"I do feel bad for her. I mean, her friends probably shouldn’t have left her here. The room is hot as balls and I want to leave, but there’s no fucking way I try to get by the guys at the door. I don’t even really know these dudes." #flashfiction Tuesday: "Black Light" by Brigid M. Hughes

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

RIP to an amazing talent.

Fundamental problem in the country at the moment is that Republicans in power believe their boss is Trump, not the American people. Should be immediately disqualifying.

Clang the bells! The @wigleaf.bsky.social Long List and Top 50 list is up www.wigleaf.com.🎈 Special thanks to Guest Selecting Editor, @andrewporter01.bsky.social. Gratitude also to our team who spent countless hours reading. And big 🙏 to Scott Garson without whom this list wouldn't exist! 🌷🌷

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “The 🇺🇸 are tired of Netanyahu’s arrogance. They think we should tell him 🇺🇸 calls the shots. They want LESS cooperation and blank checks to 🇮🇱, not MORE.” He moved to block integrating 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 militaries as Bibi asked for. (while pretending he wants less aid)

Holy fuck, they not only cut the whistleblower's break line, they disabled his airbag and other safety features.

The targeting or removal of journalists like Scott Pelley should concern every American, regardless of political affiliation. A free press &the First Amendment are essential safeguards of democracy.Free speech & a free press are not partisan values they are the foundation of a free society. #SheShed

Scott Pelley learns that "deep, revelatory journalism" now comes with an expiration date from Trump. After calling out the new guard’s questionable qualifications, the "60 Minutes" stalwart was promptly shown the door, proving that at today’s CBS, accountability is strictly for everyone else

When ACA premium tax credits were boosted, record numbers of Americans got covered. Republicans let those credits expire, then turned around and backed Trump’s $200B Iran war ask. Less care, more war. #FundHealthcareNotWar

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

It only takes a few minutes to tell the FCC that this sucks

Birds Are Dinosaurs@birdsaredinosaurs.bsky.social · 5mo ago

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

I understand the cynicism Ohioans are feeling. Many people think the system is too broken and that we can’t fix it. But I know Ohioans, and when we fight for change, we make it happen.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

The extended libity bibidty cinematic universe fucking sucks.

Ahh, yes, the unpopular decisions like “black people don’t deserve political representation,” or “rich people should be able to control everything,” or “women shouldn’t be in charge of their bodies.” Truly a man committed to justice.

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social · 6mo ago

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Not new idea but if i were a dogooder with actual money concerned about media i would pick a dozen medium sized cities in swingy states and bring back local journalism.
