To celebrate election day, I made a video about the part of liberalism that keeps going โ€œwe can fix fascism with a well-crafted podcast episode.โ€ Check out the full video here: youtu.be/XLjqNQB-SGw?...

25 year old promotional wallpaper for Red Alert 2. Definitely would have used this back in the day had I come across it.

Dick Chaney died just before the Democrats could tout his endorsement in one last election. How sad.

people have completely memory holed this which is a shame because I don't know that I've seen anything like it before or since. Natalie Maines, performing in London, said she was ashamed that George W. Bush was from Texas, and in response she and her bandmates had their lives destroyed

Every time YouTube brings up so-called community standards and acts like the arbiter of trust & safety, feel free to remember itโ€™s a platform where Nazis are allowed to say what they please and mentioning the Holocaust by name is considered inappropriate.

In todayโ€™s Reddit news: the mods of the Procreate subreddit took down someoneโ€™s artwork of Master Chief in front of the trans pride flag, saying that it was too politically charged for the current climate. Reposts, comments criticizing the mods, or general pro trans art are also getting deleted

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

Did you that ancient Greeks built a kingdom called the Yavana Kingdom covering parts of what is today Afghanistan and Pakistan. They became Buddhist. They mixed Greek polytheism with Buddhism for example here's a picture of art they made depicting Hercules as a defender of the Buddha.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdaniโ€™s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Even though this didn't explode or anything, I'll say I'm very proud of this animation. It's got not one but two characters and they've both got new clothes just for this. Hope I can make more like this soon!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Normalise calling people who are obsessed with bringing trans people up in every argument โ€œweirdosโ€ and โ€œpervertsโ€ instead of debating them

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the โ€œlack of research into long term impactsโ€ excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. Itโ€™s purely ideological.

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.

Heck, these days you can even sell SD cards and USB sticks with the content.

Gamers Nexus did it recently using USB sticks for their China documentary. Can do the 'manufacturing' simply at home with a duplication system.

There are zero redeeming features to LLM-generated text when it comes to Wikipedia. It's bad enough to see the sickeningly and obviously generated flowery language in 'scientific' papers these days, and those authors should be similarly exiled for that offence against human intelligence.
