I’ll never forgive Disney and the Star Wars fandom for its reaction to The Last Jedi. Like, TLJ was brilliant…! But noooo, y’all were like “wah, they told jokes in the casino sequence. Also, what was the point of broom kid…? Is he a character now?” And then Palpatine somehow returned!

Scorsese's "Silence" was a financial flop and it came out after the 2016 election, exactly the time people were hand-wringing about how Hollywood looked down on people of faith, because right-wing Christians specifically want to go to movies about woke professors getting owned

This cartoon by Ella Baron from the Guardian today actually made me well up a little. We will keep fighting. Together.

This MAGA influencer has nearly half a million followers on TikTok. He was one of the leaders of the movement to destroy "Drag Queen Reading Hours" at public libraries. It's all projection with them, isn't it? Grief, "a school playground assistant." That's so youth pastor-adjacent!

Oh my fucking god I thought they made this up. They did not. I just tried it myself

tired of these little buttholes on everything

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

...oh my god, even THIS is barely satire now

None of these people should be legislators.

The fact that fandom culture destroyed gooseworx’s passion for her own story is a sad and powerful indictment of how fandoms interact with creators nowadays.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

We need to take this "nihilistic hate" jargon and throw it in the trash. Definitionally, it means nothing. Law enforcement is only interested in it because it helps them obscure right-wing extremist violence. The public finds the concept offensive. Just drop it, imo www.cbsnews.com/news/san-die...

C’mon man. No one can live like this.

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.

I think Democrats like Cory Booker should take a hard look in the mirror and consider why Jeff Bezos loves their tax cut proposals so much. Billionaires would love to see a weak state with a gutted fiscal capacity.

And the 8 Dems are: Henry Cuellar (TX), Don Davis (NC), Cleo Fields (LA), Laura Gillen (NY), Vicente Gonzalez (TX), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (WA), & Eugene Vindman (VA).

Hell of a week for the opposition: 8 Senate Dems voted to confirm a Trump judge who wouldn’t admit Biden won. A Dem governor pardoned an election denier who orchestrated a breach of her county’s election system. 8 House Dems voted for a bill attacking trans rights in schools. Feel represented?

Fresh new American dystopia headline just dropped www.thegamer.com/grammacracke...

it’s weird how often nominally liberal white cis americans seem to think “access to bathrooms outside of home” is a hilariously abstruse and low stakes problem, having forgotten that a whole part of jim crow was “if you use the wrong bathroom, we can basically justify doing anything we want to you.”

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

I need money so I can pay people I like to make things I like.

Interesting that the Trump administration is laying down a marker that a military attack on an unarmed craft can be the basis for prosecuting senior government officials who supervised the attack in home countries of the vehicles' occupants.

"You need to be nonviolent, that's how all the past protests have worked." "No, not like that. You can't boycott, petition elected officials, run for office, block roads, you have to get permission to protest, solicit petition signatures, or even be a little annoying. Also we'll still oppress you."

Nobody: Midna during important cutscenes for no reason:

Since I started identifying as anti-fascist and learning more about the history of fascism and genocide, I’ve learned a lot about genocide denial in general. Theres ALWAYS an excuse about why a given thing can’t be termed “genocide.”

If you were looking for an extra-good reason to go to the small bookshops still clinging to life in the margins where you live, here it is.

Memetic evolution. It is suboptimal for it to make you just horny if there's also an opportunity to make you mad and jealous. Maybe the best argument for being "horny on main" is that horniness will otherwise be cloaked in pathological discourse and will crowd out the simpler kind.

climbing over my peers at the press conference, clambering up to sit on the tallest reporters shoulders, shouting as they drag me away QUINTA, QUINTA HAVE YOU READ MR BOOP variety.com/2026/film/ne...

One thing I haven't seen anyone note yet is the wording of the AIPAC victory lap post about Massie. Did you see how they referred to "our community"? Inferring that they are the Jewish community? They are deliberately FEEDING antisemitic conspiracy theories and you'll never convince me otherwise.

Oh. Hell. No.

Whoa, hold up there Jeff—who said anything about "double"? You pay an effective tax rate of 0.98%. We want to centuple your taxes. Then again, you'd still be a billionaire, so maybe more than centuple.

These RCT results (via Swayable) get at the big problem. The right wing immigration ads Dems ran both built public support for the ICE nightmare we are living now, AND were politically disastrous, showing clear backfire on candidate choice questions. They made voters want to vote for Trump.

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

it's fundamentally still so goofy that that man knocked down an entire wing of the actual white house

This is absolutely atrocious and a deathknell for many websites Serebii should be ok as a large portion of our traffic is direct due to our reputation, but this is horrendous for all individual sites everywhere. These things scrape our sites then kill us. I see no logic to it.

Robert Eggers' Swan Lake

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

How could I not appreciate his greeting every day? 🥺🩷

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

When a movie is titled "The Sorcery of Nymph Circe" but nobody is transformed into an animal.
