Idea: 2-hour special of @nbcsvu where we revisit all the scenes in which #OliviaBenson said, "Let 'em go, Fin," and he does NOT, in fact, let them go. #svu

The new Jurassic World movie looks FANTASTIC. 😂 https://t.co/5XGzkAl6li

I get so irritated when I see mothers of young children on Facebook who support the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the border. What are you saying, exactly? It's not happening to you, so it's okay?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The issue is not whether the child's nappy is being changed or whether it is being fed. The trauma occurs when the child is separated from its primary caregiver. There is a wealth of evidence to show what that trauma does to children. https://t.co/P9M9a72eDJ

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

That... is a terrifying thought, but the question is relevant. https://t.co/VljdGwKO5s

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

The detention of children at the border, and the consequent separation of them from their parents, is cruel beyond belief. Is this still America, or the months before Gilead in THE HANDMAID’S TALE?

@timberbaronness Was it good?? I want to go so bad!

[Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff]

I’m a part of the first group of journalists to go into the shelter for detained child migrants in Brownsville Texas since the zero tolerance separation policy was announced. 1000+ boys here.

Going in right now.

More tonight w @chrislhayes on @allinwithchris @MSNBC. #inners

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercials and then asked it to write an Olive Garden commercial of its own. Here is the first page.

@netflix Thank you, Netflix!

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Gmorning.
I don’t know how to tell you this,
but
you’re not perfect.
You never will be.
You keep growing and messing up and learning
And your quirks become strengths
You are SO much better than perfect, love

@camgreen15 @timberbaronness The GRE is literally designed to upset the test-takers. 😖 I'm so sorry y'all have to go through that again.

[Bethesda Game Studios @BethesdaStudios]

We're excited to announce our next chapter, The Elder Scrolls VI.

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

@hawkwardzombie I want to see it!

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

@timberbaronness Girl, don't stress that hard. You're smart. I'd recommend a GRE prep book from Amazon, mine was like $15. Spend 15 mins a day with it until your test date, and I'm sure you'll kill it. <3

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

John says that's not how this works, but I disagree. 😜

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

I've had so much anxiety in the past three weeks that I hit a point yesterday where I stopped feeling anything at all. Just like, weirdly calm. I described it to John as having reached my anxiety deductible for the year. Now I can live anxiety-free! Rest of the year is covered.

I don’t want to live in a country where coexistence depends on everyone constantly being equipped to violently end each other with a finger twitch but graciously choosing not to

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

Yikes. 😬 This guy is... terrifying. Telling these angry, violent young men that their sense of entitlement to women's bodies is justified is just fucking dangerous. https://t.co/Mh79RZrbK3

[Laura C. @helpsendcoffee]

@StephenKing I can hear both at the same time. This is weird shit.
