The reason Harry Potter Adults are so bad is because for a long time there were totally normal Harry Potter Adults who did things like use their fandom to raise money for charity but then Joanne went absolute horses and all the normal adults ditched the fandom so the only ones left are total ghouls.

A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

Reminder that in August of last year Trump fired the person tasked with releasing jobs reports because the report was bad, and replaced her with a stooge. Now the stooge releases job reports that are "surprisingly great!" and they're just reported as fact with no context.

AP article from August 1 2025: President Donald Trump on Friday removed the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures after a report showed hiring slowed in July and was much weaker in May and June than previously reported. Trump, in a post on his social media platform, alleged that the figures were manipulated for political reasons and said that Erika McEntarfer, the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, should be fired. He provided no evidence for the charge. “I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump said on Truth Social. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.” Trump later posted: “In my opinion, today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.”WaPo headline: U.S. employers added 172,000 jobs in May, an unexpectedly strong showing

Last night was my 5th time Springsteen show and was honestly surprised at how emotional I got. After all of yesterday, being in an arena full of people channeling anger and frustration into joy was magical. Also, @brucespringsteen.net rocked as hard as I’ve ever seen him & Tom Morello just shreds!

I think people who are not cyclists do not quite understand how often those of us who bike are told that we deserve to die because we have chosen a mode of transit that isn't a car

I tried to explain to somebody about why sometimes people on bikes do things drivers might not understand in order to ensure our own survival and was informed that we are not actually entitled to survival. Which felt kind of aggressive. #BikeSky

This was, in fact, an amazing evening. My @sparksofficial.bsky.social records have been getting worn out since we got back. Always great to see @edgarwright.bsky.social , as well!

First up in my Oscar’s themed eating and drinking tonight (fair warning, some of these will be VERY stupid): a Ginger Menace cocktail from Conan’s podcast, featuring an Orange pompadour garnish.

A cocktail in a Casablanca themed rock glass, with an orange wheel twisted to look like Conan O’Brien’s hair skewered to a pewter skull pick.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports
