if you're not watching the olympic opening ceremony the main torchbearer is a masked vigilante wearing keens and les miserables-style revolutionary rags who entered on a boat to the phantom of the opera theme and is now doing parkour around paris to techno. extremely french

what's crazy about the jk rowling tweets especially is that she didn't just misgender khelif, she claimed that khelif was purposefully abusing women based on a photo of...an olympic boxing match. a supremely idiotic way to commit libel

this is actually the attitude that has lost democrats any semblance of control in local politics in states around the country and has enabled the gop to become such a powerhouse at the national level. if you care only about the white house every 4 years youโ€™re missing the point

one thing about her that might be clearer to those of us who lived through early Gaga is that the character chappell roan is very obviously an onstage persona, and she got famous so quickly that that nuance maybe hasnโ€™t gotten through to a lot of younger fans
