It’s not that he thinks he’s “unfamiliar” with the gay community, it’s that he thought Pillion was a good movie.

If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

Oh yes, Mysteriously Defective Back syndrome is real. Someone long ago posted their reason for contracting it was that “I drank water too hard.”

Once you start conceding ground to the “protect sports” angle in order to win an election you’re not fighting for anyone’s rights

Agreed! One’s favorite franchise/show/whatever is not worth perpetuating this bs. I’m a huge Trek nerd and I’ve even canceled Paramount. But they’d better not come for Bob’s Burgers!

As a long-time technologist who has built many software products: If your software does something you can’t control, you are a shitty software engineer. You have not birthed an alien intelligence.

Yep, but it’s the regular Yorkshire as a decaf, not the Gold. For a while it was sometimes hard to find in the US, but I’ve had good luck lately.

Lost a friend early this morning to gliblastoma. Scott was a creative genius who came up with crazy-sounding shows on paper that translated into live shows that were so fucking funny. He combined pop-culture icons into his shows so that they transcended the originals to become something magical.

I am generally skeptical of boycotts. But I don't think one can overstate the degree to which J.K. Rowling has chosen to make loathing of trans people and cruelty about them into her primary identity. Nobody on earth will suffer from skipping the Harry Potter series. Let's not make her richer.

Coincidentally a stellar J&H is being produced in Chicago starting next month. Guy by the name of David Moreland knocks that tune and the whole show out of the park. Highly recommended.

All of the LLMs stole from me. Most of the big "A.i." billionaires are horrifying right wingers. Consumer-facing generative "A.i." "writing" and "art" tools deskill people, cheat kids out of real education, spread falsehoods and disinfo, and violate privacy. So no, I ain't using that shit.

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

The standards of courtroom illustration has dropped dramatically.
Screenshot of a headline reading “I shot Mr. Thompson.”: Luigi Mangiome describes his planning and the killing of health insurance CEO
A courtroom illustration shows a man with short, dark hair wearing a yellow prison shirt. He is depicted from the chest up. The illustration appears like it was drawn in crayon by a high-school freshman art class dropout.

Fair question! I use the periods to avoid slandering the Alberts, Albertos, and Alfredos of the world. I use a lower case "i" to devalue the industry's claim of "intelligence," because "A.i." is not sentient. And I add the quotes because the whole thing is an inaccurate, bogus marketing term.
