People of color and queer people aren't ruining your favorite things. Capitalism, AI, and illiterate bigots are ruining your favorite things.

Remember that folks in the UK can’t speak their honest feelings because she can (and does) immediately use her country’s legal system surrounding defamation to threaten them into silence, so we have to be twice as vocal for them: JK Rowling’s a hateful, bigoted, and transphobic disgrace to society.

I'm actually fairly heartened to see in normie spaces people talking about JK Rowling honestly and describing her as a motivated bigot that funnels profits into hate crimes. I saw a writer from Variety making it very clear HP funds her hate. It feels like the tide is making a significant turn.

In the last six weeks, Fox News has devoted over 13 hours of their programming to the WNBA in an attempt to tie the league to the right-wing culture wars. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

THIS is why Marvel's She-Hulk was DOOMED from the word go, because the CG budget for rendering the character was SO exorbitant it wasn't financially viable to have her casually appear in other projects, Daredevil can pop up for a quick cameo She-Hulk is too expensive

Think we’ve hit the point where live action superhero shows are trying so hard to look like movies that they have forgotten that they are tv shows on streaming services with No Way to Make Money Consistently. You wanna make this shit it gotta look like Smallville again

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

TBH something about the casual usage of the terms “Woke 1” and “Woke 2” mildly pisses me off when you consider its origins in Black vernacular VS what it became perverted into by *checks notes* White people with deep rooted issues.

When the woman who made the fucking *Matrix* can't get funding for a project because the queerness scares the VC horses, you know we're all fucked Support trans creators. Publish trans books. Visibility STILL MATTERS

Warner Bros. confirmed in a recent earnings report that a "second installment" for Hogwarts Legacy is in the works, but no details were provided on what the game will look like or when it might be released. https://bit.ly/4ge7dZx

You think Rob Liefeld and Ken Penders ever learned about one another and smugly thought “glad I’m not that guy”?

There was genuinely no way for us to know! It was even published in the NYTimes! It would have taken a ton of digging and original reporting for us to have individually fact checked it. So in this case I’d say it wasn’t one of those situations where we ran with something we shouldn’t have.

ICYMI, the Dobby grave story was completely fake. Like, just, totally not true in any way.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov please pay attention. You HAVE to keep this dangerous tech out of our schools. Please declare a full "A.i." moratorium on 2K-12 for students and teachers NOW.
