Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel! It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights" But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???

Happy 17776 / “What football will look like in the future” day to all who celebrate! One of my favorite sci-fi stories of all time. If you haven’t read / watched it, it’s worth your time👇

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum i am going to the store

the thing is, people could easily just watch the fucking shitty wizard show and keep their mouth shut abt it. but they want to not only do whatever they want, they want to tell people about it and argue about how they're still a good person. they want everyone else to assuage their guilt for them

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Just a reminder that this account just makes things up and presents them as news. It's lib fan fiction. Nothing from the Halfway Post is real. They pretend it's satire, but what is this even satirizing? What's the commentary? What's the joke?

Oh I understand... We've had men like you on my planet. Educated men, men of science and medicine. Men who were searching for some self-described ideal and willing to main and murder untold thousands to find it. - John Crichton, Farscape S1:e9 "DNA Mad Scientist"

It's about time!! Comic series Monstress (Marjorie Liu & Sana Takeda) to get an adult animated TV show:

Farscape started 27 years ago today. "Thrown into a distant part of the universe, an Earth astronaut finds himself part of a fugitive alien starship crew."

I am filled with a deep yearning.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

Trying to remind myself

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

@ziibiing.com is the brains behind standwithminnesota.com, and she regularly posts gofundme links here and on the site (which means someone filled out a form asking for it to be added). Another great option is food aid, because a smaller grocery bill means immediately more $$ for rent or legal fees.

It is super weird whenever someone sets up a new Substack and I can't say I have regrets about ditching the platform at all

I know we're having a lot of fun with the whole penis doping thing, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out that this should be the scandal in ski jumping that everyone is screaming about apnews.com/article/olym...
