I'm not sure that "If there's demand, there's going to be a supply" is much of a legal argument, but I guess it's good as far as Louisiana goes.

Yeah, it probably is bad to align yourself with the evil idiots who are consistently wrong about everything regarding trans people. Yet the Democrats do so frequently. The natural conclusion to come to is that a lot of Democrats are just transphobic.

I don't think the Ellison's are going to do much better. They want to give their viewers some right wing newslop but not the uncut version available on cable AND get respectable ratings. That's just not compatible. Weiss is uniquely hamhanded, but the project is doomed to failure.

World seems like a pretty fucked up place when people hand Musk a microphone and listen to him talk about culture. What does he know about culture? Approximately the same as he knows about going to Mars?

As Katelyn points out, one of the races that Musk has been throwing the most money at is the one for Ohio Senate. And almost every single Husted ad attacks trans people. Maybe my thoughts of "Jesus fucking Christ. Can you just leave trans people alone and let them live their lives?" are common!

For my newsletter this morning, I found a small glimmer of political hope for trans people in the US and wrote about it: www.burnsnotice.com/we-may-have-...

We May Have Just Seen the Tides Turn on Trans Rights

Some conservative PACs have backed off from running anti-trans ads. Is this a sign of what's to come for trans people?

We also need to get religion out of American healthcare. 1 in 6 hospital beds is in a Catholic hospital. And those hospitals are not on a path to providing normal ass healthcare like abortions and gender affirming treatment. Simply incompatible with evidence-based, socialized medicine.

All right, for the sake of not being super repetitive, Wong Karwai is not included. Let's instead go with Howl's Moving Castle. My favorite Miyazaki, although Spirited Away is probably considered better.

Politically, I'm most similar to NZ. Socially, Anarchist Aragon and Catalonia (seems like a win!), and economically Socialist Yugoslavia. Uh. That's a diverse and interesting group. (Farthest from me: Kingdom of Jerusalem, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, so that seems like a good sign.)

Let's do more country music Discourse! I find it fascinating how some people try to connect it to the working class. It seems obvious that country music's primary allegiance isn't to the working class. It's just white conservatism wearing a working class skinsuit.

This is such a dumb screenshot. "Chinese are big on reputation" 1. "Chinese are" is certainly a way to start a sentence 2. Humans in general care about reputation 3. Xi has gone out of his way to fuck up Jiang Zemin. He's just more subtle than Trump, as is literally everyone.

I think it would be good for me to go back to the NES days, where I had like 10 games and 5 of them were pretty bad. There's just something to be said for having limited choice.

Hey! Some "Choosin' Texas" Discourse. SiriusXM, which loves a milquetoast pop hit, just added it to the rotation in the last two weeks. It's not real. It gamed Billboard's broken system. Also, it stinks. Worse than other Sirius hits from Noel Kahan and Bruno Mars and even Imagine Dragons.

"The platforms say prices are based on trading and they only take a fee from the trading." Poker rooms only take money via the rake. It's still gambling going on there and that they profit from. Fuck 'em up, NY.
