I gotta say I still have all the doom scroll stuff on bluesky but I've been able to offset it by following artists and other rpg and comics enthusiasts and it has actually managed to influence and enrich my real life in unexpected positive ways and I'm grateful for that.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

So that's an F-15 and an A-10 down in fairly short order. Shouldn't be super surprising, I think this is what anyone who paid attention expected. The administration seems pretty blindsided by it though.

Today's anti-trans Supreme Court ruling is an example of what we call gender fascism. Nothing is more dangerous to young people than forcing them into roles that don't fit their needs. Legislation and state violence wouldn't be necessary to impose these norms if the norms were really “natural.”
