#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

I made this comic in 2010!! This comic is almost old enough to vote
A comic by the artist about their cat, in a pencil sketch style. The first panel has a headline that says "wouldn't it suck if...my cat Bear" and shows a large black cat sitting with his little feet sticking up and out and tape stuck to his face saying "blawn aawn?". 2nd panel: the narration continues "had five foot arms" the panel shows Bear on the floor of an apartment with 5 foot arms reaching up to the shelf above the fireplace to absolutely wreck every trinket there. The sound fx say SMASH SMASH BANG BANG TRASH TRASH. 3rd panel: Bear is reaching up with his 5 foot arms to open a box of cat food or cereal on top of the fridge. The food is pouring down into his open mouth. The sound fx say rustle rustle and GLOM GLOM. 4th panel: Bear is using his 5 foot arms to steal a sandwich off of the plate of the artist, the sound fx say TAKE. The final panel shows Jess and Eric sitting on the floor in front of the couch, looking over their shoulders with anxiety at Bear who is sitting in the center with his five foot arms spread out the full length of the couch. Juju ( a little white cat ) is peeking out from around the back of the couch.

I got to ask some repro health and law experts to help make sense of what's going on with legal challenges to mifepristone—and what's next (non-spoiler: more attempts to expand abortions bans across the country)

In a legal challenge to abortion access at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Department of Justice and Louisiana are on opposite sides. But they want the same thing.

I wrote about the garbage “study” HHS just released, attempting to link support for trans people and left-wing political violence, a kind of remixed Stephen Miller screed with some additional citations:

Trump’s Vile Campaign to Link Trans People and Political Violence
A bogus new HHS report argues that support for transgender rights pushes people toward political violence. It’s just the latest chilling installment in a larger project of bigoted propaganda.

When the Singing Stone was first displayed at the Museum, the massive block of vibrant blue azurite and green malachite made high-pitched sounds when the humidity changed with the weather and seasons. These noises were produced as the porous stone absorbed and released moisture from the air.

Aug 10th 1988 - Zero Cool was in the New York Times for crashing 1,507 computer systems. 📽️📅 Hackers (1995)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a young man in a sleeveless shirt sits in a cluttered room, saying "I've got a record. I was Zero Cool." Second, a group of friends gather around a table, one explaining "Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day. Biggest crash in history." Third, the same group listens as another person adds, "Front page New York Times, August 10, 1988."

I’ve been doing some in-depth reporting on the Prairieland cases, and had to get this out first as I continue to dig: I spoke with Ana Bell, sister of Des, who it turns out co-owns and runs an indie bookstore. We talked about the case, the judge, book banning, ICE killings, and living through this:

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.
