Half the world’s recording artists need to make some calls and get some guest verses deleted from their tracks.

Over the past year or two, Adobe has been littering its software with “AI tools,” new features that were marked with that little AI ✨ emoji thing. Some seemed genuinely useful for common tasks, like removing backgrounds in Photoshop. But gen AI sucks so no thank you. Now they’ve removed the ✨s.

A fun fact I know is that we used to do a lot of denim manufacturing in the NYC Garment District up into the 90s, when the industry moved overseas. Companies sold their equipment to manufacturers in Mexico, Japan, etc. No one makes those machines anymore, so we can’t bring that industry back.

I love how people are still debating whether tariffs are raising prices meanwhile retail fabric prices have almost doubled in a year. Why is everything so expensive? Trump!

Packing to go see the boyfriend’s family for the holidays. Category is: Don’t get hate-crimed.

Just saw a successful missed connection post on r/CambridgeMA about two gays tracking down copies of Heated Rivalry at the Harvard Book Store 🥲

The least accomplished people you’ll meet are the most likely to cling to some sort of pride in their heritage, something they had absolutely nothing to do with. It’s all they have to give themselves a sense of value and belonging, and they should be made to feel a great deal of shame for it.

I’ve been thinking about what I would do with the ballroom, assuming we can’t just knock it over, and I think a homeless shelter or a school for refugee children would be high on my list.

This was one of the most fun interviews I’ve done in a while! I loved geeking out over sci-fi, historical fic, and my middle school One Direction phase.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. There’s nothing difficult to understand about this.

I will donate to any Democrat who campaigns on Nuremberg Trials for everyone who worked for ICE during this period.

Look what I made! 💍

“I’m on X to engage with people who disagree with me.” No you’re not. You just have a bigger following over there and your substack needs the hate traffic.

The only people still on X are Nazis and people whose incomes depend on Nazi clicks.

Honestly, Pritzger could be both guys. Newsom will end up being neither.

I think there’s a scenario where Harris didn’t retreat into comfortable memoir-writing mode after the election and instead became the resister in chief during Trump’s first hundred days and remained the de facto leader of the party. But alas, I fear her ship has sailed.

Speaking as someone who’s been hanging out in the Vatican of American fashion for the past three years…no one knows what anything means.

Naturalization wasn’t even a centralized federal function until 1906. From 1790 until then, Congress delegated the process to state and local courts, so processes varied wildly and records are patchy. If your ancestors naturalized before 1906, good luck proving it. If they came before 1790…lol.

Literally every War on Terror veteran knows that this is a text book war crime.

I really struggle to describe to Americans how awful it is to have a war going on in your back yard. But like, imagine all the joy and human potential you see for yourself over the next few years and replace them with misery, and deprivation like you’ve never felt before. War is a thief of life.

If we ever get into a war with an actual army that can shoot back, we’ll sure be glad that the other side isn’t executing American prisoners of war and soldiers wounded on the battlefield, which is basically what we’re doing to these alleged “drug smugglers” (who are quite probably fishermen).

I’m increasingly convinced that long-term elevated cortisol levels are going to be millennial’s lead poisoning.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

The fact that Bari Weiss controls a major US news network is one of the most ludicrous facts I can think of about these very ludicrous times. It’s like appointing Pennywise the Clown to run a daycare or something.

“Living for vengeance might feel good in the moment, but … harboring that much corrosive energy would eat away at our spirits and leave us empty and unsatisfied.” I don’t know. I once enacted a four year revenge plot without the person even knowing it was me and it makes me giggle to this day 🤷🏼‍♂️

When I was in the army, we received training on the absolute requirement to refuse to obey illegal orders at least once a year. Within the military, “Don’t obey illegal orders” is not a controversial or surprising concept. This whole faux outrage is for the Fox News crowd, not the military.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

I’ve had complaints about the VA here and there, but I can’t describe how good it feels to be able to go to a doctor when I need to without worrying about money. American socialized medicine is amazing. I have it. Presidents have it. I wish everyone had it. We should make this happen ASAP.

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Haha! Got ‘em!! Six goddamn fingers!! Imagine being a designer and advertising your business with AI slop!?

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now. Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Democrats winning when they run like Democrats. Here’s why that’s bad news for Democrats. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

Hey fam, do we think this photo is AI slop?

Kat is the hero Americas needs, and we’re probably not going to get out of this mess until most of us are willing to throw our bodies in from of the state’s fascist machinery. This is the kind of leadership that makes it into history books.

The dying gasp of an obsolete generation of straight white male sex pest politicians who are big mad that no one wants to listen to them anymore.

This guy made $5m consulting last year and could be off doing literally anything other than this, but instead has decided to torch anything left of his reputation in a doomed attempt to reign over a city that he clearly despises and which clearly despises him. Just go away, Andrew.

I sometimes try to imagine a world where Christians were known for their Christ-like love and concern for the poor and vulnerable instead of stuff like this. www.newsweek.com/church-preac...

Can everyone just stop being crazy for a minute?!

I hope that someone is working on some big splashy queer counter programming to play against the HBO Harry Potter show. Give us Queers in Space or Hunter Schafer Fights Dragons or something! We’ll watch!

The biggest issue in America is the disintegration of the old constitutional order, and if you’re not going to campaign on it, you’re also not going to do anything about it if you win. All that is needed for evil to triumph in the world is for Democrats to do nothing.

This should be another article of impeachment.

My feelings about my military service are complicated and ever evolving, but one thing that I’m certain of is that my experience of war, of doing violence and having violence done to me, all for no reason whatsoever in the end, has left me with an almost crippling empathy for my fellow human beings.

Bernie's implication that a veteran is just expected and allowed to be awash with toxic masculinity had me thinking today about the time I read @lorencrowe.bsky.social (one of the gayer men [laudatory] I'm aware of)'s jaw-dropping Silver Star citation.

I hope that people are talking to Ayanna Pressley about running. Markey could lose or he could kick off during the campaign, and having one of MA’s senate seats locked up by the John Fetterman of Marblehead would be a disaster.

Anyone working for ICE needs to be frozen out of American society forever. If they hate this country so much that they’ll go to war against it, then they can leave.

This is the way. Democrats who won’t campaign against Trump won’t do anything to fight him once they get elected.

Frankly, I’m shocked that Trump actually thought he might get a Nobel Prize. I thought he was just gassing himself up this whole time. What a bonkers thing to think!

In a sane and just world where the police actually served and protected the public, local cops would be patrolling immigrant communities and arresting ICE agents for assault and kidnapping.
