I don't know where to share this, so I'll share it here: Shahrzad from The Wrath and the Dawn webtoon is a copy of J'mon Sa Ord from Vox Machina. I'm just now watching Vox and my jaw was on the floor when J'mon appeared. I love both but damn! It's not even subtle

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

Love is Blind should be called Dating is Blind, and it would still be a dramatic/entertaining show without the obligatory engagement & proposal. Sounds like way less pressure and way more fun, imo.

I’m watching part one of “Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time” on Hulu and a community organizer pointed out that the evacuation order ahead of the storm came “at the worst time in America to be poor: the end of the month. If you don’t have any money, how can you leave?”

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

I reviewed K-POP DEMON HUNTERS, a fun and lively hour of cinema attached to a rushed, generic final act. Gorgeous animation throughout, though and the little demon tiger is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Let me get this straight: Israel & Iran are on the brink of war, Captain Bone Spurs opts to sleep through "Les Miz" rather than gather his cabinet in the Situation Room?

And now while this new war escalates he's throwing himself a $100M Military Parade Birthday Party?

Is this dereliction of duty?!

I am done being sad about anti-DEI measures & am solidly back in the succeeding-by-spite mode.

It got me through undergrad, & grad school, & my postdoc & my first asst prof position. Want me to jump through hoops for funding? Fine. I'll jump over the hoops & teach the next gen how to do it too.

Teachers at American schools abroad took down posters of Harriet Tubman to comply with Trump’s anti-DEI orders. But middle school students in Stuttgart, Germany, walked out in protest when Pete Hegseth and his wife visited.

The American schools at the NATO headquarters were scrambling to comply with Trump diversity, equity and inclusion rollbacks. An expected visit from Pete Hegseth’s wife intensified that effort.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
