Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Saw Wildwood tonight and it was INCREDIBLE. An epic feat of stop motion animation; the biggest middle finger to GenAI slop. Countless hours of work went into this film and I saw it tonight with a packed theater. Fucking INCREDIBLE theater experience.

‘Big City Greens’ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see ‘Wildwood’ for its mature storytelling.

Of all the architectural destruction Trump is doing to DC, this is the one I feel is the most abhorrent. (cartoon from 2025)

This is insane. What an obscene monstrosity.

jfc I'm listening to yet another pollster describe the reality of polling in this environment and I'm begging everyone to ignore the polls and just go vote.

K.B. Spangler@kbspangler.com

Really comforting to listen to pollsters tell us that their entire industry used to be based on math but now it's just witchcraft and vibes.

I try not to read anything Trump shits out on social media, but I gotta be real: going all in on attacking a victim of child rape by glorifying her deadbeat mother was a CHOICE less than two weeks out from an election where he's historically unpopular & his "anti-pedophile" base is demoralized.

Some of you are outsourcing all of the best parts of humanity, which includes learning and creating, to tech dudes who couldn't give a fuck if you were on fire. Maybe read Faust instead of having ChatGPT give you the fake ending where it actually all worked out great for the guy who sold his soul.

Today is Dusshera, the end of Navratri. Hindus celebrate this day as the victory of Durga, the Holy Mother, over the buffalo demon Mahisasura. He represents pride, ego, and male fragility.

We won't ever know Plath at all, due to Hughes's butchering of her legacy for his own selfish, wounded ego. (I am a proud despiser of that incompetent hypocrite Hughes. What a shameful little poetaster he was, always gaslighting and undercutting his far more talented wife.)

A single power event in Google Cloud’s europe-west2 region took down HSBC, Revolut, and Lloyds. The immediate reaction on HN wasn't shock at GCP, but at how many major banks were essentially running on a single failure domain. #cloud 1/4

From the above-linked article: "The difference here is that AI has, for the most part, been sold as a panacea for the rich and powerful — a way to control, to steal, to acquire and to expand, to take and take and take as they always have..." ...yeah. Yeah.

Getting so much news coverage of political candidates in states where I don't even live, but I can't name a single Republican policy that would improve someone's life. It's all about someone's religion, mom, or supposed vegan diet.
