I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

32,000 individual people ignored the idiotic voice that tells them "what I do by myself doesn't matter" and this happened.

Stop! Listening! To! That! Voice!

So I'm hearing some chatter about the Oscars cancelling the red carpet because of the war, but that strikes me as very stupid. This isn't 9/11 or the wildfires. If you act like this moment should be respected, you're granting it legitimacy. We shouldn't let the actions of the corrupt steal our joy

a local journalist should do a deep dive on exactly how this happened and interview some of the queer customers who now feel rightly unwelcome and stress that these people donated MONEY to this business under false pretenses. i want the owners ritualistically publicly shamed

1 Inquiry for New York Times Good afternoon, My name is [REDACTED] and l am a reporter for the New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it. With gratitude, [REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement Hello [REDACTED] We do not collaborate with The New York Times. Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours. The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable. So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it. Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

lmaooo GET EM

AI is good for coding and still can't write for shit. Makes you think about who the most highly skilled workers in the economy really were, doesn't it?

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

I'm sorry to remind everyone of the existence of hte worst magazine in America, but Kansas is literally taking away trans' people's driver's licenses, and the Atlantic has decided to publish a thumbsucker about whether effeminate boys are feeling pressured to transition

Okay if fucking Trump outlasts Bruce Campbell I'm fighting god barefoot in a Waffle House parking lot.

If you were OK with “Substack, the Nazi Bar,” maybe “Substack, a front for the gambling on life and death casino” might convince you.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Which came first, better or green? Whenever a newer “greener” technology is introduced, it’s the subject of political attacks. Opponents support their position with, well, gibberish. Slogans like “beautiful, clean coal” (coal is never clean or beautiful) or “clean natural gas” (it’s methane for goodness sake). The gibberish is just a disguise for emotional resistance to change.

At the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Minneapolis, they’re throwing out ICE whistles shaped like dicks.

It's where my wife and I met, on that front patio, back when it was Opal Divine's. I mean ...

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

Somebody should turn on the lights, literally and figuratively. Williamson, as many know, came onboard after two sets of directors departed the project. Along the way, Scream 7 became a source of controversy when Melissa Barrera, who had starred in the two previous entries, was fired over social-media posts critical of Israel in the wake of its invasion of Gaza. Soon thereafter, her co-star Jenna Ortega also left, and some organizations are now boycotting the release. But through it all, one thing remained clear: Scream 7, for whatever reason, had to be made. Think about this for a second. It didn’t matter if the directors bailed, if the stars were fired, if the script had to be completely redone and new actors and plotlines brought on. The film had to happen. Not because someone had a story to tell, or characters to develop, or ideas to explore, or a new twist to throw out there. No, there was simply a franchise to maintain and a title with a number that needed a movie with a release date. The first Scream skewered Hollywood cynicism. The latest embodies it.

I love it when @bilgeebiri.bsky.social goes for the jugular.

We've had a rough year, Dad.

we're approaching my favorite line in this movie (especially after, say, mid-2021) after which I will probably get very teary and then put the movie on again because of course I will, why I haven't I done that already this week

Tidal ... UI can be annoying but they pay artists well

Pouring one out for the ghosts of Louise Brooks, Billy Wilder, and every gorgeous chorine in every fab Warner Brothers pre-code musical, you and so many others built studios that don't deserve your legacy.

You can't turn a fucking television on without seeing another show about cops or landlords, I don't really know how much farther that knob cranks right

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

And ANYONE who has ever moved between states - or done ANY of those things, knows that you need a valid license. So if you're still saying "just move," well, that was never acceptable but now it just sounds like "fuck you" because all it tells me is you can't be bothered

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

They've been so deviously good about this sort of thing for so long that I almost feel bad drawing attention to it. It feels like the guerilla cable TV hacking of the '70s and '80s
