US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Nowhere in #Gaza is safe. Not even inside a health facility.

Doctors Without Borders reiterates our call for all parties to protect medical facilities and ensure medical staff and patients do not come under fire.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I've just found an old recording of July 2024 when there was a hardcore suspension bug in Gran Turismo 7.

It's 16+ minutes of comedy gold.

Imagine Gran Turismo meets Tony Hawk, with all the unintentional spins and none of the intentional tricks.

I downloaded a sample to share here 😝

If you look at the difference in portraiture between the Roman republic & Empire it’s clear that the aesthetic changes from realism to idealism
From life to an unattainable beauty
This is what authoritarian art does
(See Nazi art) under the guise of being aspirational it is punitively diminishing1/2

It is impossible for any of us to be aware of every bit of evil & chaos being created by Trump & his evil minions

That’s why we need important work like this from #NPR
NEW: The Trump Administration is exempting new experimental nuclear reactors from environmental reviews.

The exclusion comes just days after NPR revealed the administration had secretly rewritten environmental and safety standards at the Department of Energy.

If you were born outside NH, you need to SWEAR AN OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO NH & GET A NH CITIZENSHIP CARD TO VOTE

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”
He’s going to tear it down

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

Do police officers in the US draw their guns for every traffic stop?

Of course not

For the last 4 1/2 years, I've been sending commentary at Life is a Sacred Text, week after week, Genesis through Deuteronomy--

and now, finally, after years and years and years, we've completed an incredible cycle.

Even though everything's hard, we still gotta pause & celebrate:
