If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

The James Talarico campaign has asked a court to unseal transcripts of a pair of years-old depositions given by Ken Paxton as part of a messy securities fraud dispute.
"The right of Texans to see these depositions matters more than ever."

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
![CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)
Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.
Kane: Absolutely not.
For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.
When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)

I’m old enough to remember when Trump said Obama would start a war with Iran because he’s “weak and he’s ineffective,” and has “absolutely no ability to negotiate.”
It’s always projection with Donald.

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

People who expect you to show up for them, but never do so for others aren’t friends. Those are opportunists. People pleasing doesn’t serve you positively in those circumstances, so I’m giving your silly, anxious, rejection-sensitive ass the permission to stop catering to them. Protect your peace ✌️

What if magic was not meant for humans to use. But through hubris they did anyway, modifying themselves to do so. Slowly twisting their bodies and losing their humanity in the process all in the pursuit of power, to win a war once fought by man now fought by wicked beasts and living war machines.
