Okay apparently a lot of people need to hear this, so here's the link.

Repeatedly. Starting with the rapes. A separate impeachment for each rape. Present full evidence at each trial. If the republicans get tired of nonstop impeachment trials, they can convict and remove. Otherwise, they can explain why they let him get away with his rapes and other crimes.

The audience doesn't have a responsibility to make your film turn a profit. If they want to see it, they'll be there. If it's good then the art will sustain over time. If that's not good enough then change the economics of film exhibition or use different metrics for success.

Bill Essayli has been disqualified from leading the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. The order doesn't go into effect right away, though. The Trump admin keeps losing these cases everywhere.

Despite the Christian Nationalist propaganda you were taught in schools, the Pilgrims didn't flee to America because they hated religious persecution--they just wanted to be ones who got to do it. It's an attitude still embraced by this country's conservative Christians. Glory!

Carter, back on the bench, says there will be a ruling by tomorrow. "This court thinks it would be wise that any threats to state or local officials should cease immediately." "You'll hear from me tomorrow."

I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.

A young woman from Virginia was in the middle of a road trip when police pulled her over, because Flock flagged her vacation route as "suspicious." This is unacceptable — where we drive is none of the government's business.

oh this is gonna get played back in court

Something to cling to and promote the hell out of: leveraging POSITIVE TIPPING POINTS www.theguardian.com/environment/...

it's like the opposite of Angelo Badalamenti's story about creating the soundtrack for Twin Peaks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-eq...

lmao what no concept artist takes *2 weeks* to sketch one basic figure also it's 100% on you for not writing an art brief anyway. you can't say "draw any girl idc" and then get mad that the artist drew a girl without any of the specific details you wanted and chose not to articulate...

Bolosonaro is being investigated for being on honest to God Brazilian crime lord who was running to do for him and his crime family what our President did for his, lost, then fled Brazil illegally, and if Dems aren’t running this story 24/7 for the next week they are leaving real votes on the table.

So these are the names JD Vance can't pronounce: Bahrain Egypt Iran Iraq Israel Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Oman Palestine Qatar Saudi Arabia Syria Turkey United Arab Emirates Yemen

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

I don't know where to begin with a favorite performance, but when this came out I couldn't stop listening to it. I had it on loop in the BG for days while I drew bc the sheer adrenaline pumping joy and mania of his voice was crack. That little cackle he does at the six second mark. I just love it

I...worked on this story for a decade...and...he just...he blurted it out.

It’s just fucking blatant.

Someone queue up the montage.

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

As the article notes, he's running for the House in TN's gerrymandered 9th District against @justinjpearson.bsky.social, who was only four points behind in the polls when this story broke. Might be too late to pull it out, but wave elections can be tricky. If you're in the area, get involved!

Surprising exactly zero people, "forgive my youthful indescretions committed at age 53" guy recently sponsored a law to get 15-year-olds tried as adults. nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/15/n...

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

The CA vote purge case just keeps getting weirder. Yesterday the DOJ filed supplemental declarations, including from a Shasta Co official named Clinton Curtis, who turns out to be a wackodoo who claimed he could tell fake ballots by smell. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

And @rachaelsmith.bsky.social is the master of relatable, heartbreaking, cartooning, getting to the core of human oddness, which should resonate with #Murderbot readers! 5/5 www.rachaelsmith.org/about

Might start a petition to get him a full refund from Yale.

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

MJ: Why today on this one case are you, the United States, changing the way it has done things in its entire history? DOJ: To be clear, we're ready for a probable cause finding. We can put witness up ready to prove up probable cause and they can cross examine him.

And if you're looking for a clear example of how EA leadership seemingly cannot fail, here's a perfect anecdote:

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Well played

the shit they've said today is so fucking far beyond the pale that their careers should be completely fucking over today. They should be grilled by the media for the next WEEK continuously about what they've said. Every mention of them should be prefaced with it, like they do for hasan piker

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
