Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

This will kill children.

long thread in here about trans bathroom bans because i’m going to lose it next time i see “they can’t really enforce it!” • laws are rarely enforced evenly • real answer: “assholes are kinda deputized” • it forces a big decision on any trans person who has to leave their home hope that helps!

I know I shouldn’t be proud that the masseuse was so shocked about how tense my shoulders are but I feel like I won something

Wait a minute... Are we actually losing the ability to use the Google search engine? This... sucks. I have tried to leave Google behind, but it's remained the most functional search engine. Not as good as it once was, but still providing an easier way to find what I want than its competitors.

Okay but what does it mean that every time I eat almonds I start coughing and have trouble breathing

Also this is the first of many times Star Trek taught me that gender is a construct as a kid.

Top 10 Star Trek moment of all time

I won two screenplay comps in 2023 with a pilot where this happens so I guess it’s time to dust it off with a new draft.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Got a “hey you up?” text at 8:24pm on a Saturday night but I’m an old lady so I was not up.

Sy Ableman??

TENDER IS THE FLESH is the greatest horror novel of the 21st century

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

I lived near Spring Lake in this era and do not remember this place

it makes me sad when i see trans people talk about how they hate being trans. while it's been tough and made my life harder in ways, it's also been one of the biggest blessings in my life. the perspective on life i have, people i know, and who i am are informed by me being trans

Look Is the statement Trump put out that names groups that are pro-transgender as terrorists that the government "will kill" awful and horrifying? Yes. But also they've said some variant of this shit at least once or twice a year for ages now. Please don't fall into a doom hole about this one.

The best part about being a trans woman that nobody ever tells you is that when a date goes badly you get to say, “I can’t believe I shaved my legs for this”

News used to be better

IN THEATERS? my god you are never going to shut me up about this

My office brews a pretty decent drip coffee from freshly-ground beans in addition to having a $20k espresso machine so my blood pressure almost killed me when they added a keurig this morning and a coworker said “Finally we have real coffee here”

RIP freud. you would’ve loved whatever this is.

ALIKE IN DIGNITY

Love this beat in Star Trek where Khan whacks a guy so hard he blows the crotch out of his pants

The fact that this phrase is SO CONSISTENTLY weaponized against queer artists to accuse us of homophobia for telling our own stories should be a heads up that it's really not useful to The Cause anymore, if indeed it ever was.

What more does this man have to do before his mind can be described as "twisted"
