transmisogyny doesnt wait for you to take HRT, it is so structurally ingrained in patriarchal culture, that transmisogyny finds you before you even find yourself, bc coercive patriarchal sexgender has to punish the female deviation at every opportunity.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

This is eminently reasonable, extremely well-argued, and essential reading. Erin is correct about all of this, and it is doubly urgent given what we've seen in the UK. 2026 is the time to correct the Dems about this. 2028 may be too late.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Eric Bauza advocated so hard for Coyote vs. Acme to be saved from tax write-off hell, and it turned out to be one of the best modern Looney Tunes projects ever. To think it would end up being one of the last Looney Tunes-related things he would ever work on.... DAMN. 😭 #RIP #EricBauza

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

I went to the aquarium today (I have a yearly pass). Met the new sea otters for the first time. Not an ideal orientation to take pictures, the sun is behind their habitat in the morning.

"a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."

Again, it’s important to understand that the transgender terror did not arise organically from the public. It was imposed from above, by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media class.

But everyone keeps telling me that Game Key Cards are "the same thing as physical" so i should stop complaining about them. Thank you, shovelware producers, for showing us the worst-case scenario. 🫡

A new Rudolph game on Switch 2 is proving problematic because it hasn't been uploaded to the eShop, rendering its game-key card useless.

Save this. Spread it around. Don't let EA live down the fact they looked at this and then did what they did right before N7 day, when this was likely gonna be shown. Fuck EA forever and always. Utterly reprehensible publisher, worst in all of gaming history. FUCK you. ALL of you #MassEffect #Bioware

One thing to note about Rowling's latest essay is that she says there has been a marked downturn in people accessing her anti-trans legal fund. She puts this down to more businesses seeing things her way, but the truth is that the "gender critical" movement has lost a lot of cases in the last year.

We can’t keep letting companies get away with this shit unscathed!! Revoke their damn permit and repossess the land! On top of fines that WILL hurt! You don’t want to play by the rules then you don’t get to play!

I thought this was an exaggeration and NOPE, "do you hate it when a black person gets praise or recognition? Just steal their work! That's what our product does." is the sales pitch! That's what they're going with!

There’s this French Sci-Fi comic book series called ‘Orbital’, that I never read mind you, where one of the co-lead is from an alien race that look like women to human. They all look like that but they have genders, they just never reveal it unless they trust the other person, even with their own.

Bill's back and you can immediately tell. He makes my writing better to the extent you can put lipstick on a pig. There are times I wish he'd just write it so I could read it in his voice: unerring and true, the best instincts in the biz. As I was integrating his notes, I confess I cried w/relief.

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.
