my dream is to one day see Sam Alito’s seat filled with the wokest rainbow-haired trans lesbian puppygirl imaginable

Check, Please is very good - Gay Hockey before Gay Hockey was a thing. Lots of laughs, great art, compelling and well-written story and characters. If you aren''t buying right now, it's probably at your library! I recommend Check, Please , and I'll check out the others eventually. :)

Sorry to break the kayfabe, but too many people didn't realize that when Mr. Rogers was telling them they're special and worthy of kindness that he was simultaneously telling everyone else in the world the same thing. That's what you were supposed to get out of it. Not that only you matter.

I saw a post earlier saying I need to integrate AI into my workflow as an artist or I'll be left behind. Sure I've seen dozens of posts like this before, but I'm really seriously thinking about it now and I am at a total loss as to what it would possibly do to improve my work.

Fox News – 34% CNN — 28% Local newspapers — 19% TikTok — 18% Instagram — 18% X (formerly Twitter) — 14% [... omitting 11 other sources ...] Bluesky — 2% So what are y'all fighting each other about? What is it you hope to accomplish? 🧵

The ruins of my grandparents' home in Mijdrecht (NL), burned down by the Germans in 1944 in reprisal for local resistance activities. My grandfather barely escaped with his life. My father carried the trauma of that event in him the rest of his life.

100% this. People who are fully occupied with the minutia of regular life will unthinkingly adapt to incremental changes for the worse. They haven't done the work, so they can't tell the difference between a clear-eyed warning and a wild-eyed conspiracy theory.

The only purity problem here was people thinking they were too pure to ever be treated like the citizens their bigotry told them they were better than.

WATTERS & EL-SAYED. Watters: Do you think men should play women's sports? El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. It's insane. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports. It's silly. People can't take you seriously.

El-Sayed: You don't want to talk about gas prices. You don't want to talk about groceries....You want to bring up all this culture war

And that is why I think the rise of this type of AI and the pathological attempts to destroy the very idea of expertise are completely intertwined. These billionaire bros resent that other people have done the work to have skills & knowledge they can't have unfettered access to & want a short-cut.

We don't have to pretend that people harassing and insulting women athletes for lols care about women's rights! We don't have to meet them in the middle! We can back out of the framing and say no, this isn't what equality looks like, this isn't what dignity looks like, fuck all the way off.

the invention of national parks and fisheries you removed all the natives from, to protect the wildlife, is an excellent example of this we've lived here for a bajillion years and didn't run out of salmon, wolves, or eagles you blew shit up in less than 200y you know jack about ecology LAND BACK

Dear news media: The Muppets are grandfathered in. You can interview them, they are real, and any kayfabe are them being silly fellas. You can't "interview" Tillie Norwood. You are just letting con artists produce propaganda to funnel money into imaginary technology.
