Mitch McConnell has become the Hotblack Desiato of the US Senate.

As we head into July 4th weekend, I needed to take a moment to reflect on where we are.

My take: Supergirl is just a superhero version of Leon, but better because a) Kara has a more complex backstory and b) no creepy vibes. I'm sure the incels would have a very normal reaction to this take.

First entry into my new custom build series, the Album Project. This is the one I absolutely had to do, and we'll see what grabs me next.

Canada is now eligible for Eurovision, and I think we all need to see Carly Rae Jepsen and Walk Off the Earth battling it out in their country final.

As an elementary teacher, I will unequivocally say: fuck this and fuck anyone who advocates for this. And if you want the polite version…that WAS the polite version.

Join us this Thursday as we come together in solidarity, support, and lots & lots of scoops! 🍦 Try out signature scoop (Gooey Butter Cake & Banana Cream Pudding in a Buttercrisp Waffle Bowl) & learn more about the Trans Up Front mission at this year's Ice Cream Social! 🍌

🎵 I wanna be…where the people aren’t 🎵

The DoD change to the list of officially recognized religions is a travesty, but it’s also the starkest example of out-group homogeneity bias I have ever seen. The idea that Christianity has a bunch of denominations and Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism are monolithic is the height of ignorance.

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

George RR Martin could singlehandedly wreck JKR's transphobic campaign. The fact that he won't is all I need to know about him. Fuck him and his endless parade of mediocre TV shows.

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

Everything out of Google I/O today is a pile of navel-gazing, fart-huffing bullshit that no one wants, and I wish nothing but complete financial ruin on this company.

and now, your moment of zen. 🎥 (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYhEwUvv67q/)

I was grinning from ear to ear for like 10 minutes straight when this crossed my pod feed today. theletterspage.libsyn.com/episode-317-...

Again, the best time to leave Substack was yesterday. The second-best time to leave Substack is now. Friends don't let friends hang out with Nazis and TERFs

I can't deal with it now, but this summer I definitely plan to finish migrating to DuckDuckGo, because fuck all this forever.

Wrapped up People of Note from @iridiumstudios.bsky.social just now, and I cannot express enough how perfect this game was for me. I laughed, I cried, I petted every accorgion at least twice, but most of all I felt like the creators cared about music as much as I do. Thanks, Iridium!

Seeing all these lists of TV shows really drives home how different my tastes are. Like - how can I take seriously any top 15 list that doesn’t include Slings and Arrows? What are people doing with their lives?

Once more for the cheap seats: LEAVE THE NAZI BAR OR STOP CLAIMING YOU ARE ANTI NAZI.

Your voice really matters right now. If you would like show your support, join us in requesting that Wizards and Hasbro voluntarily recognize our union by signing our petition at cwa.org/uwotcletter

this is my team, and we need your support to fight for better working conditions. I love this job and I love working with these people, and I want to continue to do so for as long as possible and under the best possible circumstances.

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

Kash Patel seems to be operating on the Mel Brooks definition of “tragedy.”

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

You and me both, BlueSky.

FUCKING LEAVE SUBSTACK NO SHIT THEY SUPPORT NAZIS IF YOU BIG PUBS LEFT SUBSTACK THEY WOULD HAVE LESS $$ FFS a lot of us already made the leap because we believe that fighting fascism is more important than doing the easy thing and complaining about it hey support NAZI-FREE liberatory writing:

Also, disco was yet another in the long line of genres that only became "acceptable" (to the mass market) once white musicians stepped in. Jazz, Swing, Rock, Blues, Disco, Ska, Rap - we've been doing this for a LONG time.

If you think you hate AI, I promise you don't hate it enough.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Esquire couldn’t book this actor for an interview so fed previous responses through a couple of thief machines and ‘interviewed’ a digital photocopy. Including asking personal questions about his dad. People need to be sued and then fired for this.

Whether you’re trans, an ally, or still learning, be part of the growing coalition fighting for safety, dignity, and liberation for all trans people. Proudly hosted by Chicago Therapy Collective, Equality Illinois, Life is Work, and @transupfrontil.com. Supported by Indivisible Chicago. Info ⤵️

Trans people = seen Bigoted wizard author = ignored #TransDayOfVisibility

Slept in my Pearl Jam shirt and I woke up ona wheelin, ona whizzat ona wayeeyayah.

If @melissabeanil.bsky.social actually cared about my district, she’d be out with us today. But I guess her owners won’t let her be seen near signs protesting the Iran war.

it’s not hyperbole, JKR literally said support for HP is support for her transphobia and she uses the money she makes from it to TRY TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY if you watch that show please don’t ever speak to me again trans lives are more important than your fandom of a terrible human’s IP

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Video essays need to be eligible for documentary film prizes. Exhibit A:

Oo, yeah, I'm in. I really dig the variety of options here.

Repost with the greatest cartoon theme song of all time. Already quite a few good ones in this quote thread, but there's still so many left: Escaflowne, MKR, Baccano, Ranma 1/2 seasons 1 and 2, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, anything Disney Afternoon... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OxF...

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!! -Do not support ANY of this -JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK -Seriously. NONE. Of it.

Hey @gamefiend.bsky.social , since you are a fellow designer of music TTRPGs, I feel like you need to check this out. Demo is up now on Steam.

Sooo...not that I assume anyone at @iridiumstudios.bsky.social has played Rockalypse, but this is basically the video game version of Rockalypse, and you should demo it immediately.

84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.
