Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef
Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory
Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

Fare free transit is an economic, racial, & climate justice issue, and it's high time we invest in public transit as the public good that it is.
I'm reintroducing the Freedom to Move Act with @markey.senate.gov to close transit equity gaps and make our communities more connected.

This is my exact experience. Jesse Eisenberg seems to genuinely be lovely and I'm so sorry I disliked him so long!
i'll fess up: for the last like fifteen years i despised Jesse Eisenberg on reflex. anytime he came up in a movie I'd say, nah, not for me, fuck that guy.
turns out i just hated Mark Zuckerberg so much my hate boomeranged around to Jesse. kinda a compliment to his acting when you think about it
