So just a heads up being supportive of trans folks wins you elections.

The original, in case anybody else was as curious as I was: bsky.app/profile/east...

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

If anyone is interested in the sequel to COHERENCE, we finally landed on a story worthy of the mission. Unless the actors revolt, we will probably do it just like the first one, where they know their own character details, but don't know what the other actors are going to say or do. Like real life.

An order of chicken fingers is called a hand. “Gimme a hand of fingies,” you say. If you want dipping sauce you ask for them to “paint the nails.”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

It is a choice to give Argentina a $40 billion bailout

It is a choice to use ICE in a way which terrorizes US citizens

It is a choice to tear down the East Wing of the White House and spend $350 million on a ballroom

Just as it is a choice to starve 42 million Americans by refusing to fund SNAP

Hate to do this but can you guys share this tiktok around on that app because a dude is stealing my art and designs and is running a dropshipping scam to steal people's money and the copyright forms are literally not doing their job. I can't let my work be used like this

This dude made a video about you today. I see him on various apps all the time, so it may be why you’re getting an influx today. youtube.com/shorts/EfJOo...

Doomerism is chickenshit. an embarrassment to every ape that threw a rock at a bear to protect the tribe. if you actually believe this doomer shit what are you posting for? it's chickenshit and i will have no truck with it. you had something better to do with your life than make the world better?

Dammit, commercials! You have TWO MONTHS to advertise Christmas, you can wait one more fucking week!

I love this movie, wholeheartedly. I watched it on a whim, not even knowing what it was about, and couldn’t take my eyes off it. I don’t think I blinked even a single time as the ending unfolded.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Question: since I apparently haven’t used Shudder in a while, is there only one channel of Shudder TV now?

RIP William Hootkins. Thanks for all the memories!

I've lived under martial law before. Not in the U.S.-in Thailand, after a coup. And I've walked Tiananmen Square, too. So what I'm watching in LA right now? It hits different. Because I've seen how authoritarianism takes hold-and how America's resistance isn't following the script. 1/7 In Thailand, I taught at a private school after the military coup. One of my coworkers had lived through the actual lockdown in Bangkok. He remembered hearing gunfire and realizing: they're killing people in the street. That fear settled into daily life. You complied. You stayed quiet. You survived. 2/7

The man who led the coup? He became a monk-because in Thailand, becoming a monk makes you untouchable. I was literally teaching his grandkids. People worried if the military would come for them, too. That's the weight of real martial law. It changes how you move through the world. 3/7 In China, I visited Tiananmen Square. My Chinese teacher's mother was pregnant with her when she stood in that square. That history was personal. But it was also erased. Because in authoritarian regimes, memory itself becomes dangerous. What we're not allowed to remember gets rewritten. 4/7

So watching protests erupt in LA right now-protesters shutting down freeways, standing off against SWAT, refusing to move-I'm struck by what's different. Yes, there's fear. But there's also volume. America isn't going quiet. And that matters. Because martial law requires submission. It relies on people staying home. It needs us to believe we're outnumbered. But in every major U.S. city right now, people are standing up. Not just resisting. Refusing to disappear. 5/7

They want us to believe there's no choice. But that's a lie authoritarianism always tells. And America-messy, loud, imperfect America-still hasn't bought into that lie. So yes, l'm scared. But I also have something I didn't have in Thailand or China. Thave hope. Not because everything will work out on its own. But because people are choosing to show up. Because we're not done yet. 6/7 Hope isn't a mood. It's a decision. And if you're struggling to find it-borrow mine. I've lived through a coup. I've lived under martial law. And I'm telling you right now: This moment isn't over. We're still writing the ending. 7/7

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Even for an administration known for its depravity, I was still somehow shocked by its callousness and disregard for history.

I wasn’t much of a fan of The Rocketeer, but I’m pretty sure this poster was what got me interested in it at all.

Massive L to anyone at Disney who was convinced this was an issue in any way.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

Same. I was holding out hoping it’d wind up on disc sometime.

Two weeks ago we lost a giant of the movie posters world, Renato Casaro. Today we lost a modern Master of movie posters: DREW STRUZAN. I can guarantee you have at least seen 5 of his posters in your lifetime. The man has put his art on some of the most popular movie franchises (Indiana Jones, 1/4

RIP Drew Struzan. Not just a movie poster artist but a man capable of putting lightning in a bottle, and of taking the form of cinema and encapsulating its spirit in still imagery. The best that will ever do it.

Here are 4 of my favorites:

Stoked to get this. Loved watching the B&W version in the theater when it came out.

A) Have a wonderful time.

B) Don’t go crazy trying to do too much.

C) Eating while walking is taboo.

D) To reiterate someone else: get okonomiyaki in Osaka.
