1. Anti-trans Democrat Seth Moulton just lost his Senate primary in a LANDSLIDE to outspoken trans ally Ed Markey. To Moulton, trans kids were a liability the Democratic Party needed to abandon. But to Massachusetts voters, the only liabilities are Democrats like him.

Part of what's amazing about this is that the actual (though bullshit) argument against food safety was that it inflated costs, and they've managed to gut food safety and increase costs at the same time, showing why that argument was/is bullshit.

It’s pretty ironic that Trump and RFK’s mismanagement of food safety systems and still-high grocery prices may be spurring more Americans into eating vegetarian meals than before (well, except for lettuce)

Look, The New York Times can't report on *everything* Yes, yes, this Republican congressman urged a military-backed coup to overthrow an election. But did you know that a gubernatorial candidate said she didn't like Thanksgiving? You can't cover it all. It's all about priorities, people.

Rep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵

I made dinner for a man who abused me more times than I can count thinking I could fix things. It never stopped the abuse. It created the expectation that he could do whatever he wanted and then be fed. Max Miller is trash. If the GOP won’t say it, I will.

"There was a part of me that was really hopeful we were gonna get a third one. Just to-three seasons! It's not asking for a lot. Execs want shows that last a lot of time so they can keep investing and making money, but they're not really putting in the investment so that these shows can last."

These Thems' Vico Ortiz and Gretchen Wylder Talk Industry Obstacles to Making Queer

QUEER"So many cancellations have been happening, it's pretty chaotic. The energy was very different to what it is now, and it hasn't even been a full year. Right before the strikes happened, there was a pretty energized feeling. People are taking pitches. There's all these new streaming platforms and they're looking for more content.
There was a lot of energy around queer and marginalized creators," they say, adding: "You want to get your projects attached to a studio or to a streamer because they'll give you visibility and give you the funding, which is very exciting, but then on the other hand there's a high chance they'l give you notes—notes by predominantly older white cis / het men-that will little by little change the nature of your project to make it more 'palatable! I'm also noticing that a lot of people who ran diversity programs in most of the big studios are getting fired which is incredibly disappointing. These are folks who were championing new and different stories. And now, instead, the big studios are playing it safe with remakes. They think that's what's gonna make them more money, instead of investing in the things that people really wanna watch.""It's no surprise that the strikes happened when there's been the most diversity and inclusion in writers' rooms, directors, and actors. When it was just white cishet men, they were making bank. Then the second they started hiring more diverse folks that dramatically changed, so now we were like, 'Excuse you?'" Ortiz says, and Wylder then chimes in echoing the reality they're still facing: "Queer stories are either getting greenlit and then dropped or not getting support... Or removed from the platform altogether! So even after working so hard on the project, the folks aren't even able to see the fruits of their labor.""I had a feeling that the second season was gonna be our last one when we wrapped just because of the climate in which we were in. So when Max really began to push the second season, I was pleasantly surprised," they say.
"There was a part of me that was really hopeful we were gonna get a third one. Just to-three seasons! It's not asking for a lot. Execs want shows that last a lot of time so they can keep investing and making money, but they're not really putting in the investment so that these shows can last."
"Creators are forced to envision shows that just last three seasons, and sometimes even just one.
If you can just get one. I'm seeing so many limited series now," Ortiz says. They elaborate:
"And it's a bummer, because you wanna create stuff that keeps on giving. How do you create cliffhangers? How do you create that desire to keep watching? It's a bummer that we've had to operate in this kind of limited space rather than an abundance of storylines, because there is so much. I mean, the human experience is abundant."

When people think you like heated rivalry because it’s “two hot guys” like no if you think that I fear you don’t get it and never will because their looks have absolutely nothing to do with how beautiful their story is or how much love and appreciation was put into making it

The CDC is so underfunded now that it's like: "Just remove the three outer layers of lettuce, so you don't consume any feces, then wash each interior leaf individually, so you remove any hidden feces. Good luck!"
