i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

well uh on the one hand, we are all thinking about it This is indeed more than I usually think about either Old Spice or the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie Honestly this feels very... edgy early oughts to me? Are they trying to evoke an earlier era of marketing?

Currently on Caltrain heading from the South Bay toward SF, and the train is packed. That would’ve been unthinkable a couple years ago pre-electrification, especially on a Saturday night when headways were once per hour or longer. Frequency matters!

For me this looks a lot like dipping out of "cis people suck" conversations, which are vital! Cissexism is the problem we must all destroy! But as a cis person it's both not my place to insert myself and awkward to hang out soaking strays.

And evergreen advice for any kind of alarming email/phone call. Something I have struggled to remember when I've been phished, for real.

One of my favorite movies from my adolescent years that holds up a hell of a lot more than some

I read three chapters of a book and was flabbergasted at how bad it was, and then I looked it up and it has over 60,000 reviews on Amazon and over a million ratings on Goodreads (both largely positive). Impostor syndrome is fake you don't have any excuse just make something

The dumbest, worst, most annoying person has already done the thing you want to do and someone probably loved it. So you might as well just make the thing

Simone Veil has been living in poverty for over a decade, so if y’all are going to potentially profit from the community event that she originated, you could at least link to her Tumblr or her Patreon on your website that capitalizes on her work. boohooboohooboo.tumblr.com patreon.com/veilsimone

I generally go for shrimp fried rice and beef chow mein because I am a basic bitch at heart, pork potstickers and scallion pancakes if they make 'em good, and dry fried string beans with ground meat

they're calling it "Time Cube." The Time Cube. It's beautiful really, all of life encompassed in 4 simultaneous time days. No one ever did that before, the 4 days. These generals, these big tough guys, come up to me with tears in their eyes and say, thank you for the minor 3-corner time points sir

>Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson were all on Russian payroll >Orban loses in Hungary >Rod Dreher immediately leaves Budapest >The Daily Wire fires half their staff was all the right-wing conspiracy posting about USAID just massive fucking projection?

I don't have strong opinions on the character of the moment but if people are going to argue that we should protect people who post threads of crashing out against the mods, then yeah, we should also argue against piling on to main character dudes. Just block them and move on.

Reminder: ADL tipped off FBI about this guy in July, but didn't prevent the shooting. Weeks after the shooting, FBI cut off ADL and SPLC, then decided to burn SPLC to the ground.

This means that many abortion providers who currently offer telehealth will likely continue, but they will have to offer misoprostol-only abortions. As I reported back in 2024, misoprostol-only abortions are safe and effective, but they take longer and can be more painful. It's an imperfect stopgap

I share this from time to time, but Ghostwriter was supposed to be the soul of a murdered escaped slave.

Annnnd the Governor just made the bill official. A democratically elected official just had his would-be job role made obsolete. The legislature and governor literally phased his position out of existence. This some post Reconstruction Era shit. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Fun backstory here. Sabs blogged about how much they hated those Grammarly commercials. The actor, Jude, turned out to be a Defector reader and was down to make this ad happen. defector.com/vindicated-a...

Hand forged wands To be found at our booth (White Moth Lodge) at the Bremerton Night Market tonight and The PNW Witches Market on Sunday Each one is unique All coloring done with heat- entirely hand forged, between 13 and 15 inches A modern interpretation of historical Völva or Seiðr iron wands

In the DS9 episode Take Me Out to the Holosuite, they made Rom left handed because his actor, Max Grodenchik, played baseball in college and in the minor leagues. He couldn't make his body play baseball badly, so they had him play with his off hand so Rom could be convincingly bad at the game.

The arc of the universe bends towards trans women making a diy version of everything around medical transition (I'm fairly sure it's not the 1st of it's kind but I feel it's the 1st of this quality and polish that I've seen) www.scd31.com/posts/diy-ha...

This movie was a love letter to older millennial trans people I do not understand how you read it as a sign you're aging out of the culture it's rammed full of references that hit hard if you're specifically a trans woman between 35-45.

A look at Ragnov, an unreleased Amiga title from Softeyes that never made it past demo stage, but went on to inspire parts of Hoi and beyond. A fascinating early project by the creators of Moon Child: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/05/ragn... via @seven.eurosky.social

A future Dem president must steal a page from DOGE's book and imemediately seize physical control over the Treasury payments system and GSA (controls keys to the doors of federal facilities) because there's going to be Disagreements about whether Dems are allowed to run things even after they win

“HEY! YOU! HELP ME FILL THIS BOAT WITH SICK COWS AND SAIL OFF THE MAP” is a T Kingfisher book i would read

Hire either a Viking or a Basque fisherman to help me introduce cow pox to the Americas. With a sufficient disease reservoir, there’s a chance smallpox does not wipe out most of the population 400+ years later. Otherwise, I dunno, die in childbirth like everyone else.

Long story short, trigger warnings are an imperfect solution, but they can really help! It's best if they are offered to everyone in an easy format to check, and there is a list of what will and won't be covered by them.

This. I was there for the trigger warning arguments when AO3 was getting hashed out (it's one reason I have a 3-digit UID) and fans writing porn of their favorite Stargate boys were better informed than most reporters on the subject.
