Nobody outside this country is wondering, like the pundit class does, what was wrong with Kamala Harris.

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.
When he was 14 years old, Rob Kenney's father abandoned him. After becoming an adult, he launched a YouTube channel called "Dad, How Do I do it?" that teaches kids how to do things a dad would normally teach them.

My sister showed me some really cool ballet slippers she drew (seriously, they were amazing) and it inspired me to get out my sketchpad and try to draw @realgdt.bsky.social 's The Creature. ❤️

LOL I can't draw hair very well and I gave up before I got to his coat 🤣
The Creature from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film. He has very deep-socketed eyes, stringy long hair, and a somewhat handsome yet terribly scarred face. He is looking past the viewer and frowning.

Happy Thanksgiving; fuck colonialism!

If you’re doing some shopping over the next few days, please support local and especially BIOOC-, queer-, and worker-owned businesses.

If you’re planning to spend money on subscriptions, please support worker-owned indie media.

Thanks!

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns
In a statement on Tuesday, the Interior Department, which manages federal land, said that, as of Jan. 1, it would more than triple the price of an annual park pass for nonresidents, from $80 to $250. Foreign tourists without an annual pass will also be charged $100 on top of the standard entrance fee to visit each of the 11 most popular national parks, including Yosemite, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain and the Grand Canyon.
