Listening to Deftones “Be Quiet and Drive” while holding a sleeping baby is certainly a great way to spend a Saturday night.

I'm sorry but the best comparison for Wicked is that it's Solo with singing. It is absolutely wild how many things they try to explain the origin of that really didn't need to be explained. There's an explanation of how the good witch loses her sleeves

Zoran’s win is a sign. It’s a manifestation of the will of the people, saying ‘no more bullshit.’ We’re sick of the establishment ‘left’ that every other first world democracy would consider center-right.
Do you want cool shit like Canada/Australia have? Elect more people like AOC & Zoran.

Of course, this is precisely why we expect law enforcement to wear badges and uniforms and show identification. Anyone could have foreseen (and many of us did) that this would be a serious side-effect of ICE's insistence on behaving like unaccountable thugs.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:
FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

A lot of the people celebrating Dick Cheney’s death today as though he somehow shaped the modern political climate seem to be conveniently forgetting that he also hunted a guy.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

One of my boys' favorite boss fights in Kingdom Hearts.
Can't wait to show them the short one day:
It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

The silliest Twitter controversies were always, "I'm sorry but I just refuse to believe [celebrity] could make this tasteless joke about MURDER and somehow NOT know this is Murder Awareness Month."

Ah, that’s right.
I’m the parent of a newborn.
Which means there’s these wonderful 1-3 minute segments of my day where I’m not sure if my baby is alive or dead and I can’t be sure until I poke her belly and see her startled arms shoot up.
