🚨 A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered an investigation into JD Vance’s billionaire donor network over alleged efforts to assist Flávio Bolsonaro’s failed presidential campaign. The Rockbridge Network has ties to Peter Thiel, Rebekah Mercer, and other powerful MAGA donors.

¡Qué lo que Nueva York! What a privilege it was to be the Padrino of honor at today’s Gran parada Dominicana del Bronx, where thousands of New Yorkers came together to celebrate Dominican heritage.

I don’t often post art on social media, especially with how much data scraping there is, but looking back at this piece i did last year I dont hate it lol.

Pixel art card titled “The Whisper”. The card art shows a woman with a brown hair, center parted, dark red upper lip and light red lower lip, mouth open. There are gold corners in the card.

I'm seeing some of these AI cover images for singles/album covers and know that a low quality night photo with a too bright flash near some trees or an old building would just be so much better. Like there are so many low cost or free options that are far more endearing/memorable.

Part of the strategy the anti trans side had was normalizing bathroom bans in government buildings which are now in effect in over 20 states. They'll move to private businesses quickly in a legislative cycle and make it so opposition can't be mounted effectively.

Ohio just introduced HB798, an omnibus anti-trans bill that targets every aspect of trans peoples lives. It bans trans people from bathrooms, even in private businesses. It retroactively bans gender marker changes on birth certificates and drivers licenses. It compels misgendering in schools.

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

The Supreme Court just struck down Colorado's conversion therapy ban. They have now legalized the systematic torture of LGBTQ youth and invalidated the laws that protect them from this abuse. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

It's truly disturbing watching trans people, mostly trans women, who are still regularly on X get their brains cooked in real time and start internalizing anti trans positions and try to police the community or give into far right framings. You are not immune from the propaganda.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work. It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus. Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election

Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

Condensing ranks and purposely placing players below their calculated mmr is wild to me. What do you mean I have to ruin like 20 matches to get close to where my rank is? I don't want to smurf, just let me gain more RR faster so I stop destroying lobbies.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top.

The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements:

    Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below.

    Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam.

    Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground.

    Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched.

The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.
