In a stunning announcement from the Oval Office, President Trump reveals that he is dead, that we’re all dead. God has abandoned us and the place we thought was the world is actually hell. We go live now to Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room,

As everyone waits with bated breath for some announcement from the White House that may or may not be very significant, I am reminded of something @sarahkendzior.bsky.social wrote in a post a few days ago: "Do not let Donald Trump be the most important person in your life."

One of the many ways in which Graham Greene stood out was through his endless adaptability—he could easily transition from serious moments to lighter comic tones, not just within 1 film or a show, but within one *scene*. He made it look incredibly easy. He dependably made everything he was in better
Mo Ryan (@moryan.bsky.social) reposted
Graham Greene, it’s hard to believe he’s passed on. On TV, a phenomenally talented presence in everything from Reservation Dog to Northern Exposure & a million other TV & film projects. Just watched 4 hr version of Dances with Wolves & Kicking Bird is an all-time great cinema performance, period. 💚

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

I realise that to cis people, when trans people lose access to gender-affirming care, it seems like we're bitching about not getting our little treats. I have more than one friend whose body is currently falling apart because it no longer makes its own hormones and the government banned their HRT.
