i think the little women (2019) trailer is a masterpiece for many reasons but maybe most of all for how it included this line but purposely left out “but i’m so lonely” so when you got to this scene while actually watching the movie it blindsided you like a fucking freight train
Wiscon-WIN!!🧀🇺🇲 Congrats to @crawfordforWI and to all the volunteers who worked their butts off to overcome Elon's $20+M effort to try to buy this election.
Delayed but not denied.
For years, Beyonce has set the standard, shaped the culture, and redefined the art—now, the recognition has finally caught up.
This award is more than a trophy. It’s about reclaiming what’s been taken, whitewashed, and shut us out for far too long.
So tonight, we don’t just celebrate Bey—we celebrate every Black artist who should have heard “And the winner is…” long before now.
So, we celebrate, we uplift, and we say—about damn time!
Congratulations, Beyonce Album of the Year winner!
CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) -- which, since 1990, has tracked high school students' behaviors that can influence health and social outcomes (like smoking, drug use, and dietary habits) -- is now offline
Profoundly true take from CNN aviation correspondent @PeteMunteen at 1002pm Eastern: "This clearly, Abby, will be a tragedy that will change aviation. Mark my words now. You are looking now at the incredible response there on the shores of the Potomac River...This is really staggering that this has happened and there have been close call after close call involving commercial flights on the runways of commercial airports, major airports in the U.S., an incident, a spate of incidents that really took off in 2023. None of them ended up ending up occurring with a mid-air collision like we have seen here. The fact that this involved not only a commercial flight, which is equipped from top to bottom with anti-collision technology, something called TCAS -- Traffic Collision Avoidance System, mandated by the FAA in most commercial airliners since the early 90s, but also the pilots are well trained. The aviation system -- commercial aviation in the U.S. is the gold standard for safety. We are the example for every other country. There is not been a significant crash with fatalities, and we do not know if there are fatalities here in the U.S. involving a commercial flight since the Colgan air crash of 2009 led to sweeping changes in regulation and pilot experience requirements. The fact that this happened in D.C. over near Reagan National Airport, some of the busiest airspace in the country and one of the single busiest runways in the national airspace system, is really pretty incredible."
Democrats performed better in Wisconsin than in any other battleground state - even though it was closer than MI and PA in 2020 and has less favorable demographics for Dems (more rural, more non-college)
Turnout rose 1.3% - highest in the nation
Harris won 30,000 more votes than Biden & more votes than Obama in '12. The extra votes came from 46 of the 72 counties - rural, suburban, urban
Why?
Organizing works. Campaigning works. Building relationships with voters all year round works.
@benwikler and his team are national treasures and we should all learn from them going forward
“Thank you so much for loving me and letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all that. It’s probably not, like, a dream to immigrate to this country and have your child be like ‘I want to do improv!,’ but you’re real ones”

Brian Cox reads If I Must Die, by beloved Palestinian poet, teacher and martyr Refaat Alareer.
Refaat was killed on December 7th by an Israeli airstrike.
This was the last poem he published.
i have had many people ask me who he was today while i was openly celebrating his demise. to have this level of unawareness is to be privileged, at the very least
a MUST read for anyone, especially those who are lucky enough to never personally know the degree of war crimes perpetrated by a man who largely flew under the radar in american politics
