Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point "Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

I’ve really come around on Showgirl now that I found the hidden track

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

What we're seeing is further evidence of the modern trend of paying lip service to diversity and inclusion because it looks good while personal actions reveal that it's actually all just about self-interest. variety.com/2025/digital...

‘gender activism’ is a strange way to say ‘endless bigoted tirade against (and active harassment of) trans people’

“Banning books won’t preserve childhood innocence. But it will rob young people of stories that might have enriched or validated their lives, and it will teach others that censorship is the solution to ideas you find challenging or contrary to your personal values.”

It is 1979 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people. It is 2025 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people. It is.....

This is essentially the “same sex marriage bans affect both straight and gay people” equally argument, but even more nefarious that cis people still get access to hormone therapy and chest surgery

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A group of leading ocean and climate scientists, including Canadians, is calling for a ban on deep-sea mining just as U.S. President Donald Trump moves to fast-track undersea mining approvals. CBC News science reporter Inayat Singh has the story.

With more than 600,000 EVs on Canada's roads, there are soon going to be a lot of batteries looking to be recycled. What's the plan? CBC News @alexandramaej.bsky.social‬ digs into EVs, black mass & critical minerals

Israeli soldiers gunned down Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy who was born in New Jersey, last month in the West Bank. His death has spurred anger over soldiers’ use of force and an apparent lack of accountability. nyti.ms/3ZzbQ8Q

I fight for a world where the first thought average people have about someone transitioning is "wow science is cool" and not "let me share with you my opinions about toilets"

"what is a woman?" (and companion questions "what is sex?" etc) really is the trans rights version of "is a fetus alive" -- the answer doesn't matter and has the effect of reorienting discussion away from the wellbeing of the trans person, or woman, at hand

Yes. In a sane media environment, the bathroom ban would be the end of anyone treating 'gender critical feminists' as anything other than a hate group. It's a straightforwardly bigoted policy that imposes an insane 'solution' to a nonexistent problem.

Transphobes who are obsessed with determining if strangers are transgender are called “transvestigators.” When you see that word, you know that someone is obsessed with other people’s genitals. We used to call such people “perverts.”

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

by the way, if you're calling yourself a "feminist" but you're celebrating a ruling that ties the legal definition of woman to only biology, you need to do some critical thinking

hi, cis folks! so, when they release the US cass review that makes the cass review look like a trans liberation manifesto, i think you should • ask who’s making the case against transition • answer whether they have trans people’s best interest at heart • listen to actual trans people instead 🧵

I'm glad there's something out there for people who love Studio Ghibli films, but also hate art, imagination and goodness.

They are hoping that your hatred for trans people is so extreme that you will blame her rather than the Fascists making this decision

Israeli forces launched intense aerial attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing more than 400 people, according to Gazan officials, breaking a temporary cease-fire with Hamas. nyti.ms/3Rh5HJW

We aren't exaggerating that this is resegregation. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Brad Pritchett, CEO of Equality Texas, says of the move that "it’s important to point out that his opinion is just that—an opinion. But if state agencies follow this directive, it will jeopardize the safety of the nearly 100 thousand trans people in the state."

Whenever anti-trans panic gets whipped up, more of these stories happen.

you know it's a busy day at work when I've had my headphones in since 9 a.m., but only just now got around to actually turning any music on

Still thinking about this quote from a writer at NYT who said she "can't quite say [Trump's attacks on trans people are] exactly consequential, since so few lives are materially affected." There are an estimated 1.3 million trans adults in the U.S. That's equal to the population of Dallas, TX.

Whenever someone says this to me I ask them what other group would they be willing to do this kind of political trade for? When they say no one I tell them to think why trans people exist outside this sphere so they can, and when they name some group I stay silent to let that sink in for them.

They just repealed the equal protection of trans people to housing and credit. It was never about sports. It was never about kids.

It’s easier to deny crimes against humanity when data isn’t being collected. This is very scary.

At the stonewall monument rn

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

Breaking News: A judge temporarily stopped the Trump administration’s plan to end funds for hospitals that offer gender-transition care for people under 19.

And as a corollary, it would be really nice if reviewers didn’t keep calling adult books written by women YA. I lost count of the times NETTLE & BONE got described as YA. The heroine is THIRTY. I wrote it for adults! It is fine if teens want to read it, but it’s not YA and that is FINE.

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

i want to see a puppet show where the slow, dramatic death of a puppet character is depicted by the puppeteer being dragged offstage by other black-cloaked figures, leaving the empty puppet behind

NYT, as always:

Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.
