Apropos of nothing, here's the callout I wrote for Eurogamer about the glaring lack of female voices in the games media. I wrote this in *2018*. Things did seem to get better for a while but now we're backsliding again and the reasons for it haven't changed. www.eurogamer.net/why-the-game...

On the one hand, conservatives deny climate change exists and oppose policies to address it. On the other hand, liberals haven’t convinced conservatives that climate change exists and haven’t offered pain-free solutions. Hence, it’s complicated.

This from the GOP nominee for IL governor is why you don't cede civil rights issues to these people by uncritically supporting the surveillance state.

If Flock cameras had been as widespread during COVID as they are today, do you really think they wouldn't have been used to track who left their house, who crossed state lines, and who showed up to Church?

We lived through it. Remember that.

The Free Press bravely challenging the orthodox belief that film criticism should involve watching the film.
A headline from Bari Weiss’s The Free [sic] Press:

“Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,' including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.”

First line: “i haven't seen the film,”

Here's a clip where Mike Minogue calls protecting reproductive rights a "distraction" because he's an anti-abortion right-winger. Minogue is just like every other Republican, no matter how much he tries to act like he's different.

In neighborhoods where they haven't yet install edbike lanes and sidewalks, the city is planting trees and other vegetation to give time for them to take root and provide the kind of shade that will make walking and cycling more pleasant. An important thing in India, where extreme heat is an issue.

This was a fun one to record. The Harit Setu plan is very cool. Instead of a piecemeal approach—a short bike lane here, a fixed intersection there—the city is redesigning entire neighborhoods at once to create complete networks of bike lanes and continuous sidewalks as well as green infrastructure.

If you give up trans athletes then it gets pushed back further to until it's just that being trans is illegal, and then it gets pushed back further to remove gay rights, and then it's just the police beating queer people to death in the streets with impunity again. And then Stonewall 2.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

I think this is a great red line for primary voters to hold, no support for anyone who will re-entrench Biden genocidaires. And that includes *everyone* because any one of them could have resigned and used their voice against the genocide.

They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

This map from 1951 shows how iron ore moved then along the Great Lakes, and almost nothing about this has changed in 75 years. To make steel, you need iron ore. To move iron ore significant distances, you need deep draft waterways. You simply can not get the stuff to fucking *Iowa*

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.
