Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

Donald Trump has won the 2024 election. Four years after launching an unprecedented attack on democracy and leaving the White House in disgrace, the convicted felon will return to Washington, DC, as the 47th president of the United States. 🔗: vanityfair.visitlink.me/xOOx…

No joke, one of the greatest love stories and romance films of all-time (and it's a body swap romantic comedy between two highschoolers that turns into a story that transcends time and space). No one has done romance quite like this in the 21st century

The treatment of male Last Dinner Party gig-goers mirrors the experiences of minority fans | Laura Snapes theguardian.com/music/2024/s…

Some men got made to feel unwelcome at a Last Dinner Party gig? Now you know how the rest of us feel

The discrimination some solo male gig-goers experienced this weekend was undeserved. But these encounters remain dismally normal for women and minorities
