Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

This seems like only a terrible idea.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Absolutely shameful

A dark day for human rights.

Innocent

Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire continue to abuse YouTube's copyright system in order to suppress criticism

#avengersdoomsday is either going to be amazing or a bigger dumpster fire than the theatrical cut of Justice League. If it ends up just OK, I’ll honestly be let down. von doom no

In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery. Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade. TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?

Other countries can do it apnews.com/article/sout...

this is where your money goes when you buy harry potter stuff. rowling isn’t shy about it. amnesty wrote an even-handed report that laid out what anti-rights groups do; rowling uses her billions & clout to suppress it. when you give rowling money; she spends it on stealing people’s human rights.

I don’t think there’s a game I hate more that I never actually played than The Last of Us.

Most video essays are garbage, but Cypher is an obvious exception. And he has a very good kitty.

The most important quote in my indoctrination myth episode

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

#xmen97 seems to be doing an unofficial Star Trek TNG reunion. We had Gates McFadden in one episode, then Michael Dorn and John deLancie in another. If Brent Spiner shows up too…

This is the third sodding time I’ve had to “buy” a new copy of Microsoft office. Enshitification; it’s real, kiddies…

One of the most important job skills I’ve learned in Japan is how to make a great cup of tea and/or coffee. Employees come and go, but the bosses always remember who prepares their drink

This whole mess with #playstation has made me realize something I think I’ve been mentally preparing myself for since 2015; I’m ready to give up #videogames. Not entirely mind you. I’ll still play, but mostly older titles. Thinking of modding my SNES Classic.

Okay, I am going to be the witch of the week for saying this.. But if you pre-order the 80 or 100 dollar versions of #GTAVI / #GTA6? I never want to hear a single word from you ever again on the state of the games industry. You're part of the problem. You're telling them you're okay with it.

Seems like a good time to remind people the USWNT has won 4 World Cups! ⚽️

Making fun of Taco always hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂 #belgium #fifa

YOU KNOOOOE, SNAAAAAAAKE! WE POSSESS CUUUUURSED GENES!

Democrats absolutely screwed themselves and all of us on this.

Reminded that Trump was the one who originally wanted to ban TikTok after kids on TikTok reserved a bunch of fake seats for a rally, leaving an empty stadium. And then the Democrats handed him the ban (because they were upset that kids were saying mean things about Israel) for Trump to "save."

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Worldwide fireworks displays were secretly launched by Chiitan all along.

I really really don’t think we’re emphasizing enough how much these people hate us…

C’mon Texans. You can do better than this clown show. Throw in Abbott and Paxton and it’s a criminal circus. Change it. Start with Talarico.

I feel there’s a metaphor…
