As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

All it took was City Walls to turn the rest of my train ride into nothing but Twenty One Pilots
A screenshot of a YouTube Music playlist called “So Many Pilots” that is made up of nothing but songs by “Twenty One Pilots”.

It INFURIATES me that people make websites that default to light mode rather than using the default system setting. You have the option to use my preference right there! Use it!

A blinding flash erupts from the chest. When your vision clears, your gear is gone.

You lost: the Palantír of Orthanc 🔮

glaad.org/fcc/ I decided if they could use the slippery slope argument, so could I. What's next, a label for content that includes POC? Women? Thank you, @authorkaraj.bsky.social, for teaching me about the Comstock laws because I threw those in my comment too.

It would be so fitting, but the Palantir is too good 😭 @middleearth.quest

A worn stone marker reads: "For the worthy." At its base, a compartment has been carved into the rock. Reply OPEN to reach inside.

You rolled a 16 — Fortune smiles upon you. RARE FIND!
You found: a Barrow-blade

Fortune: +1

#tadc #spoilers #theamazingdigitalcircus . . . . . . So the "NeuralScans" folder implies that the headset when they enter the circus isn't a VR headset but a brain scanner? And they're all copies? And does Gangle's truck flashback mean she's potentially in a coma and can't meet Zooble in real life 😫

@crunchyroll.com what a joke
A Crunchyroll Support chat, ending with an automated message before a human agent was connected, saying "I'm sorry we weren't able to connect you with a live agent right now.Another Crunchyroll Support chat, where the bot asks for an email and first name to create a support ticket rather than waiting for a live chat, followed by a censored message containing an email and name, which is promptly ignored leaving the user to wait for a live chat.A screenshot of the blatantly incorrect Crunchyroll Status website, showing that "All Services Are Running"

Me:
A poorly made two-panel meme featuring basketball legend Michael Jordan in mid-air, about to dunk the ball. In the left, the ball is labeled "hyping Gift by Vaundy" and is dunking into a hoop labeled "Posts". On the right, the ball is labeled "everything else" and is dunking into a hoop labeled "Drafts".

Well, hell of a year. 1. Just about done 😉 2. Not done, but I do have a domain ready for a pds and some atproto projects I want to play around with 3. Not done, but I’ve got my piano out of storage 4. I guess buying in Newcastle rather than Sheffield means this is failed successfully? I’ll take it

So I got tired of waiting for BlueSky to implement drafts and made an iOS shortcut to do it for me… Prepare your eyes for a flashbang 📸 In fact, I’m going to add the demo screen recording in the thread below, that flash is so bad I’m wired for people’s health 😅

A man says "fuck it. I wanna be serialized. I'm tired of living comic to comic. I want to experience more. I don't want my eternally reviving body to be used for momentary vignettes. I want to be somebody." Another man says "Oh Gary, I don't think it works like that. We are doomed to nothingness after the next panel." Gary shakes his fists toward the heavens and shouts "NO! I refuse! My name is Gary! I deserve more life!"
