Some men just want to watch the world burn. Others want to watch CRASH & BURN, the giant robot movie.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.
E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom. Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings. Hook poster, 1991 Back to the Future poster, 1985

A happy spooky #moviemonday to you all. This week I thought I would highlight YET ANOTHER late period John Carpenter movie people erroneously derided to me for years, until I watched it and realized it actually cooks and they were wrong.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

I'm absolutely convinced what makes Shakespeare inaccessible to a lot of audiences isn't the iambic pentameter old english it's the fact most plays are rehearsed as spoken verses and not acted with meaning

because when actors actually act out what they're saying it is So Clear

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

June, 1993. I exhale loudly and pat my brow. The desert is punishingly hot but we’ve had a magnificent expedition so far. Specimens we never could have imagined, and the best possible team. Yet nothing makes me happier than the chance to share my work with my son. He’s struggling a bit at school, being bullied over his weight and so forth, and trying out a new, more combative personality. It’s not totally working, if I’m being honest, but I’m glad he’s asserting himself. In any case, science requires confidence, and Dr. Grant, our team leader, will make a marvelous role model. But wait, what’s this? I look over and see Dr. Grant giving some personal attention to my son! And he appears to be showing him a dinosaur claw! Incredible! I can already tell that this is going to be one of the best weeks of my son’s life
