They need to bring back intermissions for movies. The best part of the opera is taking a break in the middle to get a little coffee and a little snack and see what everyone else is wearing. I will accept a long movie if they add an intermission

Poll True or false a movie's ability to be rated 5 stars hinges directly on whether or not it has a runtime absolutely not a second longer than 120 minutes oh what's that we don't have polls weird well it's True

pov: you are definitely not breaking the law

Recently people in central Ohio where large populations of Haitian migrants live have noticed an increased amount of ICE vehicles around their areas. In Columbus, OH there was a noise demo outside the hotel ICE was staying in until around midnight when their check out was scheduled for 6am.

The only creative industry that is inarguably both doing well and doing great work right now is "new baseball guy names."

Jhomnardo Reyes is going to the Orioles for Dean Kremer, per source.

it feels notable that the most recent example of what this tech wishes it was is the new Blade Runner movie, where its target audience is an artificial person with no human rights who spends his days as a disposable meat sack tasked with murdering his own kind.

Today in luxury surveillance.

So are they ever gonna start making and selling witch hats or is this not the show for me

Still reeling from going to the zoo this weekend and seeing an orangutan, which is basically a person, just sitting there in a hammock. I was tearing up imagining being a sentient creature in a captivity, then looked at my husband, who sighed a troubled sigh and murmured, “I wish I were in a zoo”

I love her!!!!!

Cool new behavior caught on video! This is a special type of octopus known as a #papernautilus (aka #argonaut) and her shell is a little less than 5cm. Watch as she extends and retracts her fleshy mantle - at the end, she rapidly retracts it all! #blackwater #blackwaterdiving

We don’t talk enough about how DOGE was led by one of the greatest beneficiaries of government money.

Same for Thiel. Same for so many. Government created them. They should be cut off.

If governments turned off the spigot of money to Musk, he’d be done.

Yell at your electeds when they screw up. They deserve it and sometimes it works.

Met this sad robot in the Alps.

a great piece from Parker that i hope you all read. i would humbly add that no matter the issue, policy, statement, or scandal, we’re more than a decade into the MAGAverse and have seen how little we gain with cries of “aha, hypocrite!”—these freaks can’t act in good faith and don’t deserve yours

Every time someone calls Hegseth's testosterone program or Elon's hair plugs "gender affirming care," I wince. Speaking only for myself, and I know the jokes are well-intentioned: I wish we'd retire this one. New from me on why. www.readtpa.com/p/theres-no-...

It's berry season and you have the tiniest friends. These critically endangered babies are Egyptian tortoises that hatched on July 4 and 6, 2026. Currently, our Egyptian tortoises are living behind the scenes in a warm and cozy habitat with lots of attention from their dedicated animal keepers.

In Minnesota, girls sell lemonade on the street to help their sisters arrested by ICE. Stephen Miller’s goons are very much still here. Sign reads, “Please help us raise money for my sisters because they were arrested by ICE” & this has been confirmed by trusted community members.

Good news: the kidnapping victim was able to access legal support thanks to neighbors being on the ball with the rapid response hotline! If you’re in SF, save 4152001548 to your phone along with the acronym SALUTE, which tells you what to report: Size Activity Location Unit (e.g ICE) Time Equipment

ICE kidnapped someone in broad daylight in San Francisco Tuesday morning, right next to a popular breakfast spot. They’re abducting and killing people again all across the country. I haven’t been able to get any information on what happened to the victim

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

little to add to Platner discourse that others haven't said better. so i'll just say once again that the era of consequence free politics is no good and it is important to bring back shame

we should bring back shame actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

I somehow completely missed this probably because they started a new war but the forest service under the Trump administration has been dousing California’s forests in fucking RoundUp because they want to log them??? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We are bombarding America’s forests with Roundup

Scientists are wary of glyphosate. MAHA loathes it. And our investigation shows California is spraying it everywhere.

One of my hardest-won political lessons is that it’s never, ever worth it to treat ppl as ~indispensable no matter what they do~ —bc we *see* the contributions & potential of the abusive men & we don’t get to see that in the women they drive out. We never actually get to know what we’ve squandered

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last mo.

this dynamic described by jenny racicot is, as i understand it, very common among progressive women in maine. they’ve been put in an impossible position and feel like they’re tanking platner’s campaign when in reality he did that on his own by being a violent and reckless person.

I just like I dunno I think it’s really bad that there’s one pro-rape party and one party that’s opposed to any consequences for the pro-rape party and that’s what we’ve got? And we’re not even allowed to talk about rape culture anymore because we were told that’s not a thing anymore

“But policy—“ Republicans truly do not care about your policy they just want to know that you either have raped someone or you at least think rape is good that’s it that’s the sole criteria (caveat: you must have raped someone to be considered for higher offices like Supreme Court or the presidency)

The wild thing to me is there are two major political parties in this country and one of them has being pro-rape as its sole uniting principle but rapists sometimes choose to run for the other one
