I don’t know if Carrie Fisher and Dolly Parton ever met but if they did, I’m a little upset I didn’t get to hear that exchange.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

An even more remarkable map at 4pm local time as additional locations reach/break all-time temperature records in Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. Notably, multiple locations in eastern MT are in 110-115F range, & 109F breaks Salt Lake City's all-time record (again). #UTwx #MTwx #WYwx

I liked the version of the country where racists were constantly afraid of being outed and stayed out of sight. This version, masked or not, needs to be shamed back into hiding.

Competitive high school sports are not about gladiatorial domination; they exist to teach kids teamwork, comradery, promote exercise, and give them a sense of accomplishment. I can think of no better way to accomplish those goals than to compete alongside our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings.

It really is a very lucky turn of events to have lived while John Williams and Steven Spielberg were both creating art, and the fact that they do it together really is that much more extraordinary.

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Speak to them like you would any other adult from the earliest age. Use big words and let them use context to figure out the meanings or ask about it. Watch and note what approaches to learning work for them and lean in on those approaches, even when it’s different from their siblings.

The Mandalorian and Grogu: Danger in the Dark is coming to you July 22 from Star Wars and @madcavestudios.com. Written by me, art by Mario del Pennino and Arianna Florean, with whom I worked on The X-Files! Can't wait for y'all to read this all-ages adventure! Read the captions for more info.
Mando, Grogu, and four Anzellans are surrounded by CRAZY CRITTERS in a dark cave. What could be happening? What are these beasts? READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!Mando is fed up. Up to here. Right here. Because THIS BABY and THESE FOUR ANZELLANS are all CAUSING PROBLEMS and why can't Mando have A SINGLE MOMENT OF PEACE.Imagine you are Din Djarin, a very serious bounty hunter turned father, and you are swinging across a LAVA PIT, and there are five little guys CLINGING TO YOU and one of them probably PEED HIS PANTS although that line GOT CUT FROM THE COMIC.

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
