we'll know more soon but we know for a fact that trump, the gop, and fox news have described immigrants as "animals" "thugs" "rapists" and murderers and used the most dehumanizing language possible against them. and they've said this repeatedly to a receptive audience that can easily acquire guns.

After an ocean of offensively simplistic reporting that makes it sound like a vast conspiracy has been uncovered, here is a response from the man who actually discovered the SRY gene.

Satan didn't kill Han Solo, but reylos didn't warmly welcome Harvey Kissinger to their Star Wars academic analysis book launch party

like ffs disney adults were able to put pressure on disney for jimmy kimmel/free speech in under a week! imagine what you could do if you stop punching sideways and down at women and nonbinary writers who don't make jkr a dime to begin with 🙃

Can we just agree that people write fanfiction for many reasons: Because of IP to spite IP sometimes just to make the story in your head happen with established characters. But also that fanfic writers turned authors are just trying to survive because of capitalism they're not exactly the big banks

You think the fine writers of A03 don't know this? They will absolutely be rooting for it.

I need you all to know that real world bad guys don't like fictional ones 90% of the time, there's no normalizing them when most of the worst people out there actually think they're Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

Or like, when people say “lol Lucas was COOKING with Phantom Menace!” in 2025 BABYGIRL, NUTE GUNRAY IS LITERALLY NEWT GINGRICH. LUCAS MADE PHANTOM MENACE AS A MODERN CRITIQUE AT👏🏾THE👏🏾TIME👏🏾

Hawt. Predator Badlands is going to be fascinating, that's for sure. #predatorbadlands

Grogu trying to force choke Cara Dune like he has a Dark side, and then it's just never brought up or explored again, growing close to Bo-Katan a mother figure, and Grogu and Din just run off again.

Maybe it's too early in the morning, the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer didn't make me feel anything. It's lacking an emotional hook. I feel like they needed to show Din's face, if they want me to feel "shit is for real" right now. It doesn't feel like the film has any stakes.

The notion of outsourcing your sins is so strange to me, because you are in essence saying that you can trick your God, and they won't notice.

The correct "answer" to autism is actually to just stop mistreating us. We deserve to exist as we are, damnit. I became the most harmonious version of myself when I stopped letting people try to control my autism out of me.

lotta people don't seem to know about how some evangelicals quite literally describe their ideal marital relationship as "grooming your wife"

I have been saying this for several years now: this is ultimately about the right and freedom of all of us to own our own bodies and destinies. Under Xtian extremism, women and children have no rights to themselves, under Techbro fantasies all are serfs to overlords who enslave us.

I must have missed the news where the author, writers, actors, and everyone involved in things like Game of Thrones, Euphoria, millions of other works etc. were all jailed 🤔🤔🤔

Anyways, who wants to here about what happened with the Knights of Ren before TROS? I made a little video covering the basics on youtube. If I sound a little weird, I've been congested all morning. But I've got to talk about Kylo Ren, ya know. #kyloren #bensolo #reylo youtu.be/gce81xX_2J4?...

This isn't even a new thing. I've known women who's husbands "came out" as Republicans since the 90s. What's gross is the families of the guys that keep up the charade so they can get their sons married A lot of ppl believe their daughter-in-law can be persuaded to change her beliefs.

I think about the Parable of the Long Spoons, and how Covid showed that Americans would truly just starve themselves to death rather than mutually feed each other.

Postponing the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer to release during the Rapture is a wild choice by Lucasfilm.

I am still laughing at this unhinged Predator Badlands post I found on Tumblr yesterday. They are doing "minor coded" absurdities over a made up alien monster in a movie that has not even come out yet.

I will say it's kinda funny how one of the Mandalorian discourses for season 3 was that Din somehow had less air time (he didn't), or was "reduced" for the romantic hinting with Bo-Katan just being there. He got the discourse normally reserved for female characters.

Absolutely wild how many antis are in the Predator fandom, the film franchise where big aliens kill lots of people with gore aplenty. I already saw a bunch of Tumblr "call outs" against a fic writer for having the audacity to write a Predator fic. The craziest part is its based on fancanon.

Lots of ahistorical reporting about the Kimmel/FCC/ABC/affiliate conflicts. In the 1960s and 1970s hundreds of local stations frequently blocked network shows that featured Black characters or acts. Even the Jackson 5 cartoon show was replaced with The Osmonds in much of the South.

The thing I learned over the last couple of days: Disney doesn’t actually own the stations that air ABC broadcasts. A cabal of conservative media companies that own every ABC affiliate are refusing to air anything they think is critical of Trump. It seems insane that they could refuse to air shows.

It’s incredible how these smug consultants present themselves as the reasonable adults with all the answers when for the most part they haven’t backed a single winning candidate in generations, if ever. They clearly don’t know how to win an election, so why the fuck should anyone listen to them?

And you just know, that there will be no pushback, no one asking him, "Why did you say that?" Why should anyone be expected to accept a cavalier, breezily spoken apology, when the heinous comment was said just as breezily and cavalierly?

I can't wait for this to be a major ship on Tumblr, no matter how the story turns out. The gifs will be immaculate. Predator Badlands is gonna bring out the shippers in a big way, and I love it. #thiadek

They all look so pretty 10/10, just a gorgeous pair. 😍 From new SFX magazine. #predatorbadlands

Folks with Kaiser Permanente!

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

He wasn't even interesting. He was just another conservative spouting the usual boilerplate stuff they've been saying for decades, and making a career off sea lioning. Journalists are projecting some kind of iconoclastic centrist wish fulfillment character on him and it's bizarre.

I think it’s actually quite easy to take advantage of an embarrassingly large number of Americans just by saying anything you want very politely. It’s pretty depressing.

IMO if your nervous system’s standard for civility is “is speaking in a calm voice”, you’re too naive to make it in the real world.

A calm, affable, cheerful white man can be a drug to way too many people. He can rape a 5 year old child and they will turn on the child to support him. He can discuss killing people as a solution to problems, and they will call him their best friend.

anti-shippers are both a symptom of and a contributory to the hysterical moral policing that's currently leading to the demise of our democracy and everything else that we value as a society, so maybe just sit down and learn to understand that FICTION IS OKAY, YOU WEIRDO FASCIST BABIES

Thought you might appreciate this stunning photo. The bird is a Roseate Spoonbill in flight.

“You will be able to upload your mind into a custom designed, immortal body. You may have a body that can swim through the Marianis Trench, live unaided on Mars, or see in colors we can’t name!” “How about one with boobs?” “Ech! No! That’s *impossible*!”

There are two online spaces that have spawned some of the most violent people and they are 4chan and it's derivatives, and Lesswrong. The various 4chan troll groups have given us Groypers, and Lesswrong has given us "dark enlightenment" YarvinThiel cults.

It reminds me of when they called him on 9-11, like the day of, to ask him how bad things were. And he started talking about how his building was taller now because the towers were gone or something.

I mean, he didn't even mourn Ivana, I don't know why they bother asking.

oh well, onward and upward

"find Jesus" Nancy, he was raised in Christianity.

fbi puts another one in the books. closing the case the way most crime is solved: someone calls and tells them who did it.

Anyways, just reposting this. The US government killed 11 people in a Venezuelan boat just to brag about it.

Thinking about how The Acolyte gave us the greatest lightsaber duel of all time and people still hated on it cause people of color played the main characters. Like how can you not admit that this was coolest duel ever?!
