Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Playing Smash when your Friends are better

We’re only on this planet for a short time, and if you only ever focus on some type of winning, it’s gonna be a shitty short time.

Hollow Knights trans now

The Dutch equivalent of Cass, (except it’s a proper scientific review not pseudoscientific drivel like Cass) has wholeheartedly endorsed puberty-blockers and full gender affirming care for young trans people.

Landmark Official Dutch Review Recommends Trans Youth Care, Call For Expanding Treatment

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

We all have to post as hard as possible about Lindsey Graham's death so we can see who wins by getting cited in an article in the Atlantic about how Bluesky is destroying the fabric of American politics next week.

Just got to announce to a crowd of people at Live Band Emo Karaoke that Lindsay Graham died and gotta say: Excellent feeling

RIP bonnie tyler. lotta folks tonight are gonna learn the extent to which 'total eclipse of the heart' is outside their karaoke range

New Working Through the Backlog out! Sorry for the week off, got busy, but we’re back! This week, got a bit personal and talked a bit about why I rarely replay video games. Come check it out! working-through-the-backlog.ghost.io/i-dont-repla...

I Don't Replay Games

If I’m spending my time replaying a game I already own, how the hell am I supposed to play a different game I’ve never played before? That math just doesn’t work out.

Happy 4th of July

My grandpa had a bunch of weird principles that he held with absolute conviction. One of the more amusing was that he refused to refer to people by any rank or title they held once they were out of military or political life. He felt it threatened citizenship as a concept

The fun thing about being a sports fan who’s friends with a lot of non-sports fans is you get a certain amount of people who now just use Go Bills as a sort of standard greeting/interaction with me regardless of what the Bills are doing right now.

If you are trans and are raising money for your own needs, post the link below and I will share. If you are cis, choose one to donate to and share this thread.

Ngl watching Serena Williams at 44 both play very well and also clearly have some “I’m too old to run after that ball” moments was deeply entertaining. Also I’m just glad she still competed fairly well all things considered.

Actively annoyed by seeing some AI people smugly agree with each other that the reason we hate their shitty technology is that we resent it "lowering the barriers to entry" for the arts, which apparently the world of software development has always done.

A Fathers Day Working Through The Backlog! Does it have anything to do with fathers? Not really! Talking about Superbosses, experience based leveling, and how effort in games is rewarded (or not rewarded)! Check it out here! working-through-the-backlog.ghost.io/the-superbos...

woke up this morning with the phrase, "Ork pronouns, 'e / 'em" stuck in my brain so there you all go

Shoutout @aabria.bsky.social for the Any Given Sunday reference in the CR cooldown. That plus the Sexy Dexy reference in an earlier episode, I see your football references. I see you and I appreciate you.

The “secret” about Backrooms is that it’s just a good movie, by any yardstick. The way to replicate its success is to support & develop young writers & directors. And to give me a modest 5 million dollars to make my movie.

Hollywood agencies are searching Reddit for short stories and ideas that could be turned into movies following the success of 'Backrooms' (via THR)

EDELGARD WAS RIGHT

the main problem with video as a format is that it's too slow at dispensing information. I can read much faster than you can talk and there's no way you can address this without becoming incomprehensible to most of the audience.

There will be no Working Through the Backlog this week on account of 1. I’m in a Hollywood Fringe Show that just opened so. Busy week. 2. It’s WeHo pride 3. SGF just happened and I wasn’t there so like. Go read all that stuff

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.
