You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

“well he’s better than the other candidate” i would like to invite you all to consider that rationalizing away things like nazi tattoos instead of demanding that people meet the incredibly low bar of “not having nazi tattoos” is exactly how we have gotten here.

I watched Brightburn today for shits and grins, and I can’t help but feel like my calling The Boys as subtle as a baseball bat has turned out to be incredibly uncharitable. If The Boys is a bat, Brightburn is a brick with MEDAFUR scrawled across it in sick.

Oof.

Videos of haunted houses crack me up because there’ll be a Victorian sanitarium with someone in an elaborate, obviously expensive costume, and then the very next thing will be someone in a Garfield t-shirt. I know it’s dark but THERE’S A THEME, CHRISTIE.

This is so wild, these people literally cannot see how things are connected. You can't have an anti-authoritarian politics that loves violent border enforcement, unlimited funds for cops, and policing queer people out of existence. That *doesn't exist*.

People who get mad that “Halloween isn’t costumes anymore, it’s just references” are just bemoaning the lack of a monoculture. People are doing what people have always done: Dressing in what they consider to be cultural touchstones. The fact that those have moved from the general to the specific

Saw a video from a channel that I otherwise genuinely enjoy that tried to neutrally compare algospeak to federal censorship of radio and television, and yeah, no. Federal censorship had issues, but it had listed rules. Not sure what you could or could not do? There’s a list, and a body you could

Potentially controversial opinion: While the Donner Cut is a generally better, more cohesive movie, it makes the character of Superman worse.

My iPhone 11 is getting increasingly shitty. I’ve been hesitant to buy a new phone because I’ve been waiting for the AI bubble to shit the bed. So here’s my question: Does the internet hive mind know of one that will a) work on T-Mobile and b) function without setting fire to the Amazon, (cont’d)

If you enjoy traveling, that’s great. But travel does not somehow magically turn you into a better person, and there is no mystical component to going to a different place. You just had the money and time to do so. Calm the fuck down.

I told Kaycee about this, and she said she absolutely would have started an anonymous interview this way.

BREAKING: Five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack on az-Zawayda in central Gaza, according to medical sources at Al-Aqsa Hospital. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/glkirt

Brad, get off IMDb. You have substandard homes to repair.

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

holy fuck if that crater was any bigger you'd think the IDF bombed it

Months ago, I bought this still from Doctor Who and the Daleks at an antique mall and framed it. Unfortunately, it’s too damn dark to make out the tiny Peter Cushing. So, I backed it with some 1-inch foam, and cut a hole for a remote-controlled tap light.

As the week ends, I'm thinking about Miss Major. She did not want the past, including Stonewall, to be used as an excuse for inaction. She demanded action from those in power. She called for unity among trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming people amid escalating political attacks.

Okay, look. I’m not going to defend the things he said when he was younger. But as someone who had a rough childhood and spent my twenties making the world pay for it, it does not make the work I’ve done, or the leftism it’s resulted in, insincere. It simply means I took longer to get this.

“Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice”? What, uh, whattayou mean there, Yer Holiness?

I think X-men is a better metaphor for queer identity, etc., than for race. I worry that mutation as a stand-in for race allows creators to “talk about” racism in a fantastical way without necessarily engaging with the real-world impacts of racialized identity.

The cat got out for a few hours last night and, while calling for her, I saw a good-sized dead rabbit under the hedge right in front of our door. Went inside, hoping that a stray dog or something would take care of it by morning. Moira opened the door today to a possum dragging it across the stoop.

“Stop calling us fascists or we will bring the full weight of federal law enforcement down upon you” is definitely gonna do the job. 10/10

I’ve said it before, any judge who so comfortably and clearly shows their prejudice should immediately be barred from their jobs, but we don’t live in a world that makes sense. We live in a world where white people get to deem racism as a simple inconvenience and be the sole arbiter of its weight.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave.

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point. Curious...

Counterpoint: Members of the Republican Party are very upfront about their identities.

I am going to burn some goodwill with what I'm about to say, and hate that it is even coming out of my keyboard, but PLEASE follow me on this one: MTG... *sigh*... has a point, because this headline is VERY misleading. HEAR ME OUT. No, really. (a thread) www.comicsands.com/mtg-santos-p...

Every time people chase the idea of “preventing” autism, what they’re really saying is that autistic lives are worth erasing. Bullshit. We don’t need fewer autistic people. We need a better world for every kind of brain and body.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):
