THE DISSIDENTS a suspenseful political thriller, a true story about a group of political cartoonists who were put on trial for daring to dissent. It's a story that connects the troubling events of today to seeds that were sown over 100 years ago. Out September 15. From Abrams Comicarts.
It's wild that the president of the united states holds rallies where he regularly spends at least a few minutes just slandering and insulting an entire group of people and it's just treated like no big deal
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "The transgender mutilization of our children. I've looked at men playing in women's sports. It's very unfair. I had a top NFL football player standing next to a wonderful female athlete, and they were playing a game of football, if you can believe it. This game did not work out very well."
>>They did so despite this man’s administration erasing Jackie Robinson’s military service from the Department of Defense website, trashing it as “DEI.”<<

Everyone is all Jimothy this and Jimothy that, but what about WORSHIP this? And JERICHO that?
I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film

There’s a scene in the dystopian sci-fi movie Minority Report where Tom Cruise’s character is riding in an autonomous vehicle that gets remotely commandeered by the police to bring him into custody. The audience is supposed to see this as flagrant disregard for privacy and due process.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

Now that he has 40x more Instagram followers than the population of his home country the pressure on Vozinha to start pumping out good content has to be enormous
I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.
And this is why we buy physical media if possible and why they want to keep making it harder to do that.
