Today I realized my dad was only 8 days older than Ruby Bridges.
It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Republicans can figure out a way to pay troops during the shutdown but won't lift a finger to help citizens on SNAP just to try and gain political points by blaming Democrats. He wants the troops loyal to him and the populace turned against his enemies. How very authoritarian of him.

Nope, I dont want Obama again. 1) It's against the Constitution, 2) He served his time, let him retire in peace. If we allow for an Obama third term, then we're necessarily allowing for a Trump third term, and we don't need that.

I get this a lot. I’m an abortion provider, and the CEO and President of an org known for abortion advocacy. Let’s talk about why I use inclusive language — and why I’m not stopping. 🧵

Let me preface this by saying that what they did was unequivocally wrong. From what it looks like, he stopped his bike in the middle of the crosswalk and stayed there, blocking them when the light turned green. They attacked him for a simple traffic offense, not for filming them.
Don’t dare record fascist goons! They’re kidnapping us citizens for doing so now in Chicago.

I miss the days where Hunters' Tenacity pets (particularly Beast Masters) could tank most single-player content without losing aggro.
Midnight hunter pet models added to the database tonight.
(A thread - I'll add one panel per post!)
First up, the gorgeous, ethereal new EVERSONG MANA WYRMS.
A stunning update, and a call-back to the wyrm in the BC trailer, which was a lot fancier than the game model ended up being.

This week Vivek Ramaswamy spoke at a Turning Point USA event originally scheduled to headlined by the late Charlie Kirk. But during the Q&A things took a turn as Ramaswamy fielded questions about his Hindu faith…🐆💀
