Had that same feeling watching Barbie. On the plus side though, my kids got to see me openly sobbing in front of them, which I probably would have had the impulse to hold back in public.
How bout that Hamnet though? Ending made all of the stuff that came before worth it.
"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

Trump acknowledges that Democrats would be better off packing the court.
YES THEY WOULD. IF DEMS WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ME ABOIT THIS, I HAVE EXTENSIVE NOTES
That's what a primary is for. Even if she doesn't make it, the fact that she's a contender should push more moderate Democrats to the left. What's the alternative? Declare Newsome the candidate now and assume we can't do any better?
THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON
Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.
The finger-taker claimed to be a persuadable man.

A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now.

Hey everyone,
We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.
Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

Now you're singing @elienyc.bsky.social 's song. I was on the fence about expansion until after reading www.thenation.com/article/poli.... Adding 20 sounds like a good start. Make it so no faction can sway the overall decision.

Peacemaker looks at a mural embedding Hitler into American symbols
Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years
This sentence cuts through much of my political world right now: “people like Klein—liberals with a big platform who see themselves as pragmatic—have accidentally become reactive centrists because they don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history & what it is exactly that they’re doing”
Very much enjoyed this piece from @andreapitzer.bsky.social on the conversation between Ezra Klein and Ta-nehisi Coates:
Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played. degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/you-don-t-...
THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE
YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS
PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP
Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward.
Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything.

The closure of CFPB highlights the grand lie at the heart of DOGE.
CFPB is cheap to run & delivers billions to victims of corporate scams. It’s the definition of value for money.
But X & Meta hate it because it targets big tech fraud.
DOGE is not about waste. It’s about enriching the oligarchy.
I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.
"...it’s only a matter of time until DOGE’s meddling inadvertently triggers a catastrophic failure of Bureau of the Fiscal Service systems," writes @lizthegrey.com in an op-ed for @thebulletin.org.

I’m just… not going to get too worked up about racist white folks taking their masks off. It was *always* just a mask.

literally what Théoden sounded like after Wormtongue whispered in his ear
Black History teaches that you can get soul food feasts out of slavery and big band jazz out of a great depression, so you probably shouldn't spent too much time ruminating on "we're cooked" posts written by white people. They'll come up with their own resilient joy in due time. It takes practice.
The people who threw rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school are now upset their grandchildren might learn about them throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school
When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Especially if he said it while giving me a hard stare. Getting chills just imagining it.
