Never forget even in the "Worst" places there are good people who want to make things better, more than you'd think too! "They deserve what they voted for" only works for those who voted for it. Even if 90% of Texas voted MAGA, that's still THREE MILLION PEOPLE who deserve compassion & support.

Top of body cut for cover which runs entire length of body. Head and feet cast (solid?) in silver. Eyes of crystal outlined in gold. Incised necklace at base of neck. Mounted on oblong wooden base, apparently original, of rough work.

Nickelodeon optioned my IP a few years ago. They canceled the project a year or so into development. I was disappointed at the time. I…don’t know that I’d even say yes to that now. I won’t share a corporate umbrella with Harry Potter.

Let's be real here. The TV show is gonna do well, and so will Hogwarts Legacy 2, and probably nothing we say or do will change that. A lot of people just don't care about trans people. That doesn't mean you can support her and still be pro trans rights. We're not gonna give you a free pass.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Eva Marie Saint, star of North by Northwest and On the Waterfront, dies aged 102
Landmark roles were in 50s classics directed by Elia Kazan and Alfred Hitchcock, before going on to play Superman’s adoptive mother in later life Eva Marie Saint, one of the last survivors of Hollywood’s golden age of the 1940s and 50s, has died aged 102. Her screen work spanned six decades: Saint made her screen debut opposite Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s celebrated thriller North by Northwest, and in one of her last screen appearances played Superman’s adoptive mother Martha Kent in the 2006 superhero film Superman Returns. A family spokesman said on Tuesday that Saint had died of natural causes at her home in Los Angeles. Continue reading...

I'm absolutely certain Season 1 isn't as good as it seemed to me when I was 14, but boy do I wish they'd stuck to it being an anthology show. They could have still touched on stuff from other seasons, just have a larger plot happening around new characters each season!

I was REALLY into Heroes during Season 1. I was really into the ARG, I still own a replica of the Kensei katana that I got at that time. Then Season 2 was kinda off, but the writers strike really screwed with things. Then Season 3 was... oof. After that I never went back.

The thing you like actively hurts a marginalized group and your continued support of it through money and the attention economy actively contributes to it. Period. There are other series out there. Read a different damn book. If you have kids at all, have them read different books.

On *some* level I can empathize with having difficulty entirely abandoning Harry Potter. It sucks when the thing you like funds real world harm in such a direct and obvious way, even compared to other IPs that also give support to bad entities. That said, you're all adults now. Stop making excuses.

EG fell for it too. :( The Capcom presentation contains a slide with "AI世代のゲームエンジンへ" - the article omits the "へ", for one, but the issue is that while 世代 means 'generation', it's in the 'console generation' sense, not like GenAI. Without へ, translation software gets it totally wrong.

Everyone is focused on the Talarico-Paxton race. But y’all, the polling average also only has Abbott up by 2-3 over Hinojosa. She’s just a normal-sized polling error away from pulling off an even bigger upset than Talarico winning.
