this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

Trying to win an award from the Hollywood Foreign Press, which is simultaneously three separate things he has built his career on hating.

if dems win congress next year they need to introduce an impeachment resolution against emil bove

This thread. I think it's incredibly important to remember that the TERF fragility/rabidity started to take off right around the height of me too, and the main message they had was "men are inherently violent." They targeted trans WOMEN, while at the same time excusing actual violence from cis men.

Men are not inherently violent; some men have learned they can get away with anything because of permissive power structures, and they proceed to do so. The issue is with permissive power structures.

Seriously - if any of your social media companies informs you that stuff from your accounts has been turned over in compliance with a federal grand jury subpoena, SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY and stay shut up until you consult an attorney. Who will also tell you to stfu, but professionally.

Trump is a piece of shit and his supporters like him because they are pieces of shit.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

The man is actually going to order paramilitary forces to raid churches on Christmas Eve so he can drag worshippers away from the altar but sure, Republicans, tell me he isn't literally the Antichrist.

This is not a bad thing or sneaky or anything that Bluesky has ever attempted to conceal - the point here isn’t that Bluesky is at fault, it’s that you shouldn’t say dumb shit on the public Internet.

Trump Imposes 100% Tax On Movies Where Slaves Escape

don't reskeet book excerpts from terrible people, even to dunk on them or to hate-read. You give prestige magazines clicks, and you encourage them to do this crap more. Encourage terrible people to go to What Ever Happened To?? land

The bar is in hell BUT IT CAN STILL GET LOWER. Beginning to understand, in new ways, why Dante needed nine levels

I want Guillermo del Toro to direct a Muppet movie. I think Guillermo del Toro would make a really good Muppet movie.

For comparison, the interest (~$52 million) is nearly double the annual budget (~$29 million) of Lane Tech, the city's largest selective enrollment high school (around 4600 students). It's top 3 school in the state, top 75 nationally. Just the interest could provide that for another 7500 students.

I think the reason romantasy is dwarfing sales of fantasy & sci-fi is that it's a subset of romance. And romance is the biggest, most profitable category in literature. Romantasy allowed romance readers, who read very widely, to take cross-genre romance mainstream & it's reaping the rewards.

PT Barnum was born too soon

I just want to go out and say that my fiction isn't a roman-a-clef of my affair with one of the worst human beings in the world. I wouldn't ever sleep with one of the worst human beings in the world. Buy books that aren't roman-a-clefs of having sex with one of the worst human beings in the world.

Why, it's almost like having rich people paying their fare share is good for everyone!

You'd look great, imo. But hey, maybe you need the pendant! www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

I remember a time where all the guardrails we had in place were not only there but we knew why not to remove them. Widespread gambling, liquor commercials, even prescription drugs used to not be able to be advertised. It's taking almost no time to learn AGAIN why they were banned.

Several years ago I told students in my Electrodynamics class that they could make a final exam formula sheet using "one side of a piece of paper." Needless to say, the instructions now specify that the surface must be orientable. 🧪 ⚛️

I think the universities didn’t convey clearly enough to Larry Summers and Laurence Krauss that they were expected to get sexual harassment PREVENTION training

Never tell me that Dick Dastardly style mustache twirlers in fiction are unrealistic ever again. Someone called this vice signaling and… *sigh* yeah.

I wish I believed that they are doing this because they find Summers's behavior unacceptable, but it's probably because they're afraid it will draw demonstrators.

Don't do any of this.

Somehow, Ursula just seems to attract dudes who want to argue but aren't very good at it, and who want to make sure everyone knows

Also, when you’ve gone to this much trouble to post everywhere how Joyce made a typo, maybe double-check your own posts to make sure you didn’t write “with with”?

Buddy, if you wanna try to grammar Nazi Joyce Carol Oates as a gotcha, that’s between you and your god, but searching for posts about it to post this is the saddest thing I’ve seen all day, and that includes reading about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

all i'm saying is there are market research companies other than Himmler, Himmler & Göring

Ah I dunno about this because if you asked me to pick a guy who eats a human liver every day I'd pick this one

the number of people on here who don't seem to understand that governments apply rules to people, not the other way around is kinda wild considering how many of those same people regularly declare that this is a fascist regime, like it shouldnt be possible to not process both these simultaneously

TFW you find a great, fascinating, deep-dive vid on current events that genuinely opens your eyes on a subject, and you're about to link it, but then the creator drops in like 4 minutes of genAI interstitials oh well

Also a reminder to support Wikipedia. It may not be perfect, but by the gods it is *aeons* better than the enshittified corporate owned profit driven advertising spam AI infested internet. (I may be in a Mood tonight)

none of these people are "hard" they're the softest losers around who like to posture by going after the targets least able to defend themselves, this is literally the schoolyard bully who wanted to be considered a badass because he spent the lunch break torturing butterflies

this is a really good point

always good to compare your product to… tobacco. one of the mostly deadly substances in history.

mamdani is a no go, but marjorie taylor greene the transphobic, racist, homophobic antisemite bigot - they have room for her, they got room for nazi tattoo guy. no room for you though.

The Dems aren’t “here” because the tent isn’t big enough. They’re here because they lack conviction. Mamdani’s platform won’t win in every election, but conviction will.

NEW: Avelo’s ICE flights have been a fiasco, internal documents show. Serious safety lapses, poor planning, mechanical issues, an emergency landing — and they’re not even making as much money as they hoped they would. From me for @prospect.org: prospect.org/2025/11/17/i...

Hey the Nazis did this to my grandparents so this sounds cool @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
