Lair of the White Worm is almost in its own category, because its look *is* genuinely captivating. But YES to Octopusssy for this sequence alone

One day, I'll try to write up a list of my top ten movies that do this for me -- movies that leave me "unreasonably pleased" in ways that I can fully articulate, but couldn't possibly defend

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

Poorly drawn sketch of a large computing machine connected to electrical wires and three stick figures kneeling in front of it. Text above the stick figures says: "O Deep Thought what is the ultimate answer to the problem of the climate crisis?"

Chief Justice Roberts’s Vendetta Against the Voting Rights Act He’s been railing against it since the early 1980s.

John Roberts attacked the Voting Rights Act when he was a lawyer in the Reagan administration. On the Supreme Court, he's been working to make his wish to destroy the law a reality. bit.ly/4uduYXR

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

The lines that are being drawn here are around a binary in which the future of education is either:

a.) Christian nationalist indoctrination with books

or

b.) Christian nationalist indoctrination with chatbots

There is no third way coming from the conservatives or establishment liberals.

They'll just get them online, their parents medicine cabinet, or friends. They aren't going to stop access, only safe access to hormones. Trans people have been getting access to hormones via nonmedical pathways for over half a century.

β€œIt’s obvious Germany is the chaotic ur-mother, a chthonic force that confounds all meaning and won’t call me back after a second date. And Prussia… [cries briefly] Prussia is the ordering principle, the egoic sovereign, that cleans up its room and gets the German people pregnant.”

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
