On Earth 2, we can't believe how good the new HBO Animorphs show looks. "They nailed the morphing," people enthuse. The nonbinary actor playing Ax's human morph is cutting it up on the Las Culturistas podcast. The actress playing Rachel has handcuffed herself to a data center

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

Hi, Ken! I've been a fan since 2005. I'm also a trans woman who is currently in the Jeopardy contestant pool. I appreciate you saying this and I believe you; still, mocking our problems with the NYT was uncool. And if I can quit Wordle—it took me way too long, but I did—anybody can.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

If you think the practice of politics does not include the deliberate shifting of public opinion, you just don't understand the game that's being played. It's like saying basketball players should stop trying to get those stupid rebounds and focus on the only important part, scoring.

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

I'm stuck on this—the WaPo editorial board uncritically repeated a lie that right-wing rage merchants manufactured by selectively editing a video then splattering it across X. It seems these guys' brains have been so cooked by Elon's algorithm that they can no longer identify MAGA-manipulated slop.
