Seriously @nytimes.com , knock it off. Do you know why "many legal experts" feel this way? BECAUSE SHE'S NOT A FUCKING LAWYER. Hard stop. No need to qualify it with both-sides bullshit.

Finally caught Mae Martin’s Wayward miniseries. Overall an excellent genre-busting cult story that has a phenomenal cast.

That last season of Euphoria for me basically trashed so much of what worked in the first two seasons and made me wonder if I should have even watched it in the first place.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

At the end of the day, beyond the hatefulness, he's really just a spectacularly dumb guy. Like I'm not sure he's achieved object permanence yet. He has to be reminded which hole the food goes in. His internal monologue is the sound of one hand clapping. He calls electrical sockets "finger zappers."

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

The Democrats who are responding to anti-trans Republican attacks by kowtowing are signalling that they're not ready to meet this emergency. If elected, they're showing won't have the spine needed to reverse the Trumpist tide - unless we make them more afraid of their base than the other party.

Advocating for equal human rights is not a political position. (Though there's no shortage of politicians who think advocating for UNEQUAL rights is a great platform). Cheers to those willing to put their livelihood on the line to push for what they know is right. variety.com/2026/music/n...
