Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Yeah, the idea of “nerdy” spaces being made for a particular type of white guy is due to constant and vigorous policing of who gets to belong. It’s why outrage at seeing Black women in particular, but marginalized people in general, in Marvel movies & games is such an effective vector for the right.

The Ellisons are doomed to fail because they’re in so much debt that they can only make mega-hits but they’re also going to insist that all of these movies be devoid of woke and play to Middle America and that’s just completely unsustainable

I would advise people not to talk to USA Today for any reason, about anything ever, based on this thread. It's bad enough that the whole profession is circling the drain, but for a remaining publication to feed interviews into a slopifier without telling sources? When it's about SA? I just.. 🌋

USA Today’s online ethics policy explicitly allows for entirely AI-generated content, as long as a reporter reads it. I don’t trust that any of the reporters who used my interview this way have ever written a single word.
