Mississippi finally has a close enough election for people to learn they put 100 trillion dollars into figuring out how to disenfranchise black people and about 9 dollars and a pack of Marlboro Reds into actual election administration
IT’S OFFICIAL! WE ACTUALLY DID IT! NEVER LET THEM TELL YOU YOUR VOTE DOESN’T COUNT! IF YOU’RE FROM A SOUTHERN STATE DON’T COUNT YOURSELF OUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T THINK YOU’RE IN THE MAJORITY! KEEP SHOWING UP TO VOTE! OUR VOTES AND VOICES MATTER!!
the thing about heated rivalry is it's super popular with many people who aren't in fandom spaces as well and if you talk to them you will realize that the deranged takes and constant arguments do not exist outside of fandom social media bubbles
This is very true. Singing barely hitting, no writers in the room, overly engineered beats & vocals, songs are barely 3 min long, no bridges. The art of making a good song has been stripped from the root. This is genuinely the least inspiring era of music.
ILLIT made a surprise appearance in XLOV waiting room and couldn’t hide their amazement at the group’s signature beast-claw inspired nail tips.
Meanwhile, WONHEE who is known for her love of beauty and cosmetics, was reportedly engrossed in a fun beauty talk with the members.
Now that the show is over.. it’s nice to know T’Nia Miller had 6 episode worth of development for Jocasta and she didn’t disappoint once. They utilized her perfectly.
Has anyone had the take that the No Kings protests clearly worked and got a lot of people across the country to stay politically active instead of sitting on the sidelines yet, or is that still free real estate?
OHMYGOD I DONT CARE THAT U FINALLY REALISED AFTER 60 YEARS THAT U CAN TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF A TWEET DIRECTLY FROM THE COPY LINK WHY IS MY WHOLE TL ABOUT IT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If you grew up on tumblr and ao3 and honestly just had a finger on the pulse of culture then it’s not that hard to understand why Heated Rivalry became a phenomenon. It’s literally everything the girls have ever wanted.
The trilogy of WandaVision, Agatha All Along, and VisionQuest was so well done. You really have to watch all three of them to understand the full story they told. It was all excellent and creative television, not just for Marvel standards but in general. 10/10.
Mississippi is the poorest state in the nation, and Mississippians have the lowest average credit scores in the nation.
Watson knew that using Experian to effectively disenfranchise people would impact this election. He has no place in any elected office or position of power.
These Pac tapes coming out made me go back to Angie’s memoir where she talked about that interview — how she used a razor blade to physically edit the tape strips (whoa); how the things Pac said scared her; all the folks who were in her ear.
Yeah, this is going to be something.
One telling of David Ellison’s film taste? Paramount rejected many Skydance films not tied to franchises.
After Paramount rejected “Greatest Beer Run Ever” twice, Ellison held a “come-to-Jesus” meeting where he asked if Skydance had bad taste. Paramount said “yes”.
Raskin: Well, AOC and I have a $50 gift ban bill, which has been on the back burner for years under the Republicans.
In Congress, we are all governed by a $50 gift ban. And we can’t accept anything much more than a baseball cap. And most people are scared to do that. We just don’t take gifts.
Meantime, at the Supreme Court, they’re collecting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in so-called gifts from people who have a tremendous interest in the work of the Supreme Court. They take trips around the world. They take luxury vacations. They get, in Justice Thomas’s case, a $400,000 recreational vehicle, a motor coach.
I think Justice Thomas also picked up private school tuition for a great-nephew. I mean, just outrageous things. Members of Congress would go to jail for any of those things, and they’re just doing it.
So the $50 gift ban applies to Congress. It theoretically applies also to people in the executive branch, and it must apply to people in the judiciary, in the Supreme Court
The Mississippi Secretary of State purged thousands of voters from the voter rolls using *credit card data*, and it prevented thousands of people from voting. It could’ve cost Colom the election if it were slightly closer. That office should be a top target for Dems next year.
