Fun fact about the Hulu splash screen: it’s clearly taken before the episode started taping since I am wearing my LGBTQIA+ Ally pin. It reflected too much on camera, and despite the great efforts of the crew to dull it, I had to put it in my pocket.

Oh hey Hulu

I don’t know how many people follow me here that don’t elsewhere, but I realized I never shared on BlueSky that I’m going to be on Jeopardy tomorrow (Dec 2nd, next day Hulu & Peacock)! Tune in to see how I do (and if you’re in LA and want to come to my watch party, message for details)

Looking to make a great show even better? Jeff Hiller is a great place to start!

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

It’s just a jump to the left…

This morning’s NBA news is brought to you by ESPN Bet Sportsbook.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

So, did YouTube just think you could hold up a mic in the stadium and use that to broadcast performances? Haven’t heard a bit of the anthems or half time performance. Real amateur production value.

My wife got this steel book because she worked on the restoration, and a pack of 12-15 wild dads followed us home.

Holy shit. I’d never seen this version; the Tonight Show Band is INCREDIBLE!

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

If only Los Angeles Children’s Hospital had this courage

Damn it, Rufio

Today's newsletter is my big takedown of Rahm Emanuel and his anti-trans BS. www.readtpa.com/p/the-smalle...

It took 6 months of processing grief, but we were finally ready last week to bring a new dog into our lives. Meet Huckleberry: 130lbs of pure love!

in the final hours of pride month, we just passed $25,000 USD raised for trans charities 🥹 thank you all so much, seriously

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

Just made my first commute through downtown LA in a couple of weeks, and I cannot stress hard enough how NORMAL things are. It’s quiet and bustling with people going to work, like always. Don’t listen to the liars and fascists trying to convince you otherwise.

“We didn’t vote for this!” Well then you’re stupid or you’re lying. I don’t care either way.

You do not need answers you cowardly fool. What happened was extremely clear. What you and your colleagues need to do is fight back in every way at your disposal, and then some. Start by promoting immediate impeachment for fascist scum Trump and Noem. Make that the main topic of conversation.

Spent the afternoon downtown watching Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman as part of LA Conservancy’s Last Remaining Seats.

I have notes… Sometimes free is overpriced.

Well played, Box Office Game. Exactly what I wanted for Actor 3.

I love this and you will, too. Donate, donate, donate!

I wish I knew more people who followed professional cycling because today’s Giro D’Italia stage needs to be talked about. Just incredible!

A whaaaaat?!

This weekend, I dressed as Quint for a Jaws 50th Anniversary event. I realized later that I came way closer to Frank Oz than Robert Shaw.

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights

This was my wedding day, and I vividly remember watching this clip play repeatedly on the airport TVs as we waited for our honeymoon flight.

i am endlessly amused by the ongoing story of David Zaslav: America’s Worst CEO www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

David Zaslav’s salary should be dispersed evenly to anyone around the globe who has ever had a good idea.

A cowardly and deliberately half-assed response from Lithgow.

I really hate the media framing the Tesla earnings news around the idea that Musk is saying he’ll step away from DOGE. A Nazi not working for the government is still a Nazi. If Tesla wants its reputation back, THEY need to get rid of him, too.

Go see Sinners. On the biggest screen you can. Holy hell what a movie!

This admin and its supporters are real-life full-fledged Nazi-equivalents and need to be treated as such, by everyone, immediately. 24/7 contempt and defiance. And the next admin can’t let Any of them off the hook. Prison prison prison.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

There’s worse places than Union Station to have a drink and read some Chandler. (H/t @rexparker.bsky.social )

@rexparker.bsky.social Loved today’s blog. As I solved, I was imagining the paragraph I would have written for MURSE if I was covering today, and thankfully you wrote it for me. If anything, you toned down my imagined rhetoric.

What that also means, and I know folks hate to hear it, is that your Harry Potter games are Cybertrucks. Books are Teslas. Yes, you bought them before you knew she was like that, but if you're still promoting the work in your community, you are making her money. She will be crazy with that money.

For Nation Trans Day of Visibility I am — of course — backing "A Trans Person Made Your Puzzle," a new crossword package edited by @adanicklmao.bsky.social and Sara Cantor. Join me, won't you? sites.google.com/view/transxw...

For Transgender Day of Visibility, I planned a video with harmonies, but my guitar needs a lot of work. So, here's a demo while I finish. To my trans brothers, sisters, friends, family and strangers: I see you, support you, and will fight for you. You are not alone! on.soundcloud.com/6ejAz9mGZndv...

White Lotus is teaching me I may not have had the right impression of what the crème de la crème of the chess world looks like.

@rexparker.bsky.social gave his Rexplacements a slight raise this year, so I decided to use my newfound wealth on something I thought he would appreciate.
