It was for "Jim Henson was generally a good man who was unfaithful to his wife" not "author who is funding a genocide of trans people"

Learning Neil Gaiman got Epstein-level charges on his head was like a 10x bigger shock to me than Rowling’s descent into madness. I really love his copy of Norse Mythology/The Graveyard Book but yeah man, I’m done giving him my money or attention for the foreseeable

Separating the art from the artist is having owned all the Harry Potter books since like 2007 and being able to watch order of the phoenix with my mom because she wants to and we own the movie. Anything beyond this is appeasing a sad old bigot

Separating the art from the artist is still crying over one particular Neil Gaiman story, which is staying on my shelf because of that, but never buying anything new from him again, really (whis might be less hard than it might have been given my opinions on "ocean at the end the lane"...)

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

also a line of retrospective thought from the pre-Internet era when we didn’t know how abhorrent people were until 50 years into their career. it’s a phrase to use for watching Hitchcock movies!

One of the excluded systematic reviews is the York systematic reviews commissioned as part of the Cass Review itself. NHS England excluded from its evidence review a systematic review produced for the very process this evidence review is supposed to implement. It's a joke.

This is also why art is important. I learned about the Troubles because of the Cranberries song Zombie. I was only six or seven at the time, but it was such a powerful and terrifying song and music video that I asked my family what it was about. They told me as best they could.

Israel hasn't just carried out a live-streamed genocide in Gaza for over two years: it's also attacked numerous other countries. Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Qatar, and Yemen are all FIFA members.

No, effeminate boys aren’t being ‘transed’ | Xtra Magazine Hiding my transness nearly killed me. Let’s work to build a world where trans people’s lives aren’t quite so hard

A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...

I mean, I will give the filmmakers credit that using a translucent garbage bag to simulate a jelly fish on land is kind of clever.

The problem is that it looks (and very obviously IS) a translucent garbage bag and unless it's a grainy-ass 240p video on ancient Youtube, that's all anyone will think.

I can’t think of anything of value that has come from active NBA players podcasting, being active of social media or blogging.

The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

Found a dragon this time! And I'm plundering more than his treasure!

a woman says you had me worried there for a second in a netflix ad ALT: a woman says you had me worried there for a second in a netflix ad

Just got off the phone with my UBER ZIONIST Dad. The first thing he said was “These two stupid fuckers (Trump & Bibi). I swear to Christ. What a goddamned shitshow. God, I how hate them. FUCK”.

Whew.

This is why I’ve said time and time again that working in comics as a creator full time is unsustainable. My quality of life immediately improved when I got a full-time job and only took on comics/freelance projects I wanted to take on and not taking all jobs out of necessity.

The Dominican lineup is Hamas

Jonathan Greenblatt is going to call for sanctions against the entire sport

MLB on Fox on Twitter: Israel has been eliminated from WBC title contention after their loss to the Dominican Republic.

lol, tbh

AI-generated voice acting in video games should be absolutely unacceptable. The reason you are seeing it in MMOs and FPS games is because the target audience has been trained for decades to accept substandard product. Consumers deserve better than what they are currently getting.

If you refuse to criticize any sort of politician, I don’t value your opinion on anything. They all work for us and should be criticized regularly.

It’s not meant to be an easy job. It is literally life and death for so many people in this country.

I’m honestly not diminishing any deaths here but this is nowhere near what has been yelled from all the terrorist supporters and is also not a genocide.

Can someone explain.

What turned me off from Josh Shapiro wasn't his stand on Israel-Palestine, which is not good but also not Fetterman bad. It's that he embraced data centers.

From the NY Times interview with Jon Cowan from fucking Third Way. "Jon Cowan: Third Way is going to lead the effort in 2028 to help nominate someone who is more moderate and mainstream and defeat someone from the far left. We think that is the only way you beat whoever comes after Trump. And parties are ultimately defined and reoriented around their presidential nominees and their presidents. NYTimes: Can you preview for our readers what that could look like? Cowan: What it means, ultimately, is influencing all of the people who will run for president who are anywhere from the kind of mushy to more moderate. Not the lefties, but everybody else. Influencing them, and all the concentric circles around them. Not just their teams and their operatives, but all the key people in the early primary and presidential battleground states. People in media, on social media, etc. Creating a highly persuasive case that we market very widely throughout the Democratic Party, not just in Washington but around the country, so that people believe there is one way to win in ’28, and that is by nominating somebody who can win over that middle, and rejecting anybody from the far left. What that will involve is a large amount of public opinion research that makes our case, extensive convenings like this, a lot of work behind the scenes with all of the campaigns and their circles. We have built out a very extensive database that tracks everybody who might run for president who’s remotely in this space — none of the far-lefters, but everybody else — and all the circles around them. Their staff, their advisers, their funders, the key people who they know in their friends-and-family networks. We probably have the only database like that, of anybody in Democratic politics. NYT: Can I see it? Cowan: You cannot."

More lunacy, deception and/or brainlessness from Third Way's Jon Cowan: "Q: How do you define lefty versus moderate? Some of it is on policy. If you are for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, open borders, you’re a lefty. And those things will really haunt you in a general election. Who do you appeal to? What’s your brand and approach in politics? Are you more pragmatic? Do you have an unabashed love of the country? [Or] are you kind of hypercritical of America? Are you willing to pick a range of fights, not just the fights that are really safe and convenient? What’s your track record, also, with winning over swing voters? NYTimes: Who stands out to you so far as most willing to lean in on tough fights? Cowan: Josh Shapiro has had some pretty significant fights. Shapiro has been willing to take on the teachers’ unions in specific instances. Gavin Newsom is trying to defeat the billionaire’s tax. That’s a huge fight inside the Democratic Party, and that’s actually pretty gutsy of him. Ruben Gallego took some pretty strong stands on immigration. Obviously, Rahm [Emanuel] is the one who’s most unleashed right now. But there’s a range of folks."

Don't look now but fucking Third Way is back to pour millions of dollars into gaslighting everyone with centrist moderation fallacies www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

NEW: It's been more than a week since Israeli settlers murdered Nasrallah Abu Siyam, a Pennsylvania citizen, in the West Bank. So why hasn't Gov. Josh Shapiro said a word about his constituent's death? www.currentaffairs.org/news/josh-sh...
