Netflix can't "turn" your favorite cartoon characters gay. Your favorite cartoon characters were already gay. Netflix will give them the space to express themselves on their own terms.

Zero people should do war crimes. It is time for Congress to appoint a special prosecutor.

This was one of my favorite stories of this past year.

"Die Hard is a Christmas movie." "Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie." Well, I can promise you that my opinion, "this actually depends on how you define Christmas movie and there are a bunch of historical examples and references I can cite for us to have a fulfilling conversation," will annoy everyone

Henry Ford was a terrible human being, but at least he understood that the economy would be unworkable and unsustainable unless the workers who made Model T's were paid enough to buy Model T's.

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

Take a moment and think about the names that have been on your mind this year. What name feels new, or has changed, or somehow matters more? Like Barack in 2007, or Siri in 2011, or Karen in 2019? What's the 2025 Name of the Year? Please share your ideas (and this post, if you're inclined!)

If distributing SNAP funds is not as easy as hitting a button on a computer, the government ought to fix that & follow the law. We deserve a government run with functional technology.

but like, to bring things back to the real world, there are real people whose bodies are deadly weapons. they're called boxers. we don't imprison them or force them onto a registry.

Reminder to vote! Local elections affect schools, infrastructure, housing and whether your town is a garbage place or not. Please be nice to your poll workers, it's a long day for them. Tip your pole workers because sex work is work. But don't tip your poll worker cuz they can't take money. #vote
