The Venn diagram of "left-ish men who enthusiastically support Platner as a bulwark against a feminine Democratic politics," "left-ish men who stayed on Twitter," and "left-ish men I bailed on a long time ago when they pinged my transphobia radar" is a circle.

Tapping the sign so hard my finger bleeds

Artist! Quote with your fanart!

sorry hang on you're saying what exactly? from where I'm sitting it looks like you're saying that a guy with a nazi tattoo used to date a deeply racist person, and somehow that's people falling for something?

it is genuinely insane that a couple weeks ago in his trans piece toby wrote "they may come for the sikhs next," people told him he was being hysterial, and then immediately after they started coming for the sikhs

What are we doing here, people?

Either Bluesky is borked or the mods are really big fans of Chip Zdarsky...

An AVENGERS lineup with 1.5 Avengers? Hardest of hard passes.

This will all somehow be the fault of leftists.

The way I knew she was a Democrat after I read the headline...

Gonna expand on this slightly: I ****HATE*** the Suicide Squad as a concept. It breaks immersion for me. The moment any member of a group with the word "justice" in it's name hears about the existence of the Suicide Squad and doesn't shut. it. down. they surrender any claims to be good guys.

In 5-10 years, I want the oral history of how this Graymalkin Prison stuff happened because it was such a MONUMENTALLY ill-conceived idea, lasted far too long, made the heroes look like idiots, and accomplished absolutely nothing except annoying readers.

What are we doing here, people?

They had an elaborate promo for this at MONSTERPALOOZA and the way nobody there cared...

they'll call you a crazy reactionary alarmist right up until the day when they demand to know why you never said anything

They're homeless, Jan.

AID REQUEST: If anyone is able to help me refill my meds and turn my phone back on, it would be greatly appreciated. (Also trying to work out how to move to a state that isn't actively trying to kill disabled queers by fall.) 🙏🏳️‍🌈 vmo: @maydaytrippe cash: $maydaytrippe ppal: [email protected]

I can foresee absolutely no problems by letting supplement peddlers dictate safe food guidelines...

Of course the gayest art in MTG history is by @davidtalaski.bsky.social 😍

I finally gave up on a podcast that I've listened to for years because the inescapable conclusion that the majority of their guests only have taste in their mouth couldn't be avoided.

Two thoughts: A) oh, MANDOLORIAN was a B*O*M*B bomb, huh? B) Sure, Jan...

TFW you read the synopsis of an upcoming book that sounds interesting so you go to a website to order it and discover that it's a BAEN book with a T&A cover so nah.

Okay, so ONSLAUGHT doesn't look like that combined sequel to YOU'RE NEXT/ THE GUEST we all wanted, but it does look like it thematically fits in, so hell yeah.

I need help reacting to something...

Saw some one defending that asinine Ken K piece by saying "electing Platner is neccessary to save American democracy" and every time I see some version of that argument...

When you want to make up a new homophobic slur but are too chickenshit to really go for it...

I almost forgot the definitive one: homophobia! Yes indeed, while some guys in the closet put up a homophobic exterior, the idea that this is an internal community matter and no true straight person could ever be homophobic is exonerative and unhelpful 🤷🏻

People still defend this paper and those who work there

I'm not super into the Four Horsemen skeleton figures, but I had to get this guy because he oozes personality

Hey everyone, if you haven’t voted yet, please go vote! Also, if you’re in CA and want to be strategic, a vote for Steyer could give us two Dems in the general election for governor, which would be a HUGE deal for down ballot races like mine. (If you want to vote your conscience, do that too!)

Lesson Hollywood should learn: Greenlight small-budget genre films with fresh talent, creative freedom and enough marketing to reach an audience. Lesson Hollywood will actually learn: Jeff the Killer movie

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Monsterpalooza Haul

They want to produce is another Birth of a Nation, movies like End of Watch, Gran Torino, and Sicario aren’t explicit enough for them.

We’re having a whole exegesis around conservative art when what they’re calling for is white supremacist agitprop.

CISHET PEOPLE, DO NOT READ THE NEXT POST, I MEAN IT, IT IS FOR MLM FOLKS ONLY

At MONSTERPALOOZA and "scary clown" is the Deadpool of horror conventions apparently.

*fists pounding on table* Rat Men. Rat. Men. RAT. MEN.

Ordered a couple books from Barnes and Noble. Got not only the wrong books, like, entirely...but the books I got are "anime inspired" fantasy novels with sprayed edges and booktok aesthetics. So literally insult upon injury.

"Hey, Dorian, did you see that Severin is releasing a gender-swapped version of TURN OF THE SCREW by Eloy de la Iglesia?" *sigh* Here's the CC info...

Thanks, RTD, I guess, for warning us in advance we shouldn't watch Tip Toe if we don't want to see a gender critical character and a trans character team up to save the day I was really looking forward to it as well www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Oh. RTD hasn't just lost the plot, he's burned the map and is angrily tearing up signposts.

If work wanted good results on the employee survey they probably shouldn't have put it out at the same time they sprung a massively more expensive health care plan on us...

LMAO! Oh, that pendulum is about to swing back like a wrecking ball. www.ktalnews.com/entertainmen...

It was my understanding that YA novels frequently underwent modernization. Some series were notorious for having different versions based on publication year. Why is it an issue now for adults who frankly probably shouldn't be reading YA anyway.

I saw a video of the guy who writes that Dungeon Crawler Carl stuff and it was the least surprising face reveal ever.

Is it just me or does this ad have real "enjoy the camps" energy?

Unified Theory of Crackpots gains more supporting evidence.
