In honor of Mitch McConnell, I hereby propose that we retire the term "Karen" and replace it with "Mitch." Nobody named Karen has ever smugly exploited this country's racism on a grander scale than Mitch when blocked a SCOTUS nominee knowing that the Senate would let him do it to a black President.
The management company for the Lyric Theatre ought to kick Harry Potter and the Cursed Child out of their Broadway house. If just one of J.K.'s business partners drops the brand it will send a message that everybody else is free to stop doing business with her too.
Matt CohenImagine sending J.K. Rowling regular royalty checks and then having the nerve to pretend you care about Pride month.
One of the many awful things about AI is that chatbots are imitating human *empathy* (and turning it into mindless validation of the user.) I'm worried that genuine empathy will start to sound "fake" now that bots are copying it. The bots already sullied em dashes; now they're tainting empathy.
Marvin The Paranoid Android: It's Even Worse Than I ThoughtALT: Marvin The Paranoid Android: It's Even Worse Than I Thoughtstatic.klipy.comI'm proud to say that while other media outlets were busy whitewashing Elon Musk's white supremacy, MAD Magazine had the journalistic courage to let me call him a bigot. Twice.
Paris MarxAfter The Economist’s interview with Elon Musk, will major media finally reassess how they cover the fascist billionaire? As its editor-in-chief did the rounds saying she was “not a Musk hater,” he was on X calling her a traitor to the West and suggesting she be murdered. Please, have some dignity.
This news story from 1940 feels relevant in light of Limp Donny's demented rant about his dreams of interfering with elections.
Matt CohenThe effort to pass the SAVE Act reminds me of this old 1940 newspaper clipping that my dad found. It's about one man's adventures in voter suppression. The headline reads "Democrat Abandoned Atop House--Walter Cook, Roofer, Unable to Get Down to Vote When GOP Employer Takes Ladder." (1/X)
This shit is not inevitable, it could be made illegal tomorrow if our governments weren't in the pocket of Big Pervert.
Unofficial CTV News MirrorAI devices that see, listen and record: Are we ready for the post-smartphone world?
Next weekend fans of Greek mythology can see a hell of a double feature! Forget Barbenheimer and get ready for... The Hadyssey? Odystown?
Stephen Miller’s rhetoric is dehumanizing, his hatred is palpable. I will never understand how a Jew could dishonor our history m by spewing such hatred. And I will never understand how someone could listen to this and think: yep, that’s the worldview I want to subscribe to. My heart is so heavy.
Julia Jester“The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy,” Stephen Miller said in his remarks on the "mortal threat" of far-left violence, a "fatal cancer to civilization" My dispatch from Rubio's summit on political terrorism (w/ @davidrohde.bsky.social): www.ms.now/news/rubio-a...

Bathroom bans are effectively unenforceable on the public. Where the anti trans side innovated is focusing on places where they have leverage over trans people, mainly government employees and students. They can fire trans employees and expel trans students. lawrencekstimes.com/2026/07/13/t...
Transgender employee at KU reported for using the bathroomA transgender woman who works at KU was notified Friday that she had been reported for using the women’s restroom.lawrencekstimes.comHappy #PortfolioDay! I'm an Eisner Award nominated writer who can't draw, but here are some samples of my work illustrated by Marc Palm, @gemmacorrell.bsky.social, @aledles.bsky.social, and @charratastica.bsky.social! I'm currently writing novels and graphic novels (while also seeking a new agent.)
trans kids have always been the canary in the coalmine. that's why giving in on "just that" and assuming it would make the goons go away has always been infuriatingly obtuse.
James GoodwinMy god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
