ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS! I have made the decision to appoint Armus as my new Chief of Staff. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT Gul Dukat #StarTrek #Sisko197

I am, in fact, not yet tired of winning.

(I'm still mostly on a social media hiatus, but exceptions must be made, such as "eat approximately all of the shit, Republicans" commentary)

I can’t. This is too much shadenfreude for one person to experience in a 24 hr period.

MISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.

Seen a lot of people responding to this with “I’m just going to pirate the show,” and I want to gently remind everyone that the central idea in this piece is that there’s no way to engage with the Potter franchise in any capacity that doesn’t benefit Rowling and her bigotry

The Verge@theverge.com · 2mo ago

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

if you watch it you tell WB to keep making more Potter stuff and you show them that directly funding JKR’s transphobia, that she LITERALLY uses to strip trans women’s rights away, is not a dealbreaker how could i ever feel safe around someone who buys her the boots she uses to step on my neck?

I genuinely am begging people not to watch the new HP show. Like, also don't buy any branded stuff - she makes money off all that. But especially don't watch the damn show.

I have come to the conclusion that COYOTE VS ACME must get an Adapted Screenplay nomination.

PERFECT MOVIE. MUCH DELIGHT. NO NOTES.

this week is astonishingly homophobic. it's like anti-pride.

It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives

I keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

*gently grabs your face* listen to me LISTEN TO ME y'all need to start buying the rights to Horror books written by women instead of trolling Reddit for scraps of creepypasta. There are SO MANY BOOKS that would make great movies just sitting there, complete with PLOTS and THEMES and CHARACTER ARCS.

i’m sorry but ‘literally died of hard heartedness’ is the most hack writing yet in an already weak season

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

I don’t know if this was always true, but it’s definitely true now The new Star Treks are a good example. Newcomers are more engaged on the level of “is this story compelling?” and the hard core have their first filter set at “does this even APPEAR to violate canon?”

For a long time I thought that heavily involved fans of a thing like the same thing about it that casual viewers do, they just like it more. Now I think that fans like a thing in an entirely different way, and casual viewers often don’t care at all about the things the fans find essential.

Between the box office performance of Obsession and Backrooms (as well as several other recent films), it feels like something about American moviegoing tastes and habits are shifting very quickly in a way for which most of the people with the money to finance movies are completely unprepared.
