This is honestly the first I’ve heard of this, and it’s utterly disgusting. He’s the MAYOR OF NEW YORK. Of course he should be there. (Also, he was 9 years old on 9/11. If he is somehow responsible for all Muslims forever, I’ve got bad news for Christian mayors.)

#lawsky talk me off the ledge plz. Do you ever get to the point of feeling like you know what you’re doing?

Sometimes it hits me just how much we’ve lost as a country in such a short period of time. If any other politician had put his name on something like this in the past, there would have been a massive, career-ending public shaming. But now it’s just another day.

A lot can be said about Dolly Parton, but for now, I will say that she wrote "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" on the SAME FUCKING DAY. Talent like that is one in a billion.

This is such a terrible answer. Jeffries had such promise and turned into such a coward. Democratic Socialists belong in the Democratic Party regardless of whether you personally agree or not - we are big tent party with a diversity of views and should be open to all possible solutions.

Speaking as someone with two opera degrees and a decade-long stint as a professional opera singer, the suggestion that the average viewer will find opera less boring than a Christopher Nolan movie is beyond laughable. I will not click, because clearly this is bait.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners [and on airplanes] to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full." Jesus, Matthew 6:5 (with edit)

Ugh tonight’s #loveislandusa was revolting in two ways - the challenge was physically disgusting and 50% of the voting was *barf*. And Melanie has learned nothing.

When it happens, it will be like the last scene of Don Giovanni. The statue of Lincoln at the Memorial will come to life. The “slit” in the reflecting pool will open into a vast hellmouth, and Abe will drag him to hell.

Hey, remember when Hillary Clinton called half of Trump’s supporters “deplorable” and it was front-page news for weeks? Good times…

Hi y’all. Got suspended for a few days for “suspicious activity.” If you saw anything weird, I was probably hacked. What did I miss?

Goddamn, @jasonkpargin.bsky.social - I did not expect to cry in my car on the way to work listening to the audiobook of I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom, but that’s what happened. Well done!

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

Come ON. Where's the red line for Congressional Republicans before they put a stop to this? We're seeing multiple events every day that leave Watergate in the dust. The Republicans who confronted Nixon after the Saturday Night Massacre are viewed as heroes - is no one willing to be those guys today?

Um… not to overreact, but this seems like an incredibly big deal, right?

Feh. Sinners should have won for visual effects too. That shot of the two of them sharing a cigarette is a such a flex. #oscars

My most inconsequential mind-blowing realization is that, in My Cousin Vinny, for Vinny to have asked Mona Lisa those questions on the stand, he must ALSO have known all those things about rear differential and positraction and stuff. #lawsky

I don't know which is the funniest / most irritating side of Legal TikTok - the junior BigLaw associates doing their GRWMs and billable hour vibe checks, or the old white men giving advice like it's still the 80s (like the guy talking about how baby lawyers start with the BMW 3 series). #LawSky

"I voted for Trump because I wanted him to oppress the gays, not me!" I know we need to have a big tent to welcome back those who regret their vote, but it's difficult to have any empathy for someone who is this misinformed and hateful.

This is the right response. Separately - Why does ICE even have service weapons? They are not trained law enforcement officers in any sense. This was murder and people need to be arrested.
