“Emma Mackey stars in Ella McKay” is so freaking funny to me.

It’s like if instead of Annie Hall, Diane Keaton’s breakout film was titled “Deann Kingston.”

I’m just a 40+ midwestern white boy, but until this year I have never heard anyone claim that Mac & Cheese, Jello Salad, or Ham are essential parts of a Thanksgiving Feast.

Genuinely curious who has been putting these on their tables all these years.

Oh thank FUCK

(Does it mean that they won't on another case? Not necessarily. But every day it's safe is a day it's safe, and every flimsy pretext they deny is reassuring for the rule of law in the land.)

Ya'll, I'm scared. Since Express Scripts censors the name of my meds in all communications, I keep getting ominous messages like:

"the b**** has left the warehouse"
"your b**** is on the way"
"the b**** will be there tomorrow"
"expected today: b****"

Thus says the Lord: If you refuse to let my people go I will plague your whole country with frogs. They shall come up into your palace, into your bedchamber & your bed, and into the houses of your officials. The frogs shall come upon you, your people, and all your officials.

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

Father Larry did not come here to fuck around
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I'm old enough to remember when we had a Department of Defense that vowed to protect us from outside forces, instead of a Department of War that the president turned inward to go on the offensive against our own peaceful citizens and residents.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Abolish the 2nd Amendment.

newsom has made the calculation that he can win without the support of trans folks, homeless people, and their allies. that’s his prerogative. he’s free to try. but i don’t think it’s fair to get mad at those communities for a choice *he* made. he’s the one who decided he doesn’t want their vote!

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
