Christopher Caldwell, who gets to defend Hegseth’s rabidly bigoted, sexist speech in the New York Times, wrote a whole book about how the Civil Rights Act constitutes an illegitimate departure from the Constitution.

So, of course he is on board with imposing white male domination.
