Was rooting around in my archives when I came across this. It's an instructive artifact of just how long the Christian nationalist/evangelical campaign has been demonizing and scapegoating the LGBTQ community.

It was a mailing from Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority in 1981. 1/4

it's another lovely spring day to REMIND YOU DELINQUENTS TO STOP 'RESCUING' BABY ANIMALS. THEIR MOMS ARE MOST LIKELY NEARBY - SO MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

Just finished the new Taylor Swift album, and wow. She's just her own thing now. And she's REALLY good at it.

I feel like I just finished a John Irving novel, not an album.

7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime.

A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.”

What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear

I grew up in California.

Breakfast at a restaurant would typically come with two pieces of bacon.

I moved to Oregon.

Breakfast at a restaurant typically comes with four pieces of bacon.

Just curious what the typical bacon count is in other places. Anyone?

Bridge design for vessel collision. A🧵

The main span of the Francois Scott Key Bridge is 1300 ft. It also has 185 ft of clearance, making this a massive bridge.

This type of bridge is considered complex.

Baltimore is in for a long haul before replacement. Here is why.

Excellent opinion piece that does what is seemingly increasingly impossible: Refocusing the debate about women's sports back on women and girls in sports, what's holding them back, and what it would take to get women's sports on equal ground with men's.

I’m a Dutch science journalist, and I watched @climatethemovie.

It’s full of crap. 😂

This is the kinda kid I would hope to raise, cause why did he eat them UP like this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

1. One of the most stunning portions of the misleading and error-ridden 'WPATH Files' is a section where the authors appear upset over how 'suspiciously' happy trans people are.

I had an uncle who passed recently, and he owned one of the largest Star Trek collections in the country (USA). This is 4 of over 90 pictures required to document 3+ entire rooms stacked with nothing but #startrek pls share it around, I want to give it a good home.

Today I begin my yearlong commitment to watch all 93 Castle Rock Entertainment film releases (1989-2023) in 2024. Over the course of the year I will be watching the whole filmography & noting my thoughts on each movie here. Join me on this nostalgic journey around the lighthouse.

In a remarkable directorial debut Frank Darabont gives us one of the great Stephen King adaptations of the last 40 years. Its hard to find new ways to praise this masterpiece but I will say this rewatch made me appreciate the patience & steadiness with which this film unfolds.
