I was just reading up on this whole Andrea Riseborough Oscar nomination story and holy crap! Mary McCormack really threw two Black actresses under the bus to get the actress in her husband’s film an Oscar nom. 😬

Pedophiles have some of the highest recidivism rates - WHY would you give one a suspended sentence?!?!

I wrote about the unhinged therapists making videos about their clients on TikTok, and how social media has smoothed over the ethical issues of certain professions turning their jobs into content

Remember: Qualified Immunity is not in US Constitution, not in any State Constitutions, did not exist until 1871, was not a recognized defense until 1967, its current version born only in 1982, & that via SCOTUS activism—not Congressional legislation.
Repeal Qualified Immunity.

American Dirt has sold until now 650,000 copies in hardcover according to Bookscan (the trade tool for book sales counts). It's a massive hit. For comparison, my novel, Mexican Gothic, which ended up 12 weeks on the NYTs best seller list, sold 166,000 hardcovers

nytimes.com/2023/01/25/opi …Harry wants to make a crusade of applying sunlight to corrupt media practices and his family’s participation in them. If he succeeds…he might bring a greater sense of decency in Britain, and maybe even curtail the power of the worst practices in media.

Diet Cherry Coca-Cola and Zero Sugar Dr Pepper & Cream Soda are the only two diet/zero sugar sodas I have had that taste ‘normal.’
I don’t think this is how you’re supposed to sound when you’re breathing and just sitting down 😬. Teaching kindergarten is so fun. 🙈
I’m rewatching The Closer and was going to continue on to Major Crimes - until I was reminded that Sharon dies at the end of that show.
Wtf Trudeau.

Let's be clear, with private health care.
You will get a bill.
You will wait longer.
And the staffing crisis will get worse.
A private system is not innovation like Justin Trudeau claims — it will make things worse.

I’m trying to get through this day with humor and sometimes (misdirected) rage. I’m really good at deflecting. 365 days ago our youngest threw himself in front of a train at 6:37 am because he was gay and couldn’t take the bullying anymore. He was loved at home. We didn’t know 🌈

Egg prices are up 60%. That’s absurd. People are paying up upwards of $6 and $7 for a dozen eggs.
Why? Corporate greed.
Cal-Maine, the largest egg producer in the US, is raking record profits — $198 million in its latest quarter.
That’s a 65% increase from a year ago.

There has been a massive landfill fire in central Alabama burning for months that's giving people headaches, nosebleeds, and respiratory problems from breathing in the pollution. The EPA is only now getting involved. Mainstream media should be sending reporters to look into this.

These posts from FLORIDA teachers having to remove every book from their classrooms because of Republican bannings are heartbreaking. Some schools are banning kids from bringing in any books because they're afraid teachers might go to jail.
This is modern day America.

Okay, is there like a template of episodes all cop dramas follow? You have to have a Halloween ep, a Christmas ep, don’t forget the fake documentary ep…so many fake documentaries and they’re BORING!
SCOTUS conducted a leak investigation without even attempting to interview the likeliest suspects, the Republican justices who wanted to overturn Roe for decades.

OK, so, I just finished the Marshal's report. It's wild. But, at the end of the day, this is really all that matters: The justices themselves were not asked questions or investigated, per what I gather from the Marshal's report.

Tuesday afternoon we had a kindy teacher leave early because she was unwell, she’s out the rest of the week. So, I’ve been covering her class. Please send alcohol. Kindergarten teachers are special people.

I am leaving because with such a privilege comes responsibility -- the responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead, and also, when you are not." us.yahoo.com/gma/zealand-pr Honestly, so refreshing to have a politician not try to grasp power for as long as possible!

It was so good. And having never played the game, they really did a good job of drawing me in!

I am so excited for the Last of Us. I am not a gamer, so I am not coming to the series as a fan. But after watching the trailer, it just looks like a really well-made, well casted show.

Despite widespread pushback, Missouri Republicans just passed a new rule banning women lawmakers from wearing attire that exposes their arms.
This after they already passed a rule requiring women to cover their dress with a “second layer.”

Yikes, times sure were different. Barbara Mandrell met her future husband when she was 14 and he was 21. He was engaged to someone else and broke it off when he developed feelings for Barbara…👀

America’s slave patrols were modeled after King Charles’ “Casual Killing Act of 1669,” where an enslaver would not be liable for killing a disobedient enslaved person who resisted the enslaver’s demands.
Think about that next time you hear “They only killed him b/c he resisted.”

Really enjoyed reading Harry’s story in his own words. It made me very emotional at times! I’m so glad he survived and is now thriving and happy with a beautiful family of his own!
I went Wegman’s for the first time today, just to get the Greek yoghurt tweeted about one time. I kinda of went crazy in their bakery…

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.
Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.
His crime—asking police for help.
