A movie making half a billion dollars in a week doesn’t mean it has any cultural impact. It just means people went to see it. The first Avatar made $749m in 2009. Toy Story 3 made $415m in 2010. How has either movie changed the culture in the last 17 years? They haven’t. The Avengers, on the other

Bitch, that's some weaksauce. You gotta come out as trans and destroy all your life prospects and relationships with family like the rest of us. 💅🏼

Number 13: "Athlete and sports competitor" annual salary $62,360. Wtaf are they talking about? www.cnbc.com/2025/12/26/t...

Not only ‘an estranged parent of ten years’ but (a quick google shows) a ‘specialist’ in family estrangement She tells abusive parents that their kids are the problem

we can see how in most of the world belief in "if only we could change the party in charge" has led to the rise of fascism, but it's not just a "party in charge" problem, it's a problem of the state's existence.

an excerpt which talks about what i see many "communists" do on this website, making excuses for repression and terror the same way and for the same reasons proponents of capitalism do.

from 2018, this essay details how and why the Russian Revolution ended up failing in most of its goals of liberation, and how the good things it did do are overshadowed by its failures to truly liberate the people. why simply swapping rulers won't produce true freedom for the people.

Alexis Pfeiffer doesn’t deserve to have any clients.

Guy who couldn't even win a primary has thoughts on successful political movements.

This is like the second article about cis women going on T to get hornier for men from the paper that has been cited multiple times in anti-trans policymaking btw

I’m watching a “hardcore F1 fan” run a NASCAR 25 career mode and he’s driving me up the wall by not riding the bottom line in the turns.

Twitter users are spreading some crazy misinfo about Bluesky amid this AI art situation. I have a really cynical read on all this — I think there’s fearmongering on Twitter to prevent people from leaving. “Please don’t walk out of the jail, even though the door is open”

oh we’re so sorry to hear about your 4chan dating service that fell apart it gets 5 big booms

Lawless Alan’s parents hated that poor kid.

Not letting your kid watch Home Alone 2 until they’re a teen is certainly a choice one can make. It’s a huge overreaction, but certainly a choice you can make.

There is SO much misinfo floating around Twitter re Bluesky, it’s even worse than this, I think a lot of Twitter users are afraid of Bluesky chipping away at Twitter more and more… really reinforced to me the feeling that Twitter users are suffering with sunk cost fallacy

You know that famous line, “tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all”? That was written by Tennyson, in “In Memoriam A.H.H.”, written for his dear friend Arthur Hallam, from whom he was inseparable, and definitely totally absolutely not at all gay with

For a lot of Twitter users, it’s a load-bearing decision. Taking Bluesky seriously means accepting the Twitter they know and love is dead, never coming back, might further deteriorate. It means a lot of sadness and mourning and being serious about what the site is, not what it could be.

My fear of needles is so bad that there’s a nurse tech doing training tonight with needles and I start sweating and getting anxious just by looking at them. She’s not even poking me with the needle!

Was reminded of this post and when I read it I realized that the degree to which a legal standard is established is literally the basis cited by SCOTUS when they overturned Roe V Wade, so...

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism” They don’t want their atrocities documented. They don’t want a historical record. They don’t want the world to know. That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

I will continuously remind people that a general, when asked on the record, said that the military would conduct strikes against “domestic terrorists” on US soil.

"Its not easy for small artists" On twitter I had 250 followers, Had a smear campaign run on me by transphobes, had to entirely disappear and come back as "someone else" online. Here I have 500+ and can be myself. Plus, its 500+ WITH INTERACTION. not 250 ghosts.

Listening to Alphabet Squadron book three and we get a lot from onboard an Imperial carrier. It humanizes Imperials, and I think that’s important, especially today. It’s a stark reminder that fascists are human. That they act like you and me. And that is what makes them dangerous.

the last PWHL game i attended they were literally punching each other in the face, those girls do heated rivalries quite good

Im sorry but trying this argument of "The owner will hunt down the trans people!" when you're ON FUCKING TWITTER OF ALL FUCKING PLACES is beyond me. YOU ARE ON A SITE FULL OF NEO-NAZIS, OWNED BY A NEO-NAZI WHITE SUPMARCIST. And bots? AGAIN. YOU ARE ON TWITTER. And uh..no you dont get a timeline

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

This is basically how I managed to get through mortuary school these past two years, too. Rx meds (not vitamins or supplements, which didn't work), disability work accommodations, a lot of labor support from my husband (who took over a lot of other tasks), & borrowing from family.

You “grow” by being active and building a community around yourself. You know, the way you do it in the real world. As for bots, I think we’re around the same level as 2014 Twitter bot levels. Re Bsky leadership: tell them to puss off, block/mute them, and live your best Bsky life.

"Sure do love when cop shows make trans people into serial killer monsters"

"LGBTQ activists in Minnesota want prosecutors to treat the killing of a trans woman in Minneapolis as a hate crime, and they want lawmakers to strengthen legal safeguards to protect a community that’s disproportionately the target of violence."

A large Domino’s order got cancelled. Instead of throwing the food away, the driver gave it to the ER. I got a chicken Alfredo bread bowl and chicken parm sandwich out of it.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

"Missouri-born musical artist Chappell Roan has announced the launch of a new project supporting LGBTQ+ communities throughout the country — including two community centers in Missouri."

Art vs artist except it's editor vs edited 🖍️ These are my favorite books we released in 2025! At least I'm pretty sure all of these came out in 2025. What is time. #ttrpg

Bluesky is lacking this

I bet you even normies are done with this shit. I haven't seen one declarative hed in forever. This wishy washy nonsense is dogshit and everyone knows it. 'Maybe something happened guys but only maybe'

I wonder if people in this country know that the VAST MAJORITY of people in the US did not contribute to the Black freedom movement. I'm always taken aback by how people talk online. Folks, your grandparents & great-grandparents DID NOTHING or they were in OPPOSITION, lol.

This is Minnesota. 🤗 Amid ICE concerns, St. Paul grocery store launches free delivery service | FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul share.google/6Vn7KddTALQi...

if the campaign works as a mutual aid hub, doesn't that signal the kind of constituent services the candidate will deliver once elected?

Oh, also: If you want to help us prove this model works, please chip in any small dollar amount! This is a grassroots campaign and we can only do all of this with your support: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

I’ll trivialize it, because it’s not “fear.” It’s Will, and others like him, being an asshole and a contrarian.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now. This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Me: “I want to have Code Lyoko in a physical format.” The world giving me the finger: “Fine, but season one is $200.”

Man imagine if California made its wealthy people pay real, fair taxes and used some amount of that money to make art grants for tv shows on the level with the stuff Canada was doing in the 90’s. Everyone in the MPI would have a job again.

Has Avatar had a cultural impact? No. Is having a cultural impact important? Also no. “Cultural impact” is, on one hand, a meaningless phrase which no piece of art should rush towards. Make the art you want.

My current state rep is my current state rep because during pandemic lockdown his campaign used canvassers not only for standard campaign outreach but also mutual aid outreach to assist isolated folks, especially seniors. He defeated an incumbent who had held that seat for 35 years.

One of the Dems biggest problems is that far too many of them listen to people who think "literally actually helping people" is a bad political strategy.
