there’s this guy on twitter who floods the timelines of women who are getting rape threats from the alt-right with pictures of his very cute dog tucker

he calls it the ‘daily tucker service’ & ppl who are looking to drown out hate in their timelines can subscribe to it.

I just thought that you should know, in case you were losing faith in humanity.

trump has just fired jeff sessions and rod rosenstein has been pulled off the mueller probe. this probably means mueller himself (for those who don’t know, he’s the guy who has been investigating trump’s russia connections and tax returns) is going to be fired soon (the dems can reopen the investigation now they have the house, but that won’t happen till january)

here is a website talking about emergency ‘nobody is above the law’ rallies that will be held if mueller is fired. this is a really big deal, so please share and be ready if it does happen.

Some additional info on this:

Since Sessions was forced to resign (he made that clear in his resignation) the appointment of Whitaker as acting AG is illegal.  You can only become acting AG if you were Deputy AG (he wasn’t), appointed to another position by the Senate (he wasn’t), or congress is in recess (it isn’t). 

Mueller has legal cover to continue the investigation if he is ordered off of it.  Further, this all goes toward building a criminal case for obstruction of justice against Trump and company. 

These are Nixonian level crimes. The house has subpoena power and can and will investigate.

This is why your vote mattered.

I’ve gotten much better about pop culture since I was a teenager, but I still have trouble remembering that Adam Levine and Adam Lambert aren’t the same person

U know what’s also good. That whole ‘sunshine character steals the heart of raincloud’ but instead, raincloud is the one who pursues sunshine character like

Sunshine character: *exists*

Raincloud: I want this one and no one else.

I took off my cat’s collar tonight, and she immediately stole it out of my hands and ran over and buried it in her litterbox, so uh. I guess we’re done with that collar now.

Honestly, a lot of my favourite elements of popular media have come about directly from writers being passive-aggressive.

Let me give you a classic example: Happy Days. For a lot of folks reading this post, it’s probably before your time, but you’re likely to at least be familiar with Fonzie, a supporting character played by Henry Winkler who ended up being so popular that he’s literally the only thing anybody remembers about the show.

Now, if you recognize the name, you might also know that one of Fonzie’s more notable quirks is that he tends to take his motorcycle with him everywhere – even indoors, including many places where there’s no obvious way for him to have gotten it there. What you might not know, however, is why the writers came up with this running gag in the first place.

Y’see, Fonzie was originally conceived as the “bad influence” character – the cool, dangerous bad boy. As part of that characterisation, the writers wanted to have him wear a leather jacket. (Because it was the 1970s, and that counted as edgy back then.) The network censors, however, objected, claiming that allowing him to wear the jacket would encourage juvenile delinquency and gang violence. (Again, it was the 70s.)

Eventually, the writers worked out a deal whereby they’d be allowed to have Fonzie wear the jacket – but only if he was riding or otherwise physically near his motorcycle, since a leather jacket is a common article of safety equipment when operating a non-enclosed vehicle, and we can’t let impressionable kids see somebody riding a motorcycle without proper safety equipment, can we?

Then they just wrote the motorcycle into every scene, regardless of whether it made sense or not, thereby allowing Fonzie to wear the jacket all the time.

What. The. Fuck.

That is utterly brilliant.
