There they go again, making the left sound way cooler than it actually is.

Sinclair holds the ABC affiliate in my market, so they've decided what I am and am not allowed to watch. I'm going to watch their local news hour tomorrow, make a list of sponsors, and make some calls.

google has been trying for months to build a new data center not far from my house. tonight was the final city council meeting and they officially withdrew their proposal! the data center isn’t moving forward! public outrage works!!!

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

The regime has been overextending itself for a while, now. But now that it has openly DEMONSTRATED that weakness, I think we are going to be seeing a lot of folks suddenly growing a spine

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

I don’t have a lot of NSFW art I’ve drawn, and don’t have the time or tools right now to produce much, but damn I wish I did so I had a middle finger to contribute to @bsky.app recent moderation decisions

This is so sweet!

What movie do you consider 'perfect'?

If you are grieving this hate merchant today, you are every conman’s mark. I can guarantee that you will find yourself forever bewildered at how everyone you’re surrounded with takes advantage of you. But don’t worry, at least you hate the same people, which makes it all okay, doesn’t it?

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

Microsoft Word is increasingly awful, expensive, and now won’t let you uninstall AI. Google Docs is bad. I need a good word processor with robust support for styles, a good spellcheck, and ideally works on both PC and iPad.

No particular reason

I don’t really want to read new RPG books. I don’t really want to read old RPG books. I want reading ROG books to feel like it did when I was 15.

If you cancel your Disney+ subscription and leave a comment about why, that makes a statement. If you want to take the next step, send an angry letter detailing everything Disney has done wrong to: Disney and ABC Home Entertainment Division 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

...dear Dem politicians & pundits, 1) the sports debate was never a serious issue, it was merely a wedge to launder in anti-trans policies (see: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...), 2) they are now going after trans ppl's *rights to exist* – that's where the battle is now! take a side in that!

It’s not like they weren’t warned over and over and over again for years. White supremacists infiltrating law enforcement agencies has been a known problems SINCE THE NINETIES!

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Love that Harris’s takeaway from 2024 is “I just didn’t throw them under the bus hard enough! If I shove harder, they’ll understand I love them!”

Other people may have other experiences but I followed the instructions here and it took about three minutes, two of which were clicking 'other' on cancellation reason and typing my reason, and that I would return after a Kimmel reinstatement and apology. Super easy.

Inappropriately use quotation marks always look so ominous. Dare I ask what “ PNW” means when there are quotation marks around it?

KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE PILOT IS OUT NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Capitulation only emboldens them. Don’t give up an inch.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Happy Pride! To celebrate, the STWL has a sale running for this month only~ Get queer-lit books ranging up to full novels from several queer authors, including stories never before included in a sale (and some never before seen!) itch.io/b/3066/stwl-...

Tonight, RIFHT NOW, is a good time to go buy a few books or comics or films by trans people. Physically. And keep them safe for the next few years. And send a little support to trans folk if you can.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Amazing find in the Goodwill magazine section today…

Taco Bell says trans rights!

This is what the “smart home” push was always going to turn into.

go read this. this is the tonic you need right now. at least it's been for us. it feels like a love letter to so many different things, and it's one of those books where you can tell the writer is having as much fun writing as you are reading.

Remember a week before Charlie Kirk was shot, how the right was threatening a civil war and mass killings over the Cracker Barrel logo changing? I think maybe they just want to do mass killings, and don’t particularly care about Charlie Kirk or Cracker Barrel.

I have a new theory. The Final Girl in traditional horror movies pretty much always: -has to be more responsible than her age. -doesn’t want to have sex even though she’s clearly horny. -doesn’t use mind-altering substances around others. Final girl = Stealth trans girls?

New wave of Tinder ads is depicting heterosexuality as body horror and feels just a little too spot-on

“TEMU GOEBBELS” 🤣

The thing about fascist cults of personality is that they only SEEM like monolithic and unstoppable powerhouses, because that’s the fetish. Behind the curtain they’re rotting and hollowed out and every rat is fighting with every other rat for a bigger piece of cheese.

There's extremely few things you can actually do (as an individual consumer) to tell a major media conglomerate that they have fucked up. But this is one of them, so I'd advise you go through with it. Trust me, you can find episodes of Bluey elsewhere.

In lawyer circles, this era will be known as the golden age of employee lawsuits.

Equality Caucus Rep. Mark Takano calls on Speaker Johnson and GOP House leadership to reign in their party's extreme rhetoric in trans people per this statement that just hit my inbox:

She's quoting Hitler *again*

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. I don’t care what anyone says, this movie is Alex Baldwin’s greatest role!

Being trans in the US right now:

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

During GamerGate, when women were targeted with threats of violence and death, everyone from the local cops to Democratic congressmen insisted “it’s just the internet. There’s nothing we can do.” Now come to find out that when you accurately quote a white man… well then they can do something.

They HAVE to punish anyone who actually quotes Charlie Kirk. The real Kirk—the racist, misogynist, homophobic hate-monger—that Kirk gets in the way of the Martyr Kirk they need to hang their persecution complex on. “We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor.”
