We live in this vital, and narrowing, window of time where (a) we clearly understand the full scope of what we are doing to the planet and see what its consequences will be, and (b) there is still time to do something about it. Get to work. #ExtinctionRebellion

I can’t imagine why newly installed CBS boss Bari Weiss - a pro-Trump media stooge - would fail to air an analysis of the Minnesota shooting that undermines his regime’s version of events on primetime TV 🤔
A former 25 year career federal agent whose entire job was dealing with gun incidents involving federal agents details all the ways Ross messed up on CBS. It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already

I cannot express how deeply disturbing it is to me that Molly is correct here. Like, I absolutely know this shit inside out. I warn about it all the time — and it’s still so utterly barbaric that my mind just knee-jerk wants to deny it.

This you?
Agree or disagree with the merits of the operation, you can't help but be in awe of the US military might described by Gen Caine. Pres Trump threatened Maduro for months -- loudly and publicly. And yet US forces caught him and his cronies entirely OFF GUARD and took a sovereign leader from his own country. Damn.

Notice how the tweet says English *as a first language* as opposed to not speaking English at all? All this tweet is really saying is 33% of the school children in Glasgow are bilingual. Which is cool, actually
Nearly 1 in 3 schoolchildren in Glasgow do not speak English as their first language. This is not diversity. This is culture smashing. Reform UK will make this a big issue in our campaign. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

however bad you’re imagining this essay to be, it’s sooo much worse. cannot believe a college student wrong this. 0/25 seems somehow generous lmao
For a psychology course at the University Oklahoma, Samantha Fulnecky was asked to write a 650-word essay reacting to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender. In her essay, Fulnecky argued that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be "detrimental" because that would put people "farther from God's original plan for humans." She received zero points out of 25 on the essay. Transgender professor, Mel Curtis, said Ms. Fulnecky, failed to use empirical evidence/and called parts of her essay offensive. "To call an entire group of people 'demonic' is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population," the instructor wrote in the online grading platform. Fulnecky says she followed the assignment guidelines and should not be penalized for her religious viewpoints. OU officials point to the formal grade-appeal process as the student awaits a decision. We at Turning Point OU stand with Samantha. We should not be letting mentally ill professors around students. Clearly this professor lacks the intellectual maturity to set her own bias aside and take grading seriously. Professors like this are the very reason conservatives can't voice their beliefs in the classroom. Kuddos to Samantha for leading by example and standing up for what she believes in. @UofOklahoma , do better! #universityofoklahoma #trans #woke @ou_president @uofoklahoma @TPUSA @GovStitt @theoudaily @ounightly @SenadorJett @senmullin

I want him dragged screaming out of that Oval Office like William H. Macy out of the motel room at the end of Fargo.

Canada is ranked 5th in the World for quality of life. The USA is 22nd
Replying to @JDVance
And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame. The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

This is humiliating
Elon has programmed grok to say he's lean and muscular with extensive martial arts training and that he used to do no-rules street fights

This was an issue I had with the otherwise excellent Ballad of Wallis Island.
Does nothing to shoehorn Black actors into films by your white faves for diversity points when the Black characters are still treated like an afterthought.

Hahaha, this sweaty little quisling. Imagine thinking Dem voters in NYC would be swayed by cowardly, weaksauce “B-b-better give the boss what he wants or we’re ALL in trouble” arguments.
If you want President Trump to try to take over the city - national guard on streets, choking federal funding - vote for @ZohranKMamdani because Trump just said he will be coming and this poser @ZohranKMamdani won’t be able to stop him. That is a fact. The next Mayor has to be able to get us more, not ensure our demise. I am the only person in this race who can do that.

TFW you’re definitely not in a cult.
We can finally say “Merry Christmas” again. Thank you, President Trump!

Not one but two jaw-droppingly horrendous trailers last night at my local @AMCTheatres — both King Ivory & Muzzle: City of Wolves appear to be vicious, empty, incoherent white male fascist power fantasies that left me wondering if I genuinely hated movies youtube.com/watch?v=z8bMFa-H…

First that, and then this immediately afterwards. While it is possible to make a good trailer for a bad movie, I was gobsmacked by the utter lack of artistry even in the trailer for this thing. It just felt hateful — to people, to cinema, to art. youtube.com/watch?v=byxLYzDR…

Honestly, the most pathetic moment of JD Vance’s entire life to publicly throw your wife under the bus to appease some fringe losers. During the last election cycle she was a good Hindu woman who actually convinced JD to be more Christian, now she is a directionless Heaton.
Vance: Do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved in by church. Yeah, I honestly, I do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel. And I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way. If she does not, then god says everybody has free will and so that does not cause a problem for me
