Looks like Spotify figured out how to be shittier than their previous record as a company whose founder funds an AI-powered war drone startup, by now running ads for ICE on their platform. It was a low bar, but they managed it!

“Wow! Season 2 doesn’t swear as much as season one! The writing is so much better” No season 2 swears about as much as season 1. Season 1 truly doesn’t swear as much as you think. You have literally created false fucks in your mind because the internet said so. It’s fascinating

Got mad that Netflix took off Crimson Peak so I bought the DVD and watched it that way. Good decisions were made. ✨

This is so small in the grand scheme of things, but man, seeing that Walmart has their Christmas stuff out in the middle of October does incite a level of rage in me.

The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at ilovelibraries.org/1984.
Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

$30M and 9 months?
It’s almost like you could… idk… hire a team with that kind of money and make a movie with them.

Welcome to McCarthyism 2.0. The difference this time is that it’s not a relatively junior Senator doing it via committee hearings, but the White House doing it with full cooperation from virtually every arm of the federal and red state governments.
If you click through to the video, you’ll hear a young woman repeatedly telling a college professor that President Trump has declared that what the Professor had been teaching is illegal and she’ll be meeting with the head of the university about it.
It’s chilling and scary.

Cannot believe this is my first time reading this. I realize this is definitely an ice cold take, but The Color Purple is SUCH a good book. I started this book Monday 😂
