Tolkien thought the elves needed to check their privilege and I am absolutely gonna hang onto this for…occasions

i love when people say, "why isn't anyone talking about X?!" and i go to my timeline and everyone is talking about X. seems like a u problem

I’ve seen many people of various political persuasions say that they’ve seen very little or no coverage of the devastation in Asheville. That may be so, but it’s not really an indictment of the media as much as it’s an indication that your media diet in particular is fucked.

During the final demonstration during Tabletop Workers United's month of action, Brooklyn Strategist owner Jon Freeman called the NYPD on his employees.

Preparing for a strike vote, Tabletop Workers United’s third and final walkout brings elected officials and the NYPD to the cafe’s doorstep

Dearest @nytimes.com puzzle setters: Just because something is a homophone for something in your specific accent doesn't mean it is to every English speaker. FFS you're in Noo Yawk, how many different accents are there just in that one city??

the only things that actually do turn young people conservative: • telling them it was ok to use that racial slur, despite what the woke left are saying • agreeing that the reason they can’t get laid is because women are all whores who can’t spot good men • $400,000 to host a right wing podcast

Sure, Danny Kruger. Yell at the kids loudly enough and they’ll all turn into obedient little imaginary Victorians. I really do want to see you try

Very disappointed in the story by @jesus-jimz.bsky.social@nytimes.com about the Neil Gaiman allegations. It's presented as just another story about productions being shut down and it states that K and Scarlett were not available for comment when I know for a fact that K reached out to him.

"Faith is one avenue that has been known for thousands of years to deepen the self past where we might expect it to go." Again, this is very much a culture wars, Western Canon-defending reference to things that are central to CT readers' worldviews which "have been known" for "thousands of years".

that republicans keep running openly transphobic campaigns proves a few things: • many people will overlook it; they’ll say “that’s gross” & vote for tax cuts • it doesn’t stop legislation passing in captured areas—i can’t go to FL now. if i pee in an empty women’s room in UT, i’m a sex criminal.🧵
