I've heard lots of good jokes about trans people...generally from and by trans people. The key thing is those jokes are based in actual knowledge about the trans experience and foibles of daily life as opposed to mean-spirited, ignorant and boring attempts to join a moral panic.

Marlon Wayans on having a trans son and Dave Chappelle as a best friend: “Dave wants to freely tell his jokes, and if you’re going to be anti-comedy, then he’s going to keep attacking you until you learn to have a sense of humor.” variety.com/2026/film/fe...

functionally most of the people who are on bluesky are on bluesky either because they are progressive political folks or because they are targets of the nazis who run rampant on twitter there’s no level of movie talk or sports talk that can make the background radiation there tolerable for us

My personal experience on X right now is that if you post anything progressive that achieves even the slightest virality you WILL be swarmed with bots, Nazis, and Nazi-bots, and while Bluesky can be VERY toxic the toxicity is nothing like X’s constant background radiation.

I detail cars for a living so I have access to all the calories I need for lunch every day which is how I was able to afford a half million dollar starter home. This is the kind of out of the box thinking Gen Z isn’t capable of.

I see discourse everyday on the addictive nature of gambling apps and how destructive they are but my entire YouTube ads algorithm is nothing but people opening packs of Pokémon cards hoping to hit big then resell on auction sites and we’re not taking it seriously as the gambling epidemic it is.

“do you have the temperament to go through the federal government with a holy sword and cleanse it of evil” is basically the primary characteristic we need in the 2028 nominee whoever it is may or may not be able to do enough to forestall a snapback in 2032 but another moderate definitely won’t

I believe it boiled down to a personality thing. Biden is a characterological centrist, moderate, Institution Respecter type guy, and they generally do not have the stomach to do what is necessary to take on a threat like Trump. so they pretend it isn't happening bsky.app/profile/thor...

if you put "I hate trans people" above your own material well-being and global stability, man, you are a complete waste of oxygen

I've said it before but no harm in another: I worked on this one for a long time, I'm REALLY proud of how it came out and I'm happy people are still finding it 🙏

Finally watched this video tonight from @bobchipman.bsky.social and it is fantastic. As a person who was ridiculous enough to bet their ability to eat on selling funny books, the story of William Boyd here rings true. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Kc...

harry potter is the easiest case of being unable to separate the art from the artist that we have and obviously you should not be giving jk rowling your money or your eyeballs there is a vast quantity of entertainment out there where your money won’t go directly to hurting your trans friends
