@focusfronting I’m so sorry but you knew someone would say this

[jannat m. @jannatesq]

@focusfronting That’s his swimsuit

@Fishpot22 @TheCinesthetic Conan’s parents both died of health related causes. Also if this is how he grieves, we should respect that. He’s obviously way closer to this situation than you so if he’s not offended, I don’t see how anyone else can be offended

We can see Ted’s anxiety symptoms from the beginning. In episode 1, during his first press conference, we hear the ringing noise. In episode 2, his hands are tingling and he has to put them in his pockets.

I’m rewatching Ted Lasso before season 4 premieres, and already I’ve noticed a couple of things I didn’t pick up on before:

They also both care about wanting Jamie to be better and put more effort into making that happen than anyone else

@LauraRbnsn I was waiting for a cosmic brownies recommendation too!

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

I normally refuse to engage with Noah Wyle hate accounts, but I need to say that he’s been advocating for healthcare workers longer than this person has been alive

[tara dr dimples & dr eyebrows 🫦🫦 @ellistron3000]

guys im so embarrassed genuinely who tf is this guy to speak for healthcare workers #PERFORMATIVE

@PostOpinions @DominicJPino “The government is not a jobs program” is not the right response to a very valid concern about job losses in DC. Also, it doesn’t make sense to look at transit v. driving data in the country when you’re talking about one city. Much of the country is only car-accessible, unlike DC

@Nicole66640666 @shujaxhaider It’s a real problem in the industry that also doesn’t get neatly resolved by the end of a single shift. In that sense, the way the show portrays it is very realistic, which is what the show is trying to be

[jannat m. @jannatesq]

@Nicole66640666 @shujaxhaider The show acknowledges it by showing it and assuming the viewers will understand that the show does not promote everything Robby does. No one needs to look in the camera and say “by the way, this is wrong and not okay”

[jannat m. @jannatesq]

@facetedcarapace @theashleyray And also, the show is about representing the experience of healthcare workers, which of course includes burnout, trauma, and depression. I don’t even understand how people don’t get that

@elle_bjay @djoyousone @annikaClarke7 @thatcutepothead The main rule is being separated and living apart for a year in order to get a divorce. The exception is if you don’t have minor children, you can get divorced after 6 months of no cohabitation and separation. If you have minor children, the main rule would apply

People think halo automatically means angel which automatically means he is being portrayed as a perfect being who can do no wrong. Please learn things

[cat ✨ @catalystcomett]

moot pointed out that the sun is framed to make a halo around robby’s head and i’m honestly a little gagged by the arrogance of it

[jannat m. @jannatesq]

No one is entitled to a political career, and accusations of violent crimes should absolutely make people question whether someone should be in public office. And if someone is about to get a prestigious position, then that’s a totally logical time to bring up those accusations

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

I knew Justin Fairfax. Our paths crossed during my first run for the General Assembly. Every interaction I had with him was professional, respectful, and measured.

What happened to him politically should make everyone uncomfortable—regardless of party.

At the exact moment Ralph Northam was facing collapse over the blackface scandal, allegations surfaced against Fairfax that effectively ended his political future overnight. He was never charged. He was never prosecuted. And once his career was over, the allegations faded from public view just as quickly as they appeared.

That pattern—unproven allegations surfacing at the precise moment someone is about to rise politically—is not new. We’ve seen it play out nationally with figures like Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas. Whether you believe those claims or not, the timing is always the same—and the damage is always permanent.

Now we’re watching the aftermath of a life that, by any objective measure, was derailed in a matter of weeks.

And the same political class that stood by—or benefited—at the time is now offering thoughts and prayers.

That’s the part that ought to turn your stomach.

If we’re going to be honest about accountability in this country, it has to cut both ways. Destroying someone publicly without due process, without proof, and without consequence is not justice. It’s politics at its worst.

And it keeps happening because it works.

@FatherChrisVor1 Thank you, Father. Muslims do not need to pray out loud, but I appreciate your explanation and the space the Vatican allows for Islamic scholars.

@offbeatorbit Marty is definitely a hostage
