The first time someone hated Michael Eisner, we got the masterpiece that is Shrek. The second time someone hates Michael Eisner, we get capitulating to fascism for the sake of a monopolistic merger. We are a society in decline.

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

Whether this was the gods, or a UN employee with a switch, it's hilarious.

Dang Mencken, right on the money

Oh my god he's such a dork. $10 says he tried to play DnD and left because "that's for nerds" (he sucked at cooperating and storytelling) but he liked the aesthetics of it.

If the haves don’t reinforce the idea that the have nots are lazy/stupid/poor because of things that aren't their own fault then young/poor people might realize it’s a system of oppression that’s screwing us all and fight back. That's why Gen Z is now the resented-for-being-poor generation.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

I'm rewatching Gilmore Girls with my wife. She hates me every time the theme song comes on

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

How Arjen Lubach (Dutch late night talk show host) reacts to Kimmel being canceled by Trump

The way out of this is a critical mass of the population turning against it. I don't know the necessary threshold, and yes, some people obviously have more public influence than others. But in general, that's the way out. Anyone who scoffs at declining Trump support as irrelevant is wrong.

Cancelled Hulu, Disney, and Paramount Plus. You know what to do:

Kimmel isn’t exactly on my comedic register but silencing laughter—be it derisive or joyous—is something we need to fight so hard against rn. All of us have become darker and sourer and for good reason. But we must fan the embers of comedy in all forms.

This is gonna have sooooo many ramifications

My banking app sends me notifications with the same intensity and rhythm as an amber alert, and that's just uncalled for.

Trans rights are human rights.

something to keep in mind is that everything the right is currently doing to trans people is just what they have wanted for decades to do to gay people; they just can’t get away with doing the latter right now

that's really what it is. as long as the fascists are rich white cishet guys in suits, they'll accept it.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

It might not be my cup of tea, but the music of Imagine Dragons makes a lot of people happy, and that's a huge problem.

Never forget that one of the big reasons that social media is so heavily slanted towards bad moderation and ignoring violent rhetoric from the right is that they did have automated tools that deplatformed far right rhetoric, but they turned it all off because almost all Republicans got caught too

"I have no words for this" I do. That's called genocide my guy. And it's messed up and you should be trebucheted into the sun for advocating for it.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It took me an absurdly long time to realize that these are the edges of a filmstrip, not ladders

Just saw Weapons, fantastic movie. I have some concerns (SPOILERS): -Why would Gladys want her and Alex to leave if she can brainwash anyone she wants? She got the cop and the junky immediately -Did her frozen automatons she was feeding off of ever have to go to the bathroom? How would that work?

🧵 On 9/11 I, like all millennials, was in school. 24 years later, I am a school teacher. And though I always chuckle about my 3rd grade teacher accidentally showing us the moment the second plane hit, I'll always remember how this is my generation's defining moment, how the Challenger was for Xers.

He also fought for the removal of laws and mechanisms for peaceful protest. What happened isn't good, and wasn't right, but he's been instrumental in getting rid of many of the most effective nonviolent options for change.

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

They had these at the libraries in college. They should totally make them a thing countrywide. Bring back third spaces!

I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…” Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.

Inside of me I have a fat basset hound who's seen better days, and a labrador who just wants pets and a treat.
