My fucking mind is blown. I'm watching Agatha Christie's 13 at Dinner (1985) and Inspector Japp is played by none other than Poirot himself, David Suchet. Poirot in this movie is played once again by Peter Ustinov.
Ustinov saying that the suspect said publicly that she will kill in order to gain her freedom. Suchet saying he has to get back to the suspect's flat.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Once you start conceding ground to the “protect sports” angle in order to win an election you’re not fighting for anyone’s rights

I like these ads from democrats responding to trans panic nonsense that are like “I believe in FAIRNESS in sports” and its really good that you’re engaging the wackjob republicans on this. It’s always good to give your opponent a free ad. You’re political masterminds.

The guy who fixes my bike out of his van invited me to his new beer release party in October at the new microbrewery and i feel like I've leveled up into a whole new annoying white person.

“And when one of them told an ICE agent that he was a US citizen, one of them allegedly said, ‘I don’t care, your parents can’t help you now.’” Susan Collins stole our tax dollars to fund this terrorism across our communities.

Update: I just spoke to former Haymarket Town Council member Madhu Panhti. The Manassas-based effort to support the surviving families from the flood in Nepal 3 weeks ago has raised >$71K of their $100K goal. I chipped in again, so please join me by donating and 🔃: funds.anhsdc.org (⬇️ Reuters, 9/14)
“There are 5,130 people still reported missing on the Nepal side of the border ​after the flood caused by a glacial collapse swept down the mountains, killing at least 1,386 people. In China, at least 43 people were killed and 519 are missing, including many foreigners.“

an important thing is that four decades ago these same fifty people worked at AEI and for Reagan, and they all slapped each other on the back and talked about how voters wanted small government and low taxes on rich people, and it turned out their voters didn’t give a shit about that at all

voter abstention this, voter abstention that, the obvious answer here is that Democrats could and should just support trans people. if you're on the left and consider yourself on the left in any capacity you should just be supporting trans folk

On IG right now is this very funny actor from Ghosts doing a spot on baseball announcer voice but saying nonsense words and then women are using that voice as audio for their reels talking about what they have to hear for the next 18 weeks and the men getting mad because it's football not baseball.

Reminder: Biden’s admin oversaw the largest crackdown of student protests in decades. He oversaw snipers being deployed on college campuses. For students reading in tents.

Central planning doesn't work because a few bureaucrats can't allocate resources efficiently for a massive country. That's why we love the free market, where a few billionaires do that

It started with the political press being stenographers for government, now tech and business press are stenographers for the tech industry We don't have to take their claims at face value! We can evaluate things people say!

If you want a rational conversation about tradeoffs you should start by demanding honesty from the industry that has been lying about this technology since its inception, not to mention one of the common talking points being "You're getting this whether you like it or not"

I asked if there's a shuttle that goes to downtown New Orleans from the airport and the guy sort of chuckled and said no but there IS a bus that does that after I offered that I thought there was regular transport provided by the city. Sheesh, are you a "that's not a boat, that's a ship" guy too?

The Supreme Court blocked the student loan forgiveness despite there being explicit statutory authority for Biden to do it and allowed the Iran War despite an explicit Constitutional prohibition on anyone besides Congress declaring a war.

My Instagram is flooded with kangaroo tail vs oxtail content. People seem convinced kangaroo tail has a certificate telltale (haha) bone structure and we're all getting cheated. The evidence for this is... just randos picking at oxtail and saying it's roo and then AI images trying to compare them.

Seeing a lot of "whom couldst have foreseen" posts from barely sentient farmers who voted for this 3 times in a row and getting justifiably skewered by the people who are literally and figuratively stitching them up. I'm trying to take it as a good sign but we've been through all this before.
