We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

The Danish capital is obsessed with this stripped-down snack, and the city’s top bakeries won’t stop until they’ve perfected it.

I like living in a city but this kind of news makes me want to move to a remote but picturesque gay town in Montana.

I really don't think most people appreciate how much damage air pollution does to our bodies & brains. Even in the last 10 years the science has progressed a ton & everything it has discovered is *grim*.

I know people are raving about this show but I cannot imagine watching the horrors of the modern world projected onto my cave in my own damn free time.

A case centered on a fatal family tragedy tied to a chatbot cuts to one of the biggest ethical issues facing the tech industry today.

this is my safe space to admit that I hate James Bond.

Right now, somewhere on a soundstage at Pinewood Studios, several young British actors are lining up to have their dreams crushed.

Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer" Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

This is the face you see when you complain to your church or christian school about a sex pest in leadership

Saw a photo of Trump's campaign manager for the first time today. Does it make sense when I say it's like Karens have a system of mobility

Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 2d ago

It is kind of crazy how much I used airbnb in the early days and found great cheap places to stay, and often would meet nice locals with friendly info to share about their neighborhoods. And now the entire thing just... sucks? I don't even consider using it anymore. It's been years.

Criminalization is the fuel for fascism.

The Devils was to be a one-week-only release, launching WB's new indie-ish and rerelease label Clockwork (which will purportedly survive the Skydance purchase). But it's done such big business ($2.3 million in five days) that it's staying in theaters. If you can, see this wild piece of film history.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 3d ago

Just saw the restored, NC-17 version of The Devils. 55 years later, Ken Russell remains A LOT, for better and worse. But OMG, Vanessa Redgrave. One of our greatest actresses 100% committing to a part that could have been camp. She and Derek Jarman's production design lift this into the stratosphere.

this interview with Ilhan Omar is so sad. She is poised and strong.

genuinely heartbreaking that a nonprofit for trans youth in Texas (of all nasty horrible places) is suspending programs because they’re rightly worried about physical safety

New: OutYouth, an LGBTQ+ youth program in Austin, says it's briefly closing for safety reasons because it was mentioned in the fake trans resource guide pamphlets that went out this week across Texas - www.chron.com/culture/arti...

this is an insane way to frame this attempted murder. i hope that chud rots

Ryan Fonseca@ryan-fonseca.bsky.social · 3d ago

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

So anyway, these guys are all still employed in journalism. I'm not. Journalism didn't break my heart. White supremacy, prejudice, callousness, fascism broke my fucking heart.

imagine debasing yourself for Michele Tafoya of all people.

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · 3d ago

Some wild blame shifting going on in this headline.

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

A driver passed too close to cyclists. Now he could die in prison.

A Georgia driver caught on video colliding with group of cyclists on a country road in Cherokee County could go to prison. He insists he did nothing wrong.

It's nice to be reminded that good things can still happen.

My hot take is The West Wing gets way too much heat for delusional Democratic bipartisanship The real enemy is Team of Rivals Doris Kearns Goodwin you doomed the Republic

Hate ‘Baby Shark’? Can’t stand the Matters? Banish them all from your kids’ Netflix feeds for good with this guide.

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

The White House official accounts are posting Down Syndrome slurs to attack journalists. These people are disgusting and morally depraved.
